TRAINING AT SEA FOR RESERVISTS
Seven Days Aboard The Stawell As the Royal New Zealand Navy Ship Stawell steams off Canterbury next month, 16 ratings of the Canterbury division of the Royal New Zealand Navy Volunteer Reserve will be having practical instruction in seamanship and gunners’ aboard her. The Stawell, which is due at Lyttelton on Thursday, June 4 will leave the following day with the reservists. After seven days they will return to Lyttelton, and the Stawell will sail for Dunedin to take on reservists there.
Original plans were to “pay off” the Stawell this month and send a number of the crew to Britain for training on the new frigate, the Otago, the district naval officer (Lieutenant-Com-mander J. S. Pallot) said yesterday. The Stawell, however, will now be kept in commission until August.
