JAPANESE VESSELS
Report Near North Cape ( N.Z. Press Association) KAITAIA. April 5. Two vessels which are thought to be a Japanese factory ship and one catcher were in Parengarenga harbour near North Cape for about an hour this morning. They were seen by several residents, including Mr C H. A. Rielly, and Mrs Rielly. who teach at the Te Hapua Maori school.
The larger vessel was painted a greyish w'hite and was lying well out in the harbour, some distance past a point at the heads where silica sands are loaded regularly into barges for Auckland glass works.
Mr Rielly, through a binocular could read on the hull a word beginning with ”Nip" and another word beginning with "Y.” They were first seen about 10 a.m.
On Sunday Mr and Mrs Rielly were on the shore near North Cape and they could see the lights of a large vessel and several smaller ones apparently fairly clcse in. The small vessels were going backwards and forwards to the larger one as if they were transferring catches to it.
