Sergeant J. D. O'Connor said that an hour after the ship left Sydney on October 24, James Henry Larsen had been found sitting by the No. 3 hatch. He had oo money to pay for a ticket. Larsen had told the wharf police he wanted to get away from Sydney, said Sergeant O'Connor.

He had a “substantial Inst” of Australian convictions. “I didn't want to come to this country. It was just unfortunate, that's all,'* said Larsen.
“It was very unfortunate," said the Magistrate. Mr W. J. Meade, S.M. He sentenced Larsen to 21 days' imprisonment, to be followed by deportation.
