Ship girl went too far
PA Wellington After going aboard the ship Ngapara to drink with crew members, a woman had drunk too much and when she had recovered had found herself on the way to South Australia, a duty solicitor told the Magistrate's Court at Wellington yesterday. Moana Nui Ariwa Kapira, aged 26. unemployed, was appearing before Mr W. M. Willis. S.M., having pleaded guiltv to a charge of secreting herself aboard the Nga-
para for the purpose of going to sea without the consent of the person in charge. She was convicted and ordered to pay $2BO to the shipping company as compensation for her air fare back to New Zealand. The duty solicitor said Kapira had gone aboard the ship only for a few drinks and had no intention of stowing away. The Magistrate said he doubted Kapira’s explanation.
