LIFE ON AN IMMIGRANT SHIP
MAHANA PASSENGERS COMPLAIN.
By Telegraph-Press Association,
Dunedin, July 22. Soma of the passengers who havo just arrived in New Zealand by the Mahana do not subscribe to tho statement that the voyage out was uneventful, and devoid of any outstanding incidents. As a matter of fact, it is stnbed that a' party of passengers havo conferred, and havo decided to forward a caustic account of tho conditions under which they say Ihev lived on tho voyage, to two of tho leading English newspapers. It is alleged that tho Mahana was overcrowded, that sonny passengers took tho opportunity when sho made her : first port-of call in America, to go ashore- and lav in a stock of provisions to help them over the remainder of the voyage, and that the cooking of meat was earned out in a careless manner. It would not be safo to publish one of the allegations made unless It couW be proved to bo correct beyond a shadow of doubt.
