Maize and pepper from Java, and te,a from India, were among the 5000 tons of cargo brought to Auckland by the Union Steam Ship Company's chartered vesse.l Narbada, which arrived from Calcutta on Friday morning. The names of her ports of call have a distinctly Eastern character, and some are almost unknown to New Zealanders. Rangoon, Penang, Singapore, and Samarang have a familiar sound, but Probolinggo and Banjoewangi have a strange ring. The last two are ports on the coast of Java.
