GERMAN BARQUE
AEEIVAL IN AUCKLAND.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, 3rd November. The four-masted barque Gustav, the second German vessel to visit Auckland since the war, arrived from Maiden Island to-night. The Gustav, which has a crew of 29, twenty of them Germans, has boon in Australian and Pacific Island waters for about a year. The Gustav was to have loaded 4000 tons of guano at Maiden Island, but, for some reason, could obtain only 2500 tons. Owing to the discrepancy in the quantity of the cargo, the barque will not berth until the matter of payment for the cargo not shipped has been settled. The Gustav was formerly a British ship, but has been in German hands since 1910. She was interned in a port on the west coast of South America during the war.
