AMERICAN PASSENGERS
PROCEEDING BY VENTURA CREW MAY RETURN HERE ' Very little information was received by the Union Company this morning, apart from the fact that at 11 o'clock Barotonga time (about 9.15 a.m. New Zealand time) all the passengers and some of the mails and luggage had been safely transhipped to the Matson liner Ventura. There was no advice as to the state of the weather or the condition of the Tahiti, and it was consequently assumed that there had been no new developments. ' The American passengers, and as mucli of the liiggage and light mails as can be transhipped, will be taken on to San Francisco by the Ventura, and it depends on whether the Tahiti sinks or floats as to. what is done with the crew.
Should''it"-foe necessary to abandon the Tahiti altogether, it is expected
that her crew will be brought back to New Zealand by the Islands steamer Tofua, -which is expected to reach her to-night.
