V They', are only doing what we ourselves would do. They have -left . tapir ..own country ■hoping 'torobtain work'- abroad and, having failed to dp so through no fault of their own, have endeavoured to get back to their native land by the/only possible- way open to them, "Those stowaways who are still .under twenty- ■ one are~in..every. case..senLbnck to their homes, and assistance is given to the ■older ones."
