DEATH AT SEA
MAYOR OF HONOLULU
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, July 3,
The death occurred at sea today aboard the Mariposa of the Mayor of Honolulu, Mr. George F. Wright. According to advice received by radio by the Mayor of Auckland, Sir Ernest Davis, Mr. Wright died when the vessel ■was steaming northward between Pago Pago and Honolulu, where she is due next Wednesday.
■*"- Wright, who was about 55 years of age, reached Auckland by the Mariposa on June 10, intending to make a round trip to Melbourne in the interests of his health. On arrival at Auckland, however, he appeared to be so ill that Sir Ernest persuaded him to come ashore, where he was provided with medical and nursing attention.
He had apparently made sufficient progress last Monday to be taken on board the Mariposa for the return trip to Honolulu. He was accompanied by two nurses, and according to advice received from the Mariposa last Thursday, appeared to be standing the voyage well.
