After the Marama had left Sydney on her last trip (states a Press Association message from Wellington) a stowaway was discovered on board. Realising that the man was a New Zealander and that he was destitute, the passengers took up a collection, and sufficient was raised to pay his fare. The erstwhile stowaway finished the journey as a bona fide passenger and landed in Wellington yesterday morning a free man. Twelve crack American pilots are to go to China to teach the Chinese how to fly. They will turn out fifty trained pilots every eight months. Shanghai is to have' a £200,000 aerodrome.
