AUCKLAND, October 8. A distressing incident marred the
pleasure of those on board the Niagara on her trip from Vancouver to Auckland. The evening before the vessel reached Honolulu, Mr. S. A. Mott, of Albury, New South Wales, aged 70, a member of the delegation of Australians of Scottish descent on their way back from Scotland, was lost overboard. He carried practically all his personal papers with him. R was not until late in the evening that Mr. Mott was reported missing, and after a thorough search of the ship had been carried out, it was decided that he had been lost by falling overboard. Mr. Mott was a widower, his wife having died shortly before he left Australia. He was accompanied on the trip by his niece.
