LEVY'S DISAPPEARANCES.

« A WOMAN AT THE BOTTOM OF IT. ■'. '.. I UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.] ■ V|jL ' The disappearanceiof Mr Levy J.P;, secretary of the Temperance AJHancev is still surrounded with mystery. On the. arrival of the Hauroto from Sydney, inquiries were made as to whether he was a passenger by her to Sydney on the last trip. Captain Kennedy and other officers of the ship knew Levy well, and are positive that he did not leave in the Hauroto. Against this it is stated that on a detective making inquiries on board the cabin Stewardess, two sailors, and another, on being shown the photograph of Mr Levy, said that he was a passenger. The Evening Press to-night says it has now been definitely ascertained that Mr L. Levy sailed for Sydney by the s.s. Hauroto on her last trip to that place, on Bth July. Enquiries instituted by the police show'that Levy was at the railway Btation on the 19th June, with Miss Bessie Ohlson, a Norwegian, with whom he was acquainted when residing at Norswood, in the Forty-Mile bush. It was then supposed that the young woman was going to her friends. It turns out, however, that Levy assisted to re-alter the addresses on her boxes to Sydney, and then Ohlson is known to have sailed for that place by the s.s. Wakltipu on that day (Saturday, 19th June). On the arrival of the Hauroto this morning from Sydney Detective Crystal boarded the veaael, and showed Levy's likeness to those on board, when several of the crew recognised it as that of one of the steerage passengers (there were some 35 in all) who had sailed , by the Hauroto for Sydney on the Bth of July, the day he was missed, The purser states that he was never questioned about Levy while he was in Sydney, and knew nothing about it until his return here.
