THE HOME PRESS ON THE WAIRARAPA DISASTER.
The comments of the Home Press on the finding of the Court in the Wairarapa inquiry will bo the reverse of pleasant reading to the Ui»ion Company. It was (says Globetrotter) "generally remarked whilst wo were on the New Zealand coast that our officers were overdone. All day they wers tallying cargo and at night they kept watch, and this went on for tho best port of a week. I asked the chief how they managed, and he said more than I dare repeat." The Chronicle fears that sailors generally are not what their forefathers were. In the "Wairarapa case it was left to the stewardesses—whom tho New Women have lost no time in adopting as one of themselves—to set the meu an example of heroism. Those courageous ladies' conduct will henceforth point many a feminine moral and adorn many a femino tale.
