Dismissed.
Captain H. McLean, of the s.s. Mapourika, has received notice of his dismissal from the Union Company's service, and intends to take up land. Captain McLean had fourteen years' experience in the positions of second mate of the Mararoa and first mate of the Takapuna. As one of those who did not go on strike he was placed in charge of the Janet Niccol from which he was promoted to the Mawhera, and he was for a time in charge of the Pukaki. He brought out the new vessel Rotoiti, and alter being in charge of the Penguin, was placed on the Mapourika. In connection with the stranding of the vessel, the Court of Enquiry entirely exonerated Captain McLean from blame. It is because of the inexorable rule of the Company that when a boat is wrecked the captain will be discharged, that Captain McLean leaves the service.
