DESERTERS ARRESTED.
Auckland, August 16,
Already the Inspector of Police has in his charge two deserters from the battleships, and has been requested by the Consul-General (Mr W. A. Prickitt) to hold them until a guard from the auxiliary Yaakton (which is still in Auckland) can come ashore to take them on board. The men will then be taken, to Sydney, where they will again be placed on their respective vessels. During the week about twelve desertions have been reported to the Consul-General, but many of these may have returned to their ships, as cases were reported daily.
