VISITING WARSHIPS.
DEPARTURE EROM AUCKLAND
Per Press Association.
-AUCKLAND, Sept. 6. The visit to Auckland of the Australian cruisers Australia and Canberra,* whose officers and men alike have been among the most popular naval visitors Auckland ever had, ended this morning when the ships sailed for the Hauraki Gulf. Several thousand people lined the wharves to watch their departure at nine o’clock and the flagship’s band played “Auld Lang Syne.” The New Zealand cruisers had sailed earlier, the Diomede taking a battle practice target with her for use in the three days’ gunnery exercises in which all four ships, also a New Zealand seaplane and Australian flying boats, will take part.
