AORANGI ARRIVES.
THREE STOWAWAYS
MORMON MINISTER'S DEATH.
WELLINGTON, April 11. The R.M.S. Aorangi arrived from San Francisco shortly after 6 a.m. today. She had a fine-weather passage.
There are a fair number of passengers, including Mr W. W. Naughton, an American sporting writer and boxing authority, and Picato, an American boxer, both of whom are bound for Sydney.
Included in the cargo are nearly 10,----000 bags of barley, and a large quantity of hardwood and island fruit.
Three stowaways were handed ovei to the Wellington police. On the voyage to 'Frisco, the Rev. R. C. Hoke, one of several Mormon missionaries returning to Salt Lake City, died from natural causes.
The 'Frisco papers, referring to the two breakdowns to the steamer's machinery on the voyage from New Zealand, say that the passengers give Captain Evans and Chief Engineer Ward great credit fpr the manner in which they handled the situation. The vessel rolled helplessly in the tropical seas, but fortunately the weather was fine, and the passengers were not alai-med.
