The case oi the penniless woman wh* boarded the Victor}? at Hobart is pot ai| isolated case as far as the steamer's present trip from Melbourne is concerned. At Hobart a young hopeful, 14 years of age, also took a notion to see the world at nominal cost, and stowed away among the cargo. He was discovered before the vessel reached the Bluff, and it was decided to send him home on the Waikare,. outward bound for Melbourne. The task of putting him on board the Union Company'; steamer proved to be no easy one. as the boat's crew (including the third officer and the purser) had a five hours' pull in a heavy sea before they succeeded in getting alongside the Melboura* boat.
