MAUNGANUI'S CRUISE
PASSENGERS ENTERTAINED [by radio —OWN con respondent] WIIAXGATiOA, Saturday A successful dance was held on the M aunganui on Thursday night, the vessel sailing for AVhangaroa at 10.30 o'clock. Heavy fog prevented the ship entering the Whnngaroa Harbour until noon yesterday, and some unique effects were witnessed. Perfect weather was experienced insido the harbour, and the passengers were delighted with the fine show of pohutukawa blooms. In the afternoon launches conveyed passengers on cruising expeditions, and picnic and fishing parties were organised. Other launches made the trip to AVhangaroa, where hiking parties ascended the granite dome of St. Paul's Rock. The Christinas festivities included a visit, from Santa Clnus, accompanied by his retinue, who distributed gifts at a gala dinner. Talking pictures and dancing entertained the passengers last night.
