HOSPITAL SHIP MAHENO
DEPARTURE FOR THE FRONT
The New Zealand hospital ship Maheno ■ left Wellington at 0.20 p.m. yesterday for Egypt, via Albany, Colombo, and Suez. The vessel left her berth on the outside of the King’s wharf shortly before X p.m. on Saturday’, and anchored in the stream. The nurses were required to embark before 10 a.m. on Saturday.- His Excellency Lord Liverpool paid a farewell visit to the vessel shortly before she drew out from her' v berth. Several hundred people, who were under the impression that the Maheno would not leave the wharf before 2 p.m. on Saturday, came down, to bid farewell to friends on board, and were greatly disappointed to find that the boat had gone to the stream. To make matters worse, heavy showers of rain caught some of the people on the wharf without shelter. The Government steamer Janie Seddon acted as tender. The departure of the Maheno was quite without any display yesterday.
