UP TO TIME
AWATEA’S GOOD CROSSING HEAVY SEAS EXPERIENCED (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, July 3. Averaging 21.6 knots, the Tasman liner Awatea arrived from Sydney today right up to time, in spite of winds and heavy seas over most of the voyage. Captain H. Davey said the ship could easily have beaten her own record for the crossing. Although only five of the six boilers were in use, he found it necessary to slacken speed at noon yesterday, again at 8 o’clock that night, and still further at 4 o’clock this morning so as to arrive no sooner than 7 o’clock off North Head
