FUTURE OF PAMIR
IMMEDIATE CONTROL INTERESTS AT VARIANCE P.A. WELLINGTON, Oct. 15. Who will take charge of the barque Pamir now that the New Zealand Government has relinquished control is a matter of controversy. A former officer of the Pamir’/sMr K. C. Liewendahl, has been authorised by cable by' the former owner of the Pamir. Mr Gustav Erikson, of Mariehamm, Finland, to take care of his interests. However, a Marine Department spokesman pointed out that the barque is being returned to the Finnish Government and the Finns have not yet appointed an official agent in New Zealand. He added that Mr Erikson was not concerned in the matter, Pamir, as he said the ship belonged tive of the Finnish Government, which would reply to the New Zealand Government through the New Zealand High Commissioner, Mr W. J. Jordan, in London. Until this reply had been received, the Pamir would not be handed over. On the other hand, Mr Liewendahl says he dcubts if the Finnish Government has anything to do with the Pamir, as he said she ship belonged to Mr Erikson before she was commandeered in Wellington, and still belonged to Mr Erikson officially.
