As they filed down the gangway there was a final handshake ana cheerful, encouraging smile for eacti of them from the attractive and ef-ficient-looking nurses and the other members of the company. “We have a lot to thank these nurses for,” said one soldier. “They have been absolutely wonderful.” In saying this, he was putting into words the feelings of all of the men. A fine tribute was paid by the Maori soldiers in a printed appreciation of the efforts of the ship’s cap-’ tain and the ship’s personnel. They expressed their thanks for the undivided care and attention they received “Such kindness will for ever linger; down our pathway of happy memories—it will be broadcast throughout our gas so that our people may remember and rejoice with us,” said th< Maoris. “Wars among natioxrs are our heavy trials in life, and we nr'* judged by the part we {day and the side we take. You. who are playing the part of the Good Samaritan, will not be working in vain, for in His time victory among Allied nations will be our reward. The friendship showered upon- ns, irrespective of class, colour, and creed is the true spirit of sisterhood and brotherI! ood. ’ ’
