' "As AT matter of fact, we are paying the- whole sum, required for the .charter "of t&e*' ship, wages, and cost' of fitting the" vessel out. Hiundreds of generous ' and % patriotic people , all over New Zealand ".• have insisted that they should be given ' an opportunity to conti>ibute .' to"' equip-* ? ment m cash and material, and they ' are so thix>ugh ' his Excellency' .theGoyernor, who has taken a very active and prominent part in connec-' tion with, this matter. I believe that the anticipations expressed b> the GoverHbr in Auckland a. few days ago ! will "be realised, and that when « the Maheho) is properly fitted out and equipped^ she> will be the best hospital snip in lh« ■ world." _ ■ .- : \ W '
