THE VOYAGERS.
A WIRELESS MESSAGE. Per Press Association. Wellington, March 4 The majority of the party landed at Niue in the ship’s boats. They had a precarious passage a narrow breach in a dangerous reef, the waves breaking heavily, and all were relieved when the pasasge was safely accomplished. .Mr Morris, Government agent, and Dr. Ellison boarded the Mokoia on her arrival, which was a welcome surprise, the last vessel having come in November. The residents were' unaware of the results of the New Zealand elections. Their stores were low and all foodstuffs were scarce. A motor car and a German gun were landed and some cargo discharged. Sir James Allen announced that a tender had been accepted for an Auckland-Nine schooner service, and the New Zealand Red Cross had given £IOOO for a hospital and school. The Europeans were entertained aboard.' Fortunately Niue is our last bad landing. The weather is hotter. All are well.
