Dr Upton, ship's surgeon on the Arawa, on January 7 when the vessel was encountering fairly heavy weather operated on one of the sisters of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, who was bound for Christchurch, for appendicitis. Ten days later he operated on a Scottish lady for a cancerous growth, and three minor operations were also performed including one on the ship's electrician for a poisoned arm. During the operations the Arawa was hove-to. All patients made quick recoveries, and on arrival at Auckland were convalescent.
