THE MAUI POMARE
TROUBLE WITH FRUIT CARGO.
(Per United Press Association.)
Wellington, March 6
Advice was received last night by the Secretary of the Cook Islands Department from the master of the Maui Pomare that difficulty is being met with in regard to cooling fruit and the vessel is being diverted to Auckland as the first port of call, and, it is anticipated, she will discharge a portion of her cargo there. It is hoped to carry the remainder on to the South Island. Earlier messages reported trouble with machinery. A full inquiry into the trouble will be held on the vessel's arrival at Auckland.
