MONTEREY LEAVERS SAN FRANCISCO
DELAYED TWO DAYS BEHIND SCHEDULE (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, March 30. Fears that the waterfront trouble at San Francisco would seriously affect the south-bound schedule of the Matson liner Monterey were dispelled today when Henderson and Macfarlane Limited, the company’s Auckland agents, received a cablegram stating that the ship would leave for New Zealand and Australia, via Los Angeles, today. The Monterey, which has been delayed two days behind her schedule, should reach Auckland on April 15, a day late. No advice has been received concerning the cause of the dispute, which was apparently of short duration. The Monterey will bring her full quota of cargo from San Francisco and Los Angeles, the freight including a shipment of Californian oranges for the Internal Marketing Board. The advice of the amended arrival dates of the liner at Honolulu, Pago Pago, Suva and Auckland will be contained in further cabled information. It is considered, however, that the vessel’s reserve of speed, after allowing for scheduled calls, should result in her programme being only a day behind when Auckland is reached on Saturday, April 15. Her schedule should be resumed for the return voyage from Australia.
