j £Peb Press Association.] Auckland, September 2
An Aucklander with the Expeditionary Force writes from Noumea, under date 22nd: “Arrived here with the* squadron. The Monowai, with troops hboard, went aground and had to be lightened again, which caused quite a delay. We leave as soon as she is floated for Fiji and Samoa. Then for the fun! The crews slept at the guns all the way down, but .we came across nothing. The Gormans cut the cable here some days ago. We are scouting for them now. The French here cheered us loudly, and were greatly excited.”
