H.M.S. DUNEDIN RETURNS TO PORT

Exercises Successfully Completed Press Association.— Copyright. Auckland, Sept. S. With three days of concentrated exercises successfully completed H.M.S. Dunedin, flagship of Commodore Bur-gess-Watson, returned to port this afternoon. She was followed early in the evening by H.M.S. Diomcde with the large battle practice target in tow. After the completion of torpedo attacks which comprised to-day's exercises the cruisers of the Australian squadron remained in the Gulf. They will sail tomorrow, H.M.S. Canberra, flagship of Rear-Admiral Dalglish, for Lyttelton and H.M.S. Australia for Dunedin. Before the New Zealand cruisers left the signal "Au revoir" was made from the Canberra, and the Dunedin replied: "Thank you very much; hope you have a pleasant voyage." The Canberra's flying boat is to-mor-row morning to collect and deliver mail, and with all traces of the battle practice removed the Australian squadron will leave for the south later in the day. The Dunedin will have only a short stay in port as she will leave on a southern cruise on Monday. The Diomede will remain in port until September 18, when she too will leave on a cruise to southern ports.
