THE PACIFIC FORCE
WORD PROM THE TROOPS. Press Association. AUCKLAND, September ■.&, An Aueklander with, the Expeditionary 'Force writes from Noumea: — August 22.—Arrived here with squadron. The Monowai, with the troops aboard, went aground and had to be lightened again. This 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 came across nothing. .The Germans cut the cable here some days ago. We are scouting for them now. The French here cheered us loudly. They were greatly excited.
