CASE OF INFLUENZA ON BOARD. VESSEL FOR QUARANTINE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Owing to a case of influenza being discovered on the Ulimaroa, which arrived from Sydney to-day, pratique was not granted to the ship. The port health officer (Dr. Sharman) submitted the passengers, numbering 130, to a careful examination, and found all were well. A fireman, however, was found to be suffering from influenza, his temperature being fairly high.
On -instructions from Dr. Valintine (Director-General of Health) the vessel was not cleared, but remained in the stream all night. The present arrangements are that she proceeds to the quarantine anchorage at Motuihi in the morning, where a careful examination of all the passengers and the crew will be carried out. Besides 700 tons of cargo for this port, the Ulimaroa has 433 bags' of mail for New Zealand, including 140 for Auckland.
