WEATHER TOO COLD

VISITOR CANCELS TOUR. CAME AT THE WRONG TIME. ■■■ — ■* • ’ ’I “I had arranged a six weeks’ tour of New Zealand, but when I came on deck this morning and saw how cold and squally it was I decided to cancel it and "0 on bv the Mariposa to Honolulu,” said Mr. Evan Roberts, of Manchester, a passenger on the Mariposa, which aimed from Sydney at Auckland on Tuesday. Mr. Roberts, who was formerly countv controller in East Lancashire foi the St. John Ambulance, said he was travelling for his health and had spent three months in Australia. The weather had been unfavourable all the time, and he was very disappointed to find that it was no warmer in New Zealand. “I have read all about your Maoris and Rotorua and about your scenic attractions,” said Mr. Roberts, and lam disappointed that I cannot sec them now. This weather is too cold to go sightseeing. It seems that I have come at the wrong time of the year. In past wears I have toured in Europe, but this year I decided to take an Empire tour and thus spend my money in the Empire ’ I hope to be able to return to New Zealand at the end of the year when it is warmer.”
