STOWAWAY LANDED
“ROAMING OF THE SEAS” OVER.
ABLE TO RETURN TO POLAND.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright
Melbourne, April 10.
Reprieved from his possible fate of having to “roam seas for ever,” Elias Wolsdorf, the Polish stowaway on the Pensilva, was released when the ship arrived at Melbourne, following representations by members of the Jewish community. The Customs Department gave Wolsdorf permission to land providing he leaves the Commonwealth within four months.
A cable message from. Sydney on April 4 stated that the master of the cargo vessel Pensilva was faced with an apparently insoluble problem owing to the presence in his ship of a stowaway who could be landed only at Gdynia, in Poland, a port at which the ship was never likely to call. Wolsdorf boarded the vessel at Huelva, Spain, four months ago.
