WOMEN’S LUGGAGE GOES ASTRAY Bv relegraim ’’>*•*? aaanelatlo. AUCKLAND, March 8. Three Melbourne ladies, who joined the Monterey at Sydney, made the disconcerting discovery that their luggage had not been placed on the vessel. They ascertained by radio that their effects, in fourteen packages, had been mistakenly placed on the Awatea. which left Sydney for Wellington the same day as the Monterey for Auckland. The Auckland agent received a wireless request from Melbourne to have the luggage brought from Wellington to connect with the Monterey. An aeroplane left Wellington with the luggage after the Awatea had berthed about noon to-day, and arrived at the Mangare Aerodrome at 4 o'clock, and was met by two cars. A launch rushed the luggage to the Monterey in the stream, the vessel having been delayed for two hours.
