DESERTERS.
[Pan Press Association.]
AUCKLAND, August lu
Already the Inspector of Police has in his charge two deserters from the battleships, and has been requested by tbe Consul-General (Mr W. A. Prickitt) to hold them until a guard from the auxiliary Yankton (which is still in Auckland) can come ashore to take them on board. The men will then be taken to Sydney, where they will again be placed on their respective vessels. During the week about twelve deserters have been reported to the ConsulGeneral but many of these may have returned to their ships, as cases were reported daily.
