CHINESE CREW ARRIVES.
Tc Man the Steamer Katoa. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 16. A crew of Chinese under Captain R. Cordy arrived at Wellington by the Maunganui to take away the steamer Katoa, which was sold last year by the Union Company to the Molier Company of Shanghai. The Katoa has been undergoing an overhaul at the patent slip prior to her departure and she will sail from Wellington for the last time within the next few days. Last Thursday another old Union Company freighter, the Tofua, left Auckland on her last journey before being broken up for scrap iron in Japan.
The Katoa is destined, however, for further trading service and will doubtless join many other former New Zealand ships which are still carrying freight between Eastern coastal ports.
