ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET, LORD TOVEY, ARRIVES IN NZ.
(P.A.) Wellington, Jan. 20. “My'visit is entirely unofficial and is not connected with naval business,” said Admiral of the Fleet Lord Tovey, who arrived in Wellington to-day from Sydney, accompanied by Lady Tovey. They were met at the wharf
by representatives of Government House and the Royal New Zealand Navy. “I have some nephews and nieces in your islands, and I am looking forward to visiting them,” said Lord Tovey, who added that he expected to stay in New Zealand for three months. Before being whisked away in a car when he landed from the Cobar, to which he was transhipped from the Wanganella, Lord Tovey indicated that he preferred not to talk “shop” of the engagements with which he had been concerned.
