Frigate's Name Means A Stream, Not “Pain In The Neck”
PARLIAMENT BLDGS., Last Night (PA.—The Minister of Defence (Mr. Jones), replying to Mr. R. M. Algie (Opp., P.emuera), said the name
“Pukaki," which had been given to one of the New Zealand frigates, meant, as used in the name of the lake after which the frigate had been named, the source of a stream or brook, and not "a pain in the neck," as a newspaper correspondent had suggested.
