THE TONGARIRO'S PASSENGERS

It will be remembered that the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Tongariro was damaged in the English Channel by collision with a Liverpool cargo steamer, and had to return to London. Her steerage passengers on arriving back at London, transhipped to the Whakatane, which vessel arrived at Dunedin on the 25th January. Some of her saloon passengers came on to New Zealand in the Ionic, which arrived a week or two ago. The rest of them remained in London until repairs were affected, and the following is the list:—
