| ent little puzzled as to what to do
with one Otto Maahs,sa boy aboard his
vessel Though blessed With German
name, Otto was British soldier in
South Africa at the commencement of
the Boer war and now claims that he
is an American and wants his dis
charge in this port as an American.
Maahs did not sign the Dominion's
articles at Newcastle, he. simply took
passage without going through the
process of signing on" Captain Rodd
asked him to sign after the Dominion
had left Australia for this port but the
boy refused to do anything of the kind.
Whether or not he is a stowaway is a
question.
Though Otto Maahs claims he is a
citizen of the United States he carries
with him his discharge from the Brit
ish Army in South Africa, and very
good discharge it is, too.
However, the man with the German
name, British army discharge and Am
erican claims, says that he intends to
claim American protection in securing
his rights from the Dominion. He says
he is a native of New York, that a
year ago he went from New Orleans
to Capetown, joining the "Opens Light
Horse and serving from February 13 tc
May 49, Two months ago, he says, he
shipped on the Dominion at Newcastle
having gone there from South Africa
4 If Maahs can establish his nationality
he will have no trouble in getting his
discharge from the Dominion.
