which arrived on Thursday with coal
from Newcastle, has made what is
probably the longest continuous steam

Japan around the Cape, Australia and
New Zealand without a stop, but this
was made with contraband of war for
the Japanese and not as an ordinary
trading voyage
Captain Coward of the Wimbledon
tells of a recent ruling of the New
Zealand immigration authorities which
he ran up against on his arrival at
Auckland, ruling which makes the
American exclusion of Chinese tame in
comparison. When the Wimbledon ar
rived off the New Zealand port she was
bearded as customary by the immigra-
ton officers. These officers requested
a muster of the crew the members of
which they put through an educational
test, requiring each one to read and
write certain sentences in whatever
language they chose.
The crew of the Wimbledon is made
up of about as many nationalities as
it has members and the examination
proved to be long and tedious opera
ton, the writing part of it especially.
The sailors had been more accustomed
to the handling of a handspike or
shovel handle than to a pen, the sign
ing of their names to shipping articles
being about the extent of their usual
efforts, and each made a laborious task
of putting their test sentences on pa
per. The ink was capsized more than
once during the operation
Five white sailors proved unable TO
answer the test and to these the i'm
migration officers attached the same
rulings as they did to the five chinese
aboard. the captain having to give a
bond of one hundred pounds for each
of the ten that he would not allow
them to land on New Zealand soil.
