nant about this matter, for he looks
on them as undesirables. "They have
no visible means of support" he said,
"but as they were passed by immi-

These men were found on the Ma.
kura shortly after she left Victoria a
week ago. They were to be sent back
by the Zealandia which passed the
Makura about two o'clock Wednesday
morning. Somehow or another the
Zealandia missed the Makura, or the
Makura missed the zealandia, and
they were brought on here.
The men, it was asserted on board,
would be taken to Suva, which is
British territory, and there held in
Jail until the Mariana came to take
them back to Victoria, where they
would be prosecuted. There was
only one American citizen out of the
eight dumped here, and this is ques-
toned, as he is thought to be a Swede.
The names, nationalities and occupa-
tons of the men follow: Fl. Corn,
seaman; M. Marley, miner, f. John
son, mechanic; English. d. Gurrey,
laborer; G.. Douglas, fireman; Scots.
l.. Ericsen, logger; American Y.
Quirk and Y. d. Smith, laborers;
Irish.
Makura to Tanning Island.
Officially, the steamers of the Ca.
nadian-Australian S. s. Co. do not
call at Tanning Island, but actually
they do; at least, the Makura is going
to keep on calling there until Captain
Glib gets instructions not to do so
any more.
With the cutting out of Brisbane
Queensland, as port of call, and
substituting Auckland, N. a., therefor
the time had to be cut down some.
where, as the old running time was
adhered to with the vessels going an
extra few hundred miles.
The Makura took about $50 pack
ages for, Tanning Island yesterday
which will mean that the employees
of the cable station there will get
their goods without any delay what
ever. Some of the boats take the
goods from here and drop them at
Auckland, and then the Tanning Is
land launch goes across periodically
and picks them up This is a very
slow process.
