The police were waiting on the wharf this morning with a warrant for a man who had been deported from New Zealand by the Ulimaroa. but the wanted man was nowhere to be found. It is now believed that he either slipped overboard from the stern of the ship while she was berthing, or disappeared stealthily among the crowd during the disembarkation of the passengers.

The deportee mentioned in the cable message from Sydney is no doubt William Thomas Youlden, who was placed on board the Ulimaroa shortly before sailing time on Friday by Auckland detectives. It is known that Y'oulden sailed from Auckland. His deportation followed upon an order made last Wednesday by Air F. K. Hunt, S.Af., in the Police Court as a result of proceedings by the Customs Department, on the ground that ho was* an undesirable character. Youlden, who had just been released from gaol after serving a sentence of three months’ imprisonment for unlawfully converting a motor-car at Hamilton, was said to have landed in New Zealand under the assumed name of Thomas. He had been sentenced in Adelaide on August- 7, 1925, to twelve months’ imprisonment for attempted larceny from the person, an offence punishable bv two years imprisonment in New Zealand, and had landed in the Dominion on Alay 21 this year, or less than two years from the time of the expiration of his sentence. It was on this ground that tho deportation order was made.
