CAPTURE OF THE MOA DESCRIBED. The following statement was issued on Thursday evening by the naval adviser to the Government, Captain P. H. Hall- Thompson

The escaped German prisoners who have now, to the credit of the country,' been returned, to New Zealand, appear. to bare obeyed carefully, the normal rules of war in all, their proseedings. After escaping from Motaihi, they con couled thexuelves in one of the numerous gall inlets of the islands until a suitable drait for their purposes was sighted.

Meanwhile they had taken the pre caution of proceeding outside the three- mile limit, and there wearing in all the escapees as members of the Kaiser's Navy, thus making them all members of the Imperial German forces.

When capturing the Hoe, which ap parently had not heard of the escape before sailing from Tauranga, the Gar- mans approached ander the New Zealand fag: but just previously to commitung any act of war, the German Ensign - of * small size—was boisted.” Apparently the launch Pearl hailed the Mon to heare 1 to, then went alongride, and at once pat men on board her. The unsuspecting crew, who were mostly below 43.the moment, were of course, outnumbered and overpowered. They were told thes they were civilian prisoners of the Kaiser, and must do as they were told, and that that they would be recom peased for any loss of pay they suffered while working for Germany..
