From Our Own Correspondent
Port Moresby, April 8.
OVERSEAS vessels visiting Port Moresby have been lately more numerous. Besides the monthly Mor inda there has been the Carisso, the Le Havre, the Parracombe, and the Le Maire.
The Carisso and Le Havre are oil carriers and called with supplies for Papua, on their way to Australia and Pacific ports. The Parracombe, which is under the agency of Messrs. Burns, Philp and Co., loaded copra for direct shipment to Europe. The Le Maire, a Dutch Royal Packet steamer, is main taining a three-monthly service be tween the Dutch East Indies and the Western Pacific.
With so much shipping the wharf and sheds are liable to become con gested, and improved conditions would be necessary on the waterfront if any additional vessels were to visit the port.
