Dearth of Passenger Steamers
From Our Own Correspondent
Thursday Is., Sept. 1.
AS yet, there is no regular passenger steamer put on to replace the Malabar, although the Mangola is on the run carrying cargo and a few male passengers. This means that lady pas sengers for Darwin have to wait for a month, until the Marella makes her trip. With the E. and A. steamers not calling at Thursday Island now, the passenger sailings are somewhat res tricted.
It has been suggested that, as the Japanese steamers make a regular monthly call for freight and passen gers to and from places outside Aus tralia, exemption might be applied for to allow them to carry passengers for Thursday Island, from the south, or to allow south-bound passengers to travel from T.I. by these boats.
