L. Murray, returned to Port Moresby by the Laurabada on November 28, after an extended tour of inspection in the Eastern and North-eastern Divisions of the Territory.

Influenza was raging at every port of call. At Samarai the business of the town was practically at a standstill for a few days. The crew of the Laura bada were laid up in consequence. For tunately the weather was particularly good throughout the trip and no seri ous inconvenience delayed the tour.
