Schedule
As will be seen from our shipping columns, a change has been made in the schedule of the Laperouse, which maintains the Sydney-Noumea service.
With the approval of the French Colonial Government, the vessel after its January trip was sent to the East to return 1,000 indentured Tonkinese labourers. During her absence, the shipping company made arrangements with the owners of the St. Vincent de Paul and St. Joseph to provide the New Caledonian settlers with communi cation with Sydney.
The Laperouse is due to leave Syd ney on her next trip to Noumea, on March 11. This voyage was not previ ously scheduled. According to the old itinerary, after her return from Nou mea on March 9. the vessel would re main in Sydney until April 2. Her trip to the East will therefore not alter the number of trips which she would ordinarily make during the year be tween Sydney and Noumea.
