From Our Own Correspondent PAPEETE, January 15.
THE yacht Iolanda, owned by Mrs.
E. B. Taylor, of New York City, arrived in Papeete on December 22, via Panama and the Galapagos Islands.
It is said that this palatial three decker was originally built for a royal personage in Italy, and was bought and reconditioned in Southampton to suit the ideas of her present owner; she now carries an all-British crew. The guests aboard, who included Mr. Tay lor, Jr., and Miss Tiffany, numbered in all about 16 persons, and were an un usually quiet party.
While here, the Iolanda lifted 1,600 drums of fuel oil left for her last month by a Swedish freighter and, after a few days in port, cleared for Borabora, in the Leeward Group of the Society Islands, where a programme of stone fishing, firewalking and other events had been arranged for the party.
Thence the lolanda will proceed to Brisbane and through the East Indies to the Mediterranean where, at Casa blanca, Mrs. Taylor, has a residence.
