Wau To Sydney In

Seven Days.

THE “Macdhui,” which arrived in Sydney on March 29, brought mail from the New Guinea goldfields posted there on March 22. Generally letters from the goldfields take some 13 days to reach Sydney.

The fast service on this occasion is explained by the fact that a goldfields’ ’plane, instead of flying from Wau to Salamaua with the mail, took it to Pt.

Moresby, connecting with the south bound “Macdhui.”

Included in the mail were full ac counts of the opening of the first dredge on the Bulolo, which historic event took place on March 21.
