From Our Own Correspondent
Tulagi, June 7.
THE Solomon Islands have suddenly jumped into prominence as a place of call for the yachts of American millionaires, with the result that almost every few weeks there is a palatial ves sel anchored in Tulagi Harbour.
The most recent visitor was Harry S.
Bissell (of carpet-sweeper fame), of La Cresenta, Cal., in- his fine aux. Diesel schooner “Ariadne,” a vessel of some 250 tons gross.
The party intends touring the Solo mons and Java, and thence home, via Cape of Good Hope, West Africa, and Panama.
