Service.
Thursday Is., June 30.
THE newly-formed Australian Tramp Steamers, Ltd., sent their first vessel, the “Tarcoola,” purchased from the Adelaide S.S. Co., through the Straits recently and, although Thursday Island is not a port of call at present, we are glad to see that the Australian freighter is getting business.
The “Tarcoola” was bound for Hong kong direct with a general cargo, in cluding flour, and was heavily laden.
She goes from Hongkong to Ocean Is land, where phosphates will be taken on board.
