Passage.
THE Burns, Philp inter-island steamer “Maiwara” arrived in Brisbane on May 16, a fortnight overdue on a voy age from the Mandated Territory to Brisbane for overhaul. Two days after leaving Kieta, the “Maiwara” encount ered a cyclonic storm and made little progress.
On one occasion she travelled only 100 miles in four days and was at one time slewed right round by the wind, so that for five miles she was forced to steam due north, although her course was in a southerly direction.
