Pt. Moresby, July 31.
THE French warship Savorgnan de Brazza arrived in Port Moresby on July 6, on her cruise through the Pacific and left again on July 27 for Yule Island, where she put in for three days before continuing her way east wards.
The usual official calls were ex changed on her arrival, between the Commander and His Excellency Sir Hubert Murray, and the Lieut Governor’s salute of 15 guns was fired.
In the evening Sir Hubert and Lady Murray entertained Commander Rosati and officers of the warship at dinner at Government House; and later they attended a ball given by the Church of England Ladies’ Guild in Port Moresby.
