Kavieng, Sept. 20.

Another mystery ship was sighted off the northern passage between Nusa and the mainland at noon on September 2.

She appeared to be of the sampan type, of about 150 tons, propelled by sails and motors.

When first sighted she was sailing along at a steady rate, but when she came opposite the harbour the motors were started and, showing a turn of speed that would easily have doubled that of any local vessel, she disappeared in a westerly direction.
