p. 21 · Read in the full issue
News has been received of the arrival at Vila, New Hebrides, on March 30, of the mission ketch Patteson. The ketch was several days overdue, and owing to the stormy weather, which had been pre vailing, fears had been entertained as to her safety. She left Noumea on March 21 for the New Hebrides, and the voyage should not have occupied more than two or three days. Her captain reported, how ever, that fierce gales had been encoun tered.
The Patteson took on fresh provisions, and after a short stay at Vila, left for the Melanesian Mission station at Lolowai Bay, on Aoba Island, N.H.
