ANXIETY regarding the schooner “Isa bel,” which left Sydney for Fiji on June 14, was relieved when the vessel arrived in Suva on July 28, after an ad venturous voyage.
The long delay was caused by excep tionally bad weather, which damaged the rudder. The crew of seven were forced to live on short rations for three weeks, though they had ample supplies of water.
The “Isabel” was purchased in Sydney by Mr. W. C. Nicholson, of Suva, shortly before she left for Fiji. On her voyage to the Colony, Captain Yeadonwas in com mand, with Captain M. K. Stewart as assistant navigator.
