The Monsunen

IT was reported in the August issue that the Danish yacht “Monsunen,” carry ing a Danish scientific expedition, was wrecked, in August, on the coast of Vani-

koro Island, in the Southern Solomons.

It is known that everyone got ashore, and that the scientific specimens were saved.

Mr. N. Hagen, of Noumea, offered the

use of a schooner, but was informed that that was not necessary. It is assumed, therefore, that the expedition has been helped by the Administration, or the Melanesian Mission, or the Timber Co.
