Carpenter Ships

First Due in October

THE first steamer (m.v. Salamaua) of the new Carpenter service will arrive in Sydney from London, via West African and South Australian ports, in the first week of October. She is due in Rabaul direct from Sydney on October 21 and thence will visit New Guinea ports—prob ably Kavieng, Madang. and Salamaua — and is due in Batavia on November 13.

Then she will pass around South Africa, calling at Dakar (West Africa) and is due in London on December 29.

The m.v. Rabaul is expected in Sydney via West African ports on December 15, and will proceed to Rabaul via Queensland ports, arriving there towards the end of December. She is due in London via Batavia and West Africa, in March.

These new vessels are carrying about 12 passengers each, and the fare between Australia, or New Guinea and London is £35.
