The motor yacht Windsong called at Thursday Island early in August for repairs. She left a few days later for Port Moresby and New Caledonia.
The Burns, Philp liner MONTORO, photographed as she lay fast aground and apparently badly holed, on the New Guinea coast, at Fortification Point, near Fin schafen, early in August. Her master, Captain Williams, saved his vessel from what seemed certain destruction: and, at the end of August, the Montoro returned to Sydney, via Salamaua, Rabaul, Samarai, and Port Moresby, with passengers and cargo. She is now undergoing repairs. (Photo, by courtesy of Mr. A. S. Young.)
