Gundoa Reaches Suva
p. 33 · Read in the full issue
SUVA, August 20.
AFTER a very rough trip from Sydney via Norfolk Island, the 25-tons yacht Gundoa, owned by Mrs. G. Vine, an Eng lishwoman, and commanded by Captain L. Kingdon, well-known in the Islands, arrived in Suva on August 14.
The Gundoa left Sydney on July 7, and encountered a heavy westerly, which helped her well on her way, but made
conditions on board most uncomfortable.
Arriving at Norfolk Island on the 21st, she cleared there for Suva three days later, and struck more heavy weather all the way up.
Those on board are Mrs. Vine, Captain Kingdon, Mr. C. Belfrage, a London jour nalist, making a tour of the world on be half of the “Sunday Express,” and Mr.
McCarthy, engineer. Mrs. Vine’s plans are somewhat indefinite at present, but she hopes to stay here for some weeks, and then go on to Tonga and Samoa.
