From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, August 16.
CUVA has had two more tourist ships in port recently.
The City of Los Angeles, which paid her first visit earlier in the year, arrived on the evening of July 24 from Los Amgeles via Nukahiva, Tahiti, Rarotonga, Nukualofa, and Noumea, with 221 pas sengers on board.
The ship sailed on the afternoon of the following day for Apia, Pago Pago, Hono lulu, and America.
On Saturday mprning, August 11, the Marama arrived with 240 passengers from Auckland and Sydney, most of them being from New Zealand. This is the first tourist ship to visit here from New Zea land, and the innovation was a popular one.
Rain marred the ship’s arrival, but dur ing the day the weather cleared somewhat, and passengers were taken for the usual drives.
On Sunday, August 12, a launch picnic was held on Nukulau Island, and in the evening a concert was given on the ship by the Defence Force Band. The ship sailed for Levuka, Tonga, Samoa, and Auckland on the Monday morning.
