Solomons Cutter

From Our Own Correspondent.

Tulagi, Sept. 12.

Natives recently brought word that a Malaita cutter, with four natives on their way from Auki to Balesuna to procure a cutter at Balesuna, opened up between Malaita and Gela.

Two natives are reported to have been drowned. One native reached Gela after a day in the sea, and another after three days’ immersion, during which he lost practically all his skin. Three of the na tives were Malaitamen and the fourth, a Western native.
