Saves His Pacific Specimens

DR. AXEL HOLLER, a Danish scientist, who experienced many exciting ad ventures in the Pacific Ocean, including the wreck of his schooner, in the Southern Solomons, arrived at Darwin on the motor-ship Rabaul on February 24, on his return voyage.

Dr. Holler said that, with the schooner’s launch, they salvaged all the valuable ex hibits and the schooner’s equipment. The loss of the schooner was negligible com pared with the value of the exhibits, which were probably the best collection ever sent to Denmark.
