Noumea, Feb. 6.
A party of 24 French Boy Scouts, who attended the Australian Jamboree at Melbourne, arrived here recently by the Laperouse, en route to France via the South Seas and Panama Canal.
On arrival they were welcomed by the troop of New Caledonian Scouts and, later, M.
Schlemmer placed a wreath on the Monument Aux Morts in honour of those brave New Caledonians who fell in the Great War. The party visited many places of interest in the nearby towns, and tramped many miles through the country districts.
They sailed for Marseilles by the Ville de Strasbourg after spending four days in the Colony.
