THE Norwegian motor ship Hoegh Trader, which stranded on Horseshoe Reef, 65 miles north-east of Suva, Fiji, on July 25, while en route from Los Angeles to Adelaide, slipped off the reef on August 1. She was not seriously damaged, and proceeded to Suva, and later resumed her voyage, under her own power. She was assisted, while on the reef, by the motor ship Noumea and H.M.S. Leith, a naval sloop.
Mrs. Cyril Doyle left for New Guinea to join her husband, who is now with Messrs. W. R. Carpenter and Co. Ltd.
Mr. Doyle was formerly a resident of Fiji.
He is an old “Shore” boy, and carried off many honours at sport.
