Edie Ck, Sept. 1.
ON August 25 several chains of the road between Kaindi and Central Camp slipped into Edie Creek. Fortun ately the enormous slide came slowly enough to allow the removal of the ele vator of New 1 Guinea Goldfields Ltd., which was directly beneath it.
Messrs. Crampton and Kincaird, with a long line of N.G.G. boys and much dyna mite, succeeded in clearing away the slide and cutting a new road within a few days.
Captain P. Donovan, in command of Messrs. Burns Philp (S.S.) Co.’s inter island vessel Malake, reached Sydney on October 8. Captain Donovan will not go back to the Colony; he has decided to reside permanently in Australia with his wife, who arrived in Sydney from Fiji by the Niagara on October 5. After be ing overhauled in Australia, the Malake will return to the Fiji service at the end of October.
