For The Solomons ?

T'HE full rigged ship Joseph Conrad, which arrived in Sydney in December via the Solomon Islands, under the com mand of her owner—Journalist Alan Vil liers —departed from Melbourne in mid- January in an atmosphere of mystery.

Seme said that she was sailing under sealed orders; others that she was on a gold-seeking expedition; others that she was under charter to a select company of scientists. All that was certain was that she was to visit Pacific Islands ports.

It was announced definitely on January 15 that she was under charter to a gold mining company, and that she would take a party of mining engineers and geologists to the Solomon Islands.
