From a Special Correspondent.
WAU, Feb. 10. /CONSIDERING the nature of the country, it is not astonishing that the Government Geologist, who has been sent out to make a topographical and geolo gical survey of portions of the Morobe area, finds progress slow, and that his work has been retarded.
The Morobe goldfields district is broken and rugged. High mountain ranges and precipitous gorges enveloped in dense jungle growth obstruct passage way right from the coast far into the interior.
However, in spite of the difficulties, it is reported that great progress has been made, and that the Geologist’s survey is nearing completion.
Miss H. Clark, of Nausori, Fiji, arrived in Sydney on furlough by the Monowai on February 13, after spending two weeks in New Zealand, For several years Miss Clark has been a nurse in the medi cal section of the Methodist Mission among the Nausori Indians.
