THE Australian survey vessel H.M.A.S. -*• Moresby is operating in the Torres Strait waters for a while. Two officers and four sailors are working in the im mediate vicinity of Thursday Island with a launch, and the Moresby is working further afield.

Several “spots” have been reported by the Torres Strait pilots during the past few years that need investigation and charting.
