From Our Own Correspondent APIA, April 13.
A NEW ZEALAND Order-in-Council has been passed abolishing Apia as port of entry for the island of Puka Puka, which belongs to the Cook Group.
Puka Puka has been served by vessels belonging to Messrs. Burns Philp (S.S.) Co’s Apia branch, which vessels called at Puka Puka two or three times a year, selling goods and loading copra. The store on the island has been closed for a few years.
The Makoa will make her last trip to Puka Puka at the end of April.
