Wrecked At Malaita
From Our Own Correspondent TULAGI, April 2.
A GAIN a heavy nor’-wester, which, however, was chiefly westerly to sou’-westerly, has had its little joke with the Solomons.
Quite a little damage was done to build ings, and floods were heavy. Levers’ a.v.
Miro, just off the slip, was wrecked near Bina, on Malaita Is. She is again on the slip for considerable repairs, and, had it not been for the able handling by her skipper, and later by a salvage party, the vessel would have been a total loss.
The very useful green pile light off Gavutu became completely distracted at the news of the loss of the Miro, and cast itself into the sea. It is hoped that the pile light, so considerately provided by Levers, will be soon replaced.
