Trophy
From Our Own Correspondent.
SUVA, Sept. 3. was a cheery gathering on board H.M.B. Leith in Suva Harbour on August 27, when Mr. W. E. Hancock, Commodore of the Suva Yacht Club, pre sented a trophy to the crew of the Leith’s boat which won the open sailing race at Suva in July.
Congratulating Leading Seaman Tibben ham and his boat’s crew, Mr. Hancock handed over the trophy—a polished turtle shell, suitably engraved. He said the Yacht Club’s members were extremely pleased that the Leith had won in view of the fact that the warship was in quaran tine at the time and the men were not able to land and share in the round of gaiety being indulged in by the two other war ships, Dunedin and Wellington.
