p. 16 · Read in the full issue
THE 30-years-old trawler Antelope is being refitted and painted at Plymouth, England, in preparation for a cruise across the Atlantic and among the islands of the Pacific.
The voyage has been planned by four young business men and two women, who have formed a syndicate known as Horizon Hunters Limited. They are Mr. J. Bruce Kellock, garage proprietor, and his 22-year old wife, Rita; Mr. C. H. Christian, bank clerk; Mr. J. Mackern and Mr. D. Taylor, engineers; and Mr. Kellock’s sister.
There has been some speculation as to the object of the cruise. Some commen tators believe that it is connected with a “treasure-hunt” scheme; while it has been stated that the voyage has been arranged in conjunction with a film project.
Mr. Joseph Henry Lewis, an old identity of the New Guinea goldfields, died at Wau on September 1, from pneumonia.
