Returning From Papua

Ward Williams expedition, which has been gold-prospecting on the Upper Fly, northwest Papua, near the Dutch border, since July, 1936, was to leave that area, using river transport, about July 15; and its members are ex pected in Sydney about the end of August.

Mr. Stuart Campbell, who had been maintaining communication between the Lower Fly and the prospecting party, 550 miles inland, by means of a Sikorsky S-39 amphibian, arrived in Sydney on July 7 with his sea-plane, and announced the return of the expedition.
