Cows Have A Long Trip

VI/HEN the Montoro sailed from Cairns **for New Guinea on May 19, she car ried 10 Illawarra-Shorthorn cattle for Mr. Jack Kane’s dairy herd at Bulolo.

Unfortunately, the steamer’s enforced delay at Rabaul, caused by the volcanic disturbance, made it imperative that the

beasts should be landed it they were to survive, as already they had suffered much from heat and sea-sickness. Al though the loss was expected to be more, only one calf died (born on board) and all ten cattle were left grazing at Kokopo, near the refugee town, until other ar rangements could be made for their transport to Lae, Thence, they will go to Bulolo by aeroplane.
