“Deluged With Lava”

TVTBN from the American freighter Golden Bear, which rendered such valuable help to the Rabaul populace dur ing the eruption at the end of May, ar rived in Honolulu on July 13 and told the newspapers there some graphic stor ies of their experiences. Those Rabaul un fortunates who were there during the “black-out” will be interested to learn that the Golden Bear was “deluged with lava.” The Rabaul-ites tho-ght they were very unlucky in making such c ose acquaintance with pumice dust; but now they know that they can thank all the gods that be that they missed the lava downpour which struck the unhappy Golden Bear! Sir Rabindranath Tagore, prominent Indian poet, author, and Nobel prize winner, will leave Calcutta shortly for Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. He will report on the conditions of Indians in Fiji to a congress to be held in Allahabad.
