After spending two months in Australia, dur ing which they made a tour of New South Wales, Hon Ata (Minister for Lands at Nuku alofa, Tonga) and Hon. Sateki Akauola (Gov ernor of Vavau) sailed for New Zealand by the “Niagara” on February 17. Solomone Biukana, Ata’s young adopted son, remained in Sydney to be educated.

The chiefs intend to visit the Waikato head quarters at Ngaruawahia, and make a formal
