"Samoa Clipper."

From Our Own Correspondent.

Nukualofa, Jan. 7.

PAN-AMERICAN Airways “Samoa Clipper”, on her second survey trip from Pago Pago to N.Z., was sighted at Tongatabu on both her outward and re turn trips.

On the return, she flew right across Nukualofa. On account of losing touch with Pago Pago radio station, she con tacted with the station here, which kept on tapping her from 11 a.m. till 1 p.m., when she again got into touch with American Samoa. As the day was calm and clear, the “Clipper” presented a beautiful sight as she floated majes tically above our town.

Mr. T. L. Me Adam, District Officer at Kokopo, New Britain, returned to the Mandated Territory by the February “Macdhui” after furlough in Sydney.
