Suva, Mar. 3.
ON February 24, Suva had its annual visit from the luxury cruise ship “Stella Polaris”, under the management of Messrs. Raymond Whitcomb, of New York. Although she never carries more than 130, there were only 76 passengers.
The usual native “mekes” and drives were arranged for the visitors and a ball was held at the Grand Pacific Hotel, with music supplied by the ship’s Viennese band. She sailed on the 25th for Port Moresby and Far Eastern ports.
Unfortunately, the visit was marred by heavy rain which prevailed almost throughout the vessel’s stay.
