From Our Own Correspondent
Papeete, May 1.
AN interesting visitor to Papeete dur ing April, has been Captain Hud son, R.N., retired, aboard his yacht “Ronda”.
The “Ronda” really is not a yacht, but a Brixham yawl, built by' the ship wrights who fashion the sturdy Brix ham trawlers, which fish in the stormy waters of the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay.
When Captain Hudson retired from the British Navy he could not accustom himself to life ashore. He acquired the “Ronda” and had her fitted up in the most comfortable manner, and has since made her his home.
Like Captain Villiers of the “Jose ph Conrad”, Captain Hudson has stahed the “Ronda” with young men of good family, who are glad to get sea-training and discipline under an able naval officer, and to see the world.
The “Ronda” came out via Panama Canal. She will remain at Tahiti about a month for repairs and overhauling, and will then visit the Leeward Islands, Samoa, New Hebrides, New Guinea, Borneo, Singapore, and thence to Eng land via the Cape of Good Hope.
