Papeete
From Our Own Correspondent.
Papeete, Aug. 12.
THE yacht “Navigator”, with the owner and five guests on board, and com manded by Captain Frederick Kleb ingatt, arrived at Papeete in July, and. after a short visit, cleared for Hono lulu. Captain Klebingatt is well-known at Tahiti, having been chief mate of the old barkentine “S.N. Castle”, which voyaged between ’Frisco and Papeete during the early years of this century.
The “Navigator” was originally the pro perty of the late Captain L. A. Norris who, in 1925, won the trans-Pacific yacht race with the “Mariner”.
Another American yacht also arrived in July—the “Dwyn Wen” —having on board its owners, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Overton, and three guests—Misses Re gina and Helene Claire and Mr. E. S.
Church. Mr. Overton, a distinguished barrister of Los Angeles, visited Tahiti 11 years ago on board the same yacht.
Howard Hughes, the American million aire sportsman, who recently flew around the world in record time, will shortly nroduce an aviation picture based on the life of the late Mrs. Amelia Ear hart Putpam, who disappeared in the Pacific during a world flight last year.
Katherine Hepburn is expected to play the principal part in the film.
