Pt. Moresby, Jan. 23.
THE Archbold Expedition’s flying-boat “Guba”. which is in Port Moresby again for additions to her wireless equipment, is making herself very wel come to residents, old and young.
On the 12th, she carried the Lieuten ant-Governor and a party of 12 on a pleasure trip down the coast as far as Rigo, inland across the Kemp Welch River to the foot of Mount Brown, and out to Marshall’s Lagoon, whence she followed the coast line back to the starting point.
On the 15th, she conveyed a party to Samarai, returning on the following morning. Two days later she took all the children of the township for a joy ride, in batches of 40 at a time. On the 18th, she made a return flight to Yule Island to give the local R.C. padres an opportunity of visiting their Bishop.
The “Guba” will probably remain in Port Moresby for about two weeks be fore returning to Hollandia, Dutch New Guinea.
