A blow-out occurred in the tyre of a motor lorry on which Mr. Leonard Joiner, manager at Salamaua, for Mrs.

Mr. Allen Innes was in Sydney, and on the point of leaving on a holiday tour in the United States; but, on learning of the death of his Salamaua manager, he immediately cancelled his arrangements and left for New Guinea by the “Bulolo” on April 29.
