Japanese Claim a Win on Old "Makambo"
The following news despatch from Japan was published in the Austra lian newspapers on November 15;— The Okada Salvage Company sailed the former British steamer “Makambo” (1,159 tons), into Osaka yesterday after having dragged her off a reef in the New Heb rides, where she was grounded on Sep tember 20, 1935. ( The vessel was sailed under her own power for 3.600 miles.
The salvage has turned an investment of 15,000 yen (£A1,125) into 700,000 yen (£A52,500).
The “Makambo”, built on the Clyde in 1907, was formerly owned by Burns Philp (South Sea) and was employed for many years in the Islands trade. She sprang a leak at Vila, New Hebrides, four years ago, and was run ashore, afterwards be ing abandoned.
The “Airspeed Air Circulator” is the modern equivalent of the old-style electric fan. It is claimed that one of these units can ventilate any size of room. They are available in a wide range of colours and sizes, and may be used anywhere where there is electric power. Noyes Bros., Ltd.. 115 Clarence Street, Sydney, are distributors.**
