From Our Own Correspondent
Honolulu, Dec. 11.
A YEAR’S cruise through the South Seas was ended this week by the American ketch “Otter” when she arrived, after a stormy voyage from Raiatea, French Oceania, which took 40 days.
The “Otter”, it will be recalled, organ ised the Correspondence Club of World Sailmates. The crew of the “Otter” wrote from every port to subscribers the world over.
The “Otter’s” owner and master, Albert Gallatin Powers, intended to voyage around the world, but the war in Europe upset this plan. So after completing a year’s service to his 300 subscribers, he decided to head for home. He had visited the Marquesas, Tuamotus, Society Group, Cook Islands, and American Samoa.
Hon. W. Wise, Director of Public Works in Fiji, and Mrs. Wise, arrived in New Zealand by the “Mariposa” at the end of December to spend several months’ in touring the Dominion.
