From Our Own Correspondent

Honolulu, Jan. 19.

RICHARD Archbold, the American ex plorer and research associate of the American Museum of Natural History, who last year led an aerial and scienti fic expedition into Dutch New Guinea, has decided to sell his famous airboat “Guba”, in which he visited New Guinea and later flew around the world.

Said he: “My decision does not mean that I have given up exploration. It means that I have postponed my work in foreign fields until the people of Europe decide to cease killing each other.”

The “Guba” is now in California.

Mr. Archbold is planning a new expe dition “whose field of operations will be confined within American boundaries”.
