Voyage Of "Bronzewing"
p. 59 · Read in the full issue
FIVE Sydney men recently sailed the 62-feet schooner “Bronzewing”, 34 tons, from Sydney Harbour to Samarai, and thence to Misima, Eastern Papua, where it was proposed to search for gold. The schooner met cyclonic weather and all suffered much discom fort. Two Sydney women, sisters, Mrs.
E. Cairns and Miss M. Coleman, accom panied the schooner, and it was reported in Sydney newspapers in mid-February that they were leading a gold-seeking expedition in Misima. Most of the schooner’s crew returned to Australia early in February. Later, it was reported that the ladies also had returned from Misima. There was no indication of the whereabouts of the schooner-yacht “Bronzewing”.
