Rarotonga, March 1.
A report recently reached Rarotonga, from Tahiti, that a small schooner belonging to two Americans was detained at sea and escorted back to Papeete. The vessel had left port without completing the usual formalities and was chased by a launch and a seaplane. A misunderstanding appears to have oc curred. A warning burst of fire from the ’plane’s machine-gun compelled the Americans to accept the inevitable and return.
Rev. Father Harris, of Port Moresby, arrived in Rabaul from Papua recently and is to take up duties at Vunapope previously carried out by Father Lyons, who departed some time ago on sick leave.
