From Our Own Correspondent
Port Moresby, July 1.
MONSIEUR Alain Gerbault, the well known French traveller, writer and former tennis champion arrived here last week from the Central Pacific, in his 34 ft. sailing boat. His craft, named after himself, was built in Prance, though he himself has not been back to France since 1932. In recent years he has been roaming through Polynesia, with long stops at Tahiti, Samoa and Tonga.
M. Gerbault has written a new book, but its publication has been postponed owing to the war.
Mr. H. Brudo, of the Trobriand Islands, Eastern Papua, is now on his way to India on a business trip. Mrs. Brudo (who is at present convalescing from an illness) and her daughter will live in Samarai while Mr., Brudo is away.
