Auckland For Islands
TWO sailing vessels left Auckland for •the Islands on October 29. One was the Public Works Department ketch “Golden Hind” bound for Pitcairn Island with supplies; and the other was the 94ton schooner “Tahitienne,” which was sold in September to Mr. D. C. Brown, well-known Rarotonga trader. (See October “PIM”.) The “Golden Hind” carries a crew of eight Cook Islanders as well as five officers. On this trip she was taking four passengers also.
Mr. Brown intends to use the “Tahi tienne” as a trading vessel in the Cook Islands. Her former owner, Mr. A Donald, of Auckland, was in charge of the trip to Rarotonga; other members of the crew are taking the trip for pleasure.
Dr. T. R. A. Davis, who is going to a Government post in Rarotonga, acted as mate; his wife and young son travelled as passengers.
