Shipping And Plane Services

rE following sea and air services are running to schedules in the Pacific.

None of the regular services which were suspended, owing to war conditions, have been restored; but preparations are under way for their early re-introduction.

As they become available they will be announced here.

New Zealand—Fiji—

Samoa—Tonga

Service Conducted By Union Ss Co.,

Ltd.—Subject To Alteration Without

Notice

The “Matua” will be withdrawn for annual survey after her return to Auckland about July 19. No vessel will substitute for her, but the following tentative arrangements are proposed to assist in maintaining the service during the withdrawal of “Matua”:— “Maui Pomare” leaves Auckland July 2 for Rarotonga, Atiu and Mangaia, and if not required to return to the Cook Group, to leave Auckland about mid-July for Apia to load bananas for Auckland. (See Cook Is. tables, below.) “Waihemo,” free Bluff mid-July, proceed to Auckland to load general cargo for Suva and Lautoka.

“Waikawa,” en route Pacific Coast to Auckland, call Suva mid-August to load bananas and general cargo for Auckland.

New Caledonia

rE New Caledonian Government has sub sidised and maintained the coastal ship ping services. The East Coast, the West Coast, and the Loyalty Islands, under present conditions, receive 10 round trips per annum.

The ships call at the following ports: EAST COAST. —Yate, Ounia, Thio, Nakety, Canala, Kouaoua Kua, Moneo, Ponerihouen, Tibarama, Poindimie, Wagap, Touho, Tipindje, Hienghene, Tao, Oubatch, Pouebo, Balade, Pam, Arama, and' return.

The owners are Societe Maritime et Maniere Hagen, Noumea. Sydney agents: H. C. Sleigh, 254 George Street, Sydney.

New Zealand—Cook

Is.—Niue—Samoa

fITHE motor vessel “Maui Pomare,”

X owned and operated by the NZ Gov ernment, maintains a direct service between Auckland and Rarotonga (Cook Island), with alternative calls at Niue and Apia (Samoa).

Latest advice is that “Maui Pomare” will not make a special trip to Apia (see NZ-Fiji- Samoa-Tonga time-table above) but will be re quired to run another trip to the Cook Islands.

She will leave Auckland on July 2 for Raro tonga, Atiu and Mangaia, return to Auckland and leave again about July 26 for Rarotonga and Mangaia.

The Family Of Jonas M. Coe

CERTAIN descendants of Jonas M. Coe, who was the first United States Con sul in Western Samoa, about the middle of the last century, have been in quiring into the history of the family.

Mrs. Emma Forsayth (who will always be known as “Queen Emma”) was the daughter of Coe and a Samoan woman of noble birth. When she settled in New Guinea, in the German time, she brought many of her brothers and sisters to live there with her; and the children and grand-children of those people are scat tered all over the South-western Pacific.

Old Mrs. Parkinson, who was formerly Phoebe Coe, and Emma Coe’s elder sis ter, died in New Ireland during the Japan ese occupation, at a great age. Because they had inter-married considerably with the Germans of New Guinea, prior to 1914. members of this family groun suffered greatly, in loss of personal liberty and loss of property, in both of the great wars.

The family of Jonas Coe emigrated from Scotland (from Glen Coe) to the United States about 250 years ago, and there are many descendants of the original group in both the Eastern and Western States.

Those who moved from Samoa to New Guinea, some 70 years ago, appear, with one exception, to have been girls, and thus changed their names when they mar ried. But one Coe, a brother of Phoebe and Emma, came into the Western Pacific in the German time, and then moved northwards into the Philippines. He be came a wealthy man, and died In Luzon m 1936.

Captain Chris Slattery, well-known Ter ritorial arrived in Australia recently from “Up North.” It is reported that he has married a Melbourne girl.

Mrs. A. Kleiner (she was Miss Cora Young), one of the leading members of the Sydney Polynesian Club for several years, and a founder, with her brother, of the South Seas Club, sailed for the United States early in July. She married an American serviceman during the war. and he arrived in Sydney in May to take her to her new home. The Youngs are members of the Norfolk Island family who are direct descendants of Midshipman Young, of the “Bounty” mutiny. ™ «roii tnnnrn man fpv A Stf tS ferentlv in order to v^,nf S on school there 1 place his young son in school th re.

The Rev. J. Hoadley recently arrived in Apia Western Samoa' accompanied by his famiiy. He will take charge of the London Missionary Society in the absence of the Rev. H. Whyte, who left on the May “Matua” for six months leave in Australia.
