Solomons
THE M.V. “Ambon,” a ship of 100 tons, was some time ago purchased by the Seventh-day Adventist Mission Board from W. R. Carpenter & Co., for carrying supplies to New Guinea and the Solomons. After refitting, she sailed from Sydney on September 15 with five mis sionaries acting as crew —L, N. Lock (late of Papua), J. K. L, Fletcher, W. R. Fer guson, L. Tonkin, and A. L. Whitehead.
At Port Moresby the wives and children of these men joined the party; also, Dr, Cyril Evans and Sister Olga Lucas. Cap tain J. C. Radley is in charge of the “Ambon” and Mrs Radley is acting as stewardess.
The vessel was taken, without incident,
to Port Moresby, via the waters inside the Great Barrier reef; and thence to the Solomons.
The party reached Honiara safely on October 16. With the arrival of these missionaries in the Solomons, a number of SDA mission stations, which were vacant during the war, will be re-staffed.
Dr. Evans is in charge of the Amyes Memorial Hospital on Kolumbangara, and Sister Lucas of the Batuna Hospital.
The “Ambon.”
