From a Brisbane Correspondent MR. and Mrs. A. T. Low passed through Brisbane recently in the Qancas flying-boat “Coriolanus.” They were on their way back to Rotuma, via Fiji.

Mr. Low is a native of Mackay (Q.) and is manager of the Burns, Philp store on Rotuma. Rotuma, he said, had a popu lation of only 12 Europeans, mainly mis sionaries, and about 3,000 natives.

After five months in Sydney, Mrs. Low, who is well-known to “PIM” readers as “Amel,” was looking forward to the peace of Rotuma.
