Tale of a Stolen Launch
Apia, Nov. 6
THE large launch stolen from Apia, Western Samoa, on August 24, by a party of young Samoans, was wrecked on a reef off Vanikoro, Southern Solomon Islands.
The Fiji police advised Apia police to this effect, and said that the Chinese Samoan, Ah Siu, who was captain, and four Samoans, were being sent to Suva, whence they would be returned to Samoa. The launch was owned by A.
G. Smyth & Co., and had a cargo of pro visions.
The retiring general manager of the Colonial Sugar Refining Co. in Fiji, Mr.
H. King Irving, was farewelled at a dinner given by the Rewa Indian Foot ball Association, in October. He was presented with a framed address.
