VILA, March 7.

THE Trans Oceanic Airways flying boat “Australis” which operates a more or less regular monthly service from Sydney to the New Hebrides, occasionally extending to the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, left Noumea for Vila on Thursday, February 19, but had to re turn to Noumea with engine trouble.

It arrived at Vila the following day and left on the return trip on February 21, with about 30 passengers for Noumea and Sydney.

The weekly service operated by TRAPAS, between Noumea and the New Hebrides, will soon be resumed, following extensive overhauls to motors.
