From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, April 26.
THE auxiliary ketch “Loloma,” an interisland trader owned by Mr, George Barratt, of Suva, went on the submerged Frost Reef, eight miles from Mango Island, on April 13. On April 20. the ketch “Tui Wailevu,” owned by Mr. D. Simpson, Sr., of Savusavu, ar rived at Suva with the “Loloma’s P er “ sonnel and as much of the cargo and movable gear as could be salvaged.
The “Loloma” is now considered a total loss. The keel had been stripped off and the bilges stove in, and all that could be done was to get her off the reef and to abandon her in the lagoon at Mango.
Mr. J. Robert Story, of the Unevan gelised Fields Mission, Papua, is at pres ent on a lecture tour of New Zealand.
In Wellington recently he said that his mission carried the Gospel to regions of Papua hitherto untouched by and although the work was difficult they had made some advances.
