Stolen

BETWEEN the time they were put aboard the SS “Lochybank” at New castle, NSW, on April 15 and the steamer’s arrival in Nauru. 12 bags of mail for Nauru, and 11 bags for Ocean Island, were stolen and completely dis appeared.

Parcels and letters worth at least £l,OOO were lost, including communications from Europe and America.

The loss of their mails has caused great distress among the people of both islands.

This is the first time anything of the kind has happened.
