Call At Fiji
From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, August 8.
American yacht, “Seven Seas II,” from Los Angeles, left Suva on August 6, for the New Hebrides and Solomons in continuation of its round the-world cruise. Mr. W. Murnan (owner), was joined by Mr. J. Rolley, who first visited Fiji in the Danish yacht “Nordkaparen” last year. He recently returned to Suva from New Zealand.
The 38 ft. Bermuda-rigged sloop "Trade Winds,” arrived at Lautoka from New Zealand by way of Papeete, Pago Pago, and Apia, on August 5. The sloop left Auckland on April 28. It was in tended to sail from Apia to Suva, but storms took the vessel 200 miles off course to the west and calls were made at the Wallis Group and Futuna.
Two New Zealanders, Messrs. Michael Georgetti (owner and skipper) and Jim Baker, are on board. They are heading for England by way of the Islands, Aus tralia, the Indian Ocean, and Cape Town.
