Collision
From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, March 28 rWO launches belonging to Messrs.
Patterson Brothers, of Levuka—who have been running a ferry service
—collided Off the Ovalau coast in the evening of March 26, and one fatality occurred.
The Jubilee, 8 tons, 32 ft in length, was on her way to Lodoni, and the new Malahine, 24 tons, AAI ft long, was going to Levuka. The collision damaged both vessels—the Malahine so extensively that she was immediately beached. Four of the Jubilee’s passangers were thrown overboard. Three were rescued but Waqabaca, who was a well-known Fijian cricketer, disappeared and is presumed drowned.
