THE French have chartered a number of foreign ships for the Pacific ser vice. Recent ones include the Nor wegian ship, Grey County, which is plying (with chrome) between Noumea, the New Hebrides, Papeete, and France; the liners Chung Chow and Chung King; and an English ship, the Pentire, which is to link ports of Northern France and Mar seilles with Australia and Noumea, re turning via Tahiti and the Panama Canal.
Carpenters equipment and £4,000 worth of building materials for the rebuilding of the Methodist Mission centre on New Ireland were unloaded from the Kelanoa just a few hours before that unlucky vessel went up on a reef last month.
