Honiara, May 7.
THE SS Corda, British owned, from Japan, with a European master and a Chinese crew, paid a surprise visit to Gizo. New Georgia Group, BSI, in mid- April. She was reported short of coal and food and unable to make any other equally good harbour. She remained at Gizo awaiting the arrival of the Viti from Sydney with fuel and rations.
The Viti arrived early in May. Food supply on Corda was considered ade quate but because of poor coal she was unable to make the Queensland port which yvas her destination.
