From A Wreck
Rabaul, June 26.
THE other week, a wrecked ship which lies on the foreshore of Rabaul harbour, and has certain uses, slipped over—and up came her stern and down went her bows. Soon afterwards, the surface of part of the harbour became befouled by heavy black oil, apparently from the wreck.
Some reports said there were 50 tons there, which the new position released.
It is a nuisance—many harbour craft are showing a black band along the water line—but no one seems to care, and high authority naturally does nothing about it.

W. C. Groves has been elected president.
A son (their second) was born to Mr. and Mrs. Lionel Mansfield at Rabaul, New Guinea, recently.
