Norfolk Is.. July 5.
THE weather was bad when the Morinda arrived off the island on Saturday, June 30, and only deck cargo and much-needed flour could be landed. On Monday, the island was hit by the tail end of a cyclonic storm, and wind at over 80 mph did minor damage. The Morinda rode out the storm, but the swell was so heavy that she could not begin unloading cargo uptil July 4.
We have been desperately short of food stuffs and building materials; and this cargo, while welcome, will not last long.
