Reach Apia

From Our Own Correspondent APIA, July 5.

ON July 3 the SS Alameda of the Oceanic SS Co., reached Apia with 2,000 tons of much-needed food supplies, mainly flour and sugar on board.

The MV Matua, which left Auck land for Apia via Suva and Pago Pago on June 25, is also expected this week with food supplies and trans-shipments of English and con tinental goods. As on her last trip, the Matu again carries a substitute crew and no passengers.
