Yacht Inspire In Sydney
p. 48 · Read in the full issue
THE South Pacific cruising yacht Inspire, 30 tons, and 80 ft. long—formerly a Brixham trawler —which reached Newcastle in a somewhat battered condition on August 15, was quickly repaired, and arrived in Sydney three weeks later. Owner-skipper H. Williams, an Australian, who sailed her out from England, via Panama Canal.
French Oceania and the Cook Islands, thinks he may offer her for sale.
The Inspire spent a considerable time in Polynesia. All the original English crew, except one, went home: and Captain Williams brought the vessel from the Cook Islands with one European and three lads from Rarotonga.
Captain Williams’s chief griev ance is that the Australian officials will not allow him to take ashore his favourite fox terrier, although the dog has first-class health cer tificates, and comes from West Indies, where rabies are practically unknown.
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Malcolm, of Wau, New Guinea, well-known old residents of the goldfield, were on furlough in Sydney in October.
