[IURNS PHILP’s new 12-passenger j freighter Tulagi is expected to clear the UK on her maiden oyage via Suez in mid-March, and rrive in Sydney early May.

First Islands voyage will be to 'anning, Washington, and Christmas ia Rabaul and Tarawa. Timber ill probably be taken from Rabaul, id labour will be carried from the ilberts to the Line Islands with her repatriated labour on the re irn run.

It is probable that about Sep mber, Tulagi will relieve Malaita i the Solomons service, though no rm plans are yet available as to le rearrangement of the Islands rvice following the arrival of the ;w vessel. Tulagi will be some lat smaller than BP’s Malekula.
