Cook Is.
mjJE Union Steam Ship Co.’s J. Matua, normally on the New Zealand-Fiji-Samoa run, will make another special voyage to the Cook Islands in November—she made one earlier in the year as stand-in for the pensioned Maui Pomare. She will leave Auckland on November 4, arrive Rarotonga November 8-9, Mangaia 10, Raro tonga 11, and arrive back at Auck land November 17. The voyage will ensure necessary supplies for the hurricane season and clear an accumulation of passengers.
The 700-ton freighter Viti, currently maintaining the cargo service from Auckland, put back to that port with engine trouble late June while bound for Rarotonga, but was expected to sail again early July.
