AN eventful voyage from Hong kong delayed by four days the arrival of the Eastern Star at Rabaul in July.

First the ship lost a propeller blade. Then she was diverted to Manus to land a dangerously ill man.

After unloading at Rabaul, Eastern Star sailed for Sydney, and then to dry dock for repairs. !IMr. K. J. Garnett, a Veterinary Officer in Fiji who has been on leave in Britain, has won a diploma of veterinary State medicine at the Royal Dick Veterinary College, Edinburgh.
