Matson Freighter Calls at Rarotonga
From Our Own Correspondent WHEN Viti, the Cook Islands’ stand-in shipping link with New Zealand, went out of commis sion with engine trouble, efforts to have the Matson freighter Ventura call on her way from Papeete to Auckland were successful.
On August 13, the ship loaded 7,293 cases of Rarotongan tomatoes. 58 tons of copra and a small quantity of vegetables for the NZ market.
U William (Seven Little Sisters) Willis, who drifted lone-handed across the south-eastern Pacific last year, has published his story in fuller form in The Gods Were Kind.
