New Burns Philp Ship Arrives

The new Burns Philp freighter, Montoro (named after a famous old passenger-and-freight liner of the New Guinea run, before the war) arrived in Sydney on March 15. after an uneventful run from Britain, via New Guinea.

This picture of Montoro, 3,700 tons, was taken from the hills be hind Port Moresby, as she came into that harbour a fortnight before.

It was at first reported that Montoro would be on the New Guinea run; but she now will enter the Sydney-Singapore service.
