The Cooks
It was announced in Sydney in November that the Matson liners “Monterey” and “Mari posa” would make regular calls at Rarotonga, in the Cooks, on their southbound runs between America and Australia.
Because Rarotonga has no big ship harbour, the company is not advertising passenger set downs there, and passengers who want to get off will have to accept the risk of being over carried to Auckland.
But for those people already in Rarotonga the news has been warmly received—and this re port from Rarotonga corre spondent Gordon Russell ex plains why.
In addition, the Rarotonga Crippled Children’s Society is likely to benefit from donations made by passengers to local concert parties which will now go aboard each time the ships make their short stay in the Cooks.
