in a Beautiful Pea-green Bus!

A beautiful pea-green, 30-seater bus it was, making a fine although somewhat disturbing—spectacle of itself in November as it headed for Norfolk Island's Kingston pier, shortly after being unloaded from the "Tulagi". Paradise Hotel proprietor T. Hamilton ordered it from Sydney— thus getting himself the only bus on the island. "Tulagi's" master, Captain Frank Sadler, who took this picture from the bridge, had to wait three days before the weather was settled enough to unload the bus.
