ITINERARY CHANGED.
CRUISER LEAVES SCHOONER. , . TWENTY-FIVE DAYS AT SEA. /United Press Association —Copyright). From H.M.A.S. Australia, AT SEA, February 16. The tug Ontario having signalled after dinner last night that she was on her correct bearing, H.M.A.S. Australia left the schooner Seth Parker after an exchange of farewell messages. We are now steaming to Balboa at thirteen knots, in necessity of busbanding fuel. Incidentally the Austialia will have been at sea twenty-five days continuously, which is probably a record for the Navy since the Great War. In consequence of time lost it lias been decided to omit the previouslyarranged calls at the Bahamas and Bermuda. The Duke will be in Jamaica from March 6 to 16, arriving, at Portsmouth on March 28. It is hoped that official calls at Balboa on the morning of March 4 will be completed ill time to permit the Duke to fly over Gatun Lock, rejoining the cruiser the same day.
