What is. reported to be a' '•'business" cruise among the Pacific Islande is being undertaken by a party comprising about twenty gentlemen, in the Howard Smith steamer Tyrian, which left Sydney a week ago. The expedition, which has been arranged by the Pacific Phosphates Company, will, it is expected, Igist for two or three months, Ocean Island and other spots where phosphates are found being visited. There is some talk about an intended call being made at still ■another island, which has not yet been exploited for this product of marine birds, but nothing definite has transjjjred in this connection. Within the past few years the islands have been extensively operated on for supplies of phosphates, large quantities of which are brought to the colonies at fairly short intervals.
