AUSTRALIAN MAIL LINE.
STEAMERS TO CALL AT TONGA,
Upon the return to Tonga of Mr. R. CJ. M. Denny, formerly Collector of Customs to the Tongan Government, from, a visit to Scotland (writes the Nukualofa correspondent of the " Sydney Daily Telegraph" under date March 7), it was announced that he had been' appointed local agent for the Royal Australian mail line : of steamers, and that from March 7 onwards the boats of that line would call at Nukualofa, both on their way to and from San Francisco to Sydney. : This means another " banana " boat to Auckland, and active preparations are being made to get a trial shipment ready for •the first of the new boats. No passengers are to be carried by this line, but , they notify that freights, for a beginning, are to be the same as those charged by the Union S.S. Company, Limited, of j New Zealand. Shipments from the Is- | lands, both of copra and fruit, are likely to be small for some time to come owing to the impssable state of the country roads, due to almost continuous rain of the past month.
