RISKY VOYAGE.
BUSINESS MAN IN YACHT. PAGO PAGO TO SUVA. (Prom Our Own Correspondent.) SUVA, June 21. When Mr. L. Lawlor, a Suva accountant, missed the Monterey at Pago Pago, ho felt that a stay of a month in that charming but isolated spot was not to his liking. Happily a 14ft yacht, the Viking, had been sold by its four owners and was about to >sail for Niue. Mr. Lawlor solved his difficulty by chartering her, and, with Captain Anderson in charge, started on the long sea voyage to Suva. It was a plucky thing to do, and only the urgency of his need to resume work in his office gave the adventure a satisfactory reason.
The yacht reached Suva safely on Tuesday, after a rather uncomfortable voyage.
