SHELLS DUMPED AT SEA
Endeavour’s Task Completed (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, August 2 The Royal New Zealand Navy’s hard-working supply ship Endeavour put into Wellington at the week-end for a “breather” after a hazardous job well done. She has spent a lot of the last three weeks at sea in varying weather dumping large quantities of obsolete artillery shells for the Army. Some of the ammunition was loaded in Wellington, and some at Lyttelton. It was dumped without incident, although the weather played up at times.
But the Endeavour’s “breather” will be a short one. She sails on Tuesday for Suva. On the way she will drop supplies for the meteorological station at Raoul Island in the Kermadecs.
