(Received December 14, 11.45 a.m.) DARWIN, This Day.
The Empire f.ying-boat Coorong, which was blown by a gale on to rocks shortly after alighting, is understood to have been insured fo. its full value. It will be dismantled where it lies and shipped to England to be reconstructed Although Darwin postal officials refuse to make available the amount of mails aboard the Coorong, the percentage of damaged mails and the addresses of the consignment, it is known that the mails suffered little damage and are consigned mostly to Brisbane, Sydney, and New Zealand.
