LOST CARGO FOUND
SYDNEY, September 2. Tobacco, cigars, and cigarettes valued at £12,000, reported to have been stolen from the freighter Alabaman in Sydney harbour, have been • received in Melbourne by the original consignees. The cargo control authorities in Melbourne, at the request of the Sydney office of the central cargo control committee, who had been investigating the reported theft, stated that the Netherlands East Indies navy had notified that the cases had arrived safely by the freighter Carolinian. An executive member of the central cargo control committee, Mr. Norman Kingsbury, said it was incomprehensible to him that the cargo could have been transhipped from one ship to another and been delivered in Melbourne while it was reported lost from a ship in Sydney harbour.
