NEW RED SEA PORT.
GERMANS HELPING ITALY. Captain C. C. Logan, who is on final leave at Melbourne before -retiring from the position of harbourmaster at Port Sudan, said recently that Italian expansion in North Africa following the conquest of Abyssinia, would result in a new and important seaport on the Red Sea. .. The Italians, Captain Logan said, seemed to have abandoned all developmental work at Massawa, the entry port of Eritrea. Assisted by Germans and by German shipping, they were converting the little native port of-Asal), 100 miles south of Massawa and nearer Abyssinia, into the principal Italian port in Eritea. In the meantime, Port Sudan was obtaining increased trade from Italy’s attempts at colonisation.
