De Beers, a Melbourne broker interested in shipping, came to Suva to try. and complete arrangements for the formation of a local company. There were, so report 'says, two Steamers of 2000 tons and 12 knots speed under offer for the sum of about £15,000, and it was suggested that a Company, should be formed in the colony with a capital of £20,000 to purchase the .steamers and inaugurate a service between Melbourne, Sydney, and Fiji. Mr. De Beers returned to Australia in the steamer Suva, and so far as the. public are aware no delinite decision has been come to in the matter. POET OP ONEHUNGA. >- ARRIVALS. RARAWA. s.s., 1072, W.
