Professor Macmillan Brown, of Christchurch, was a passenger by the s.s. Minindi from the Solomon Islands to-day. Ho stated that it appears to be a fact tbpt within the' last few months at least one party of Japanese visited the islands in a cutter. They said that they had been blown out of their course, but the explanation is regarded as thin. The general impression is that they were looking for suitable sites for rubber plantations.
