THE LINE RE-CROSSED
RENOWN’S HOMEWARD TRIP
(Received June 7,2 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 7
A wireless message from the Renown states that Whit Monday was notable lor the. re-crossing of tHe line, which, however, was not celebrated according to sea law. Flying fish are messengers of Neptune, and by a coincidence one arrived on the deck at the exact moment the equator was crossed, hut killed itself against a gun turret, so that any message from the monarch remained undelivered.
The monsoon continues to make conditions uncomfortable, hut the Duke and Duchess are both well.
