STEAMER SERVICE TO NORFOLK ISLAND
INTERESTS NEGOTIATE FOR SHIP
(United Press Association)
AUCKLAND, July 4
A direct steamer service between Auckland and Norfolk Island and Noumea (New Caledonia) is at present under consideration by interests which are stated to be located in Auckland and Sydney. Negotiations are in train for obtaining a suitable ship and it is likely that the Hinemoa, which has had previous experience of the Norfolk Island trade and was for many years a familiar figure in coastal shipping as the Government lighthouse steamer, will be the vessel chosen.
