The British survey-ship Sealark, which the advance party of the INiew Zealand Expeditionary Force found at Suva when it called there on its way to Samoa, had been surveying in the more northerly islands when the war broke out. Charts had been made or the new ground that appeared as the result of the recent great volcanic eruption at Ambryn. A ship with a wireless equipment had been in. the vicinity of the islands when war broke out, and had intercepted German wireless messages, which, though coded, seemed to indicate that trouble ot some kind was afoot. The news was conveyed to the Sealark, which lost no time in sailing for Suva.
