H.M.S. Nelson arrived at Levuka from Suva on July 9. Information is to hand from Naturi, the chief town on the Makuata coast, that that place was the scene of a murder. The victim was the husband of a woman who is said to have formed improper connexion with another man, and her paramour is accused of the murder. He was arrested by a native officer.
The N.Z.L. and M.A. Co. have accepted tenders for the erection of receiving stores at Levuka. The big sugar mill at Eewa has began work again.
