A boat with a party of the crew and passengers has not yet arrived at Levuka, and fears are entertained for their safety.

These Teas they sell in half pound and one pound packets ; also in five and ten pound tins, at the old prices, viz. : 2/-, 2/4, and 2/8 (all tins given in). They also hold large stocks of Indian and China Teas, which they can supply in any quantity at from 1/6 per ft.
