NOTABLE AUTHOR
VISITS WELLINGTON.
[By Telegraph, Per Press Association.]
WELLINGTON, December 29
The Australian author Dale Collins together with Mrs Collins arrived at Wellington on the “City of Delhi.” Roth are technically members of the crew, Collins being assistant steward and Mrs Collins stewardess. But their stewardship is almost theoretical and both give a pleasant account of it. The “City of Delhi”’ takes them into many corners of the world and Collins, in a well equipped stateroom, is busily engaged writing short stories and other tasks. He is still a young man and began his career as a special writer on the Melbourne “Herald.” He was invited ten years ago to write the Story of the cruise of the private yacht “Spiejacks” and after the publication “Sea Tracks of the Spiejacks” he wrote the novel “Ordeal, “The Hover”, “The Sentl.menatalists”, “Vanity Under the Sun”, “Idolators”, and his last “Rich and Strange”, which has not yet reached New Zealand.
• Rich and Strange” is being filmed by the British International Films. Other works have been placed on the screen by American Companies.
