MAILS HELD UP
ORFORD CONSIGNMENT FLOOD-BOUND POSITION AT FORREST ADELAIDE, Friday. Seventeen tons of mails for all the Australian States and New Zealand, which arrived from England by the Orford at Fremantle last Tuesday week, have since been held up at Forrest, on the trans-continental railway, which is flooded. The postal authorities are now trying to arrange to have mails taken from Forrest to Cook by airplanes and thence overland by train to f.heir destinations. It is quite unlikely that they will reach Adelaide before Wednesday. Many of the marooned passengers are returning to Perth. Some of them are at the end of their resources and are living in the railway carriages.
