Supremacy of British Shipbuilding Cited in New Talks
A British shipbuilding official praised long preparation and experience as essential to sustaining the industry against rivals. The talk covered coal and fuel limits, steamship energy needs, and the push to speed up grain handling with pneumatic and hand conveyors aboard floating plants. Tests showed discharging at 200 tons per hour with strong capacity, aided by pontoon-based tide work and deck-to-quay transfer.

Correspondence from Babinia on North Queensland crime
The Gadfly letter recounts a six year abstence from North Queensland and reports on Babinia where hotel thefts are rising. A Sunday night clean up at State Hotel sees £16 stolen from a sleeper and other rooms robbed between 3 and 6 am, with thieves described as bold and skilled. The writer laments lack of action and contrasts northern reports with southern papers, ending in a critical note from The Gadfly.
