A Marquette on its first journey climbed Buckland Gap in top gear, the gap four miles south of Bworth on the road to Gapetead Victoria. The six to eight percent grade climb tested Buick’s new 1930 Marquette with a 212.84 cubic inch engine, Bendix brakes, and unit power plant. Tests showed strong hill climbing, acceleration, and speed with a five passenger sedan carrying 450 pounds, reaching 25 mph on the 11.6 percent grade.

Isolated Kermadec Islands Home to Castaways and Wildlife
The Kermadecs are described as a remote group between New Zealand and Pacific isles. Early settlers and naturalists visited Curtis and nearby islets, noting scarce fresh water, volcanic terrain, and a makeshift depot roofed with tar. The islands host pohutukawa trees, native birds, and occasional garfish. A New Zealand family once tried to settle, but left after decades. A local incident recounts a girl’s arm injury from a busa fish, highlighting the archipelago’s perilous coastal life.
