s.s. Koombana
Consequent upon having touched an uncharted rock off Gantheaume Point, near Broome, this boat has proceeded east for docking. Immediately she has been repaired she will return to the Nor'-West trade. The Fremantle office of the A. S. Coy. states that the rumours to the effect that the boat was not returning to the trade are untrue. The striking of this rock but emphasises the necessity for a speedy and thorough survey of this coast, and also is another evidence of the need for a dock in W.A.
