...
PROJECTED DEPARTURES.

...
notes:
Minilya looked like the only boat that Tom Ronan could have caught, and a Mr. Ronan unaccompanied among the passengers.
These 'projected departures' are not the only options for travel east;
Orient liner R.M.S. Orotava, dep Fremantle 17th arr Port Adelaide Dec 21st looks the best option.
