Note 49 — Chapter XXII
Reading edition
Wheels are no longer unknown in Levuka. A passable road having at length been constructed along the beach, a covered cab now plies to and fro between the furthest point of the settlement and the Government offices at Nasova, a distance of nearly two miles, carrying passengers at 6d. a-head. Among further symptoms of progress in 1880, I note the opening of a hotel on the upper Rewa River, and another in Taviuni; also the establishment of regular steam communication all over the group, as also with Tonga, New Zealand, and Sydney.
