THE GREAT "N.D.L"
CHAIRMAN OF DIRECTORS COMING TO
.HONGKONG, "
Herr Phillip Heineken, chairman of directors of the Nonh German Lloyd, Bremen, arrived in Sydney on 5th alt by the Melbourne express, Herr Heloeken is spending about a month in Australis, inquiring into the condition of the company's trade generally, alter which he will proceed to China. The company's bisais ¡ying at Circular Quay were decorated with bunting *yesterday in honour of Herr Heinezeo's visit to
Sydney.
"Yes, Mr. Heineken will see you. Take the lift to the second-for-No, 15"-
The reporter took the advice (and the lift), and was admitted to Herr Heineken's sitting- raum at the Hotel Australia, Castlereagnstreet, Sydacy.
The chaliman of directors of the famous German Shipping Company is naturally a busy man, and his expression at first was as one who should say "Can't you sen `I'm busy!" but a promise to waste as little time as possible resulted in an interview in which a good deal of ground was covered.
