Great-grandson of a Pioneer

p. 32 · Read in the full issue

Our Thursday Island correspondent records an interesting event: The arrival of new babies on Thurs day Island does not usually merit at tention in the press, but we cannot allow the birth of the first great-grand son of Frank Jardine to pass unher alded in a paper devoted to the inter ests of Torres Straits. The newcomer, a lusty specimen of the tropic-born Anglo-Saxon, is the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Vidgen and is the first of the fourth generation of our leading pioneer family.
