From Our Own Correspondent.
TULAGI, April 30.
BLACKWATER is no respecter of persons, and it has carried off Mr, Charlie Cowan, a strong-, healthy looking New Zealander, part owner and skipper of the trading schooner “N’ava nora.”
It was Charlie who jumped into Tulagi harbour and saved the man and the maid of the “Comargo,” as men tioned in March P.I.M.
It was learned soon afterwards, with deep regret, that Mr. Cowan’s trading partner, Max Sarritch, had died on Santa Cruz, in the southern end of the group. The death of Mr. Cowan had been a great shock to him.
It is not yet known what will be done with the “Navanora.”
