Promotion of B. P.’s Norfolk Island Manager,
From Our Own Correspondent
Norfolk Is., July 2.
BY thelast “Morinda,” bound for Auck land. en route to Suva, Mr. Harry Weldon Grey, local manager for B.P’s., left us to take up the manage ment of their branch at Lautoka, his place here being: filled by a Mr. Timms, who comes, I think, from the Solomons.
Mr. Grey earned his promotion, for he opened both the N.I. stores for his company and built them up to be most formidable rivals to the stores already established, and a challenge to the very best their proprietors could do.
The auxiliary schooner, “Choiseul,” sank at her moorings in Apia Harbour last month. Efforts are being made to raise the schooner.
