Well-Known Bougainville Residents.

This group was photographed in Numa Numa, Bougainville, New Guinea Territory, in July, 1932. Left to right they are:—Mr. J. M. Joyes, planter; Miss Hamilton, Mr. A. D. Thomson, manager of Numa plantation, a very successful enterprise owned by Buka Plantations, Ltd.; Mrs.

Thomson and Master Micky Thomson; Captain W. Hamilton, plantation-owner and trader, and one of the best-known men in the Solomon Islands; Mr. L. Macandrew, planter.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomson are known throughout the Islands for their hospitality. They have a charming residence at Numa Numa, almost buried in tropical flowers and overlooking the lagoon, and it is literally “open house” for everyone who comes along.
