Sudden Death At

Nauru.

Mrs. Catherine Lamb

IT is with regret that we record the death of Mrs. Catherine L. E.

Lamb, which occurred on Novem ber 15, at Nauru Island, after a short illness of three days.

She was the wife of Mr. Arthur T.

Lamb, an old employee of the British Phosphate Commissioners; daughter of Mr. Edward Colpitts Robinson, F.G.S., etc., of Westcliff-on-Sea, England; grand-daughter of the late Rev. Dr.

Edward Jewett Robinson, M.D., etc., of Weston, Bath, England, and niece of the late Right Hon. John Alex. Robin son, LL.D., etc., Newfoundland.

The funeral was conducted the same afternoon, the first portion of the ser vice being held at her home, after which the coffin was escorted to the cemetery by the staff of the British Phosphate Commission, where it was met by the Administrator, the Govern ment staff, the head chiefs, and a large number of natives. The service was conducted by Rev. R. Hanmah, resident Protestant missionary.

Mrs. Lamb first arrived in Nauru in Dec., 1917, and during the 15 years she was there she was always active in promoting or assisting in anything which was conducive to the enjoyment of the residents, more especially the single members of the community. She took a keen interest in sport, and was a member of the tennis club the whole time she was there. Her bright and happy smile will be sadly missed by her many friends on Nauru.

Mrs. Lamb is survived by her hus band, two sons (Arthur Maurice and Bob), and her daughter Marjorie.
