Rarotonga, Feb. 27.
THE number of white people at the island) of Atiu (116 miles from Raro tonga) is three all told.
On January 28, one of them, Mr. J. A.
Campbell, manager of a small store, was reported by wireless to be critically ill.
That morning the R.M.S. “Maunganui” had arrived at Rarotonga from New Zealand and arrangements were made for her to make a special call at Atiu, en route to Papeete, the next port of call.
The sick man was taken aboard in a low condition and, although everything possible was done for him, he died the day following the ship’s arrival at Tahiti.
