“General Gordon”

Freak of Fiji Flood.

There is a story in this photograph.

The first railway engine to arrive in Lautoka, Fiji, for

the Colonial Sugar Refining Company in 1926, was condemned and was aban doned and permit ted gradually to bury itself in the sands. A cross marked the spot, bearing the words, ‘‘Here lies the General Gordon.”

The recent storm in Fiji swept away much of the sand hereabouts, and “General Gor don” made a bold and surprising re appearance. (Photo, by Vera E.
