Administrator.

MR. H. R. RABONE, at a meeting of the Australian Genealogists’ Society held in Sydney on August 25, paid an impressive tribute to Captain C. R.

Pinney, present Administrator of Nor folk Island.

Captain Pinney had been in charge of the affairs of the island for about twelve months, said Mr. Rabone, and during that period had proved himself to be the ideal Administrator. It was mainly due to his able guidance that Norfolk Island was now emerging from the depression and that the islanders were both happy and contented.

Mr. Rabone, who has been engaged in historical research on Norfolk Island for over two years, traced the history of Norfolk Island and Pitcairn Island from the days of the “Bounty” mutiny until recent times.
