Pukpuk Shooter in New Britain
RABAUL, March 24.
YOUNG ROWE, the youngest of the three brothers who own Ralum and “Queen Emma’s” former Kokopo interests, as well as Ablingi, on the South Coast, went out to shoot pukpuks (crocodiles) a few weeks ago, and has not been seen or heard of since.
He left Ablingi Island plantation in a single canoe alone, and against native ad vice—and only his gun has been found.
The theory is that he fell into the river (where his gun was found) as he was crossing a log, and the crocodiles got him.
The Government has made an investiga tion, but nothing definite about his dis appearance has been discovered.
