Young Son
From Our Own Correspondent.
PT. MORESBY, January 15.
YOUNG Dexter Giblin is spending his school holidays nominally in Port Moresby. A promising cricketer, he was included, though little more than 16 years of age, the team of sportsmen which went over to Wau. Getting there was easy; but his return was a different matter.
Many of the miners at Wau remembered Dr.
Giblin as medical officer at Samarai. Mrs. Giblin is remembered in the same way, and also for the plucky struggle she put up with an unsatisfactory claim on Edie Creek a couple of years ago. When young Dexter proposed to return to Port Moresby with the rest of the team, a good deal of opposition was offered. As a result he remained there as the guest of old friends and admirers of his parents, and returned to Moresby by ’plane on January 14.
