Andersen Of Tulagi
From Our Own Correspondent.
TULAGI, March 20.
ANOTHER well-known Islands identity passed away in March, in the person of Mr. J. W. Andersen, engineer at Messrs. W. R. Carpenter and Co.’s Tulagi workshops.
Mr. Andersen was born in Sweden, where he learned engineering, particularly in re lation to crude oil engines. He came to the islands as engineer for Carpenter’s, and was well-known in the Solomons and Mandated Territory as chief engineer, spending most of his time on the “Duran bar.” About seven years ago he took charge of the Tulagi engineering shop.
About a year ago symptoms of tuber culosis appeared and he was ordered South by the doctor. A few months after his return the tubercular symptoms recurred, aggravated by kidney trouble, and he went to Tulagi Hospital where he died.
