British Consul Leaves Tahiti on Sick Furlough
From Our Own Correspondent.
PAPEETE, August 4.
DR. W. J. WILLIAMS, for many years H.B. Majesty’s Consul at Tahiti, left Papeete for San Francisco by the Maun ganui on July 17 for a few months’ leave of absence on account of ill-health.
At the beginning of the year, Dr. Wil liams contracted a severe chill and in fluenza, which made disastrous inroads upon his strength, so that he has been more or less an invalid ever since. It is satisfactory to learn by wireless that his condition is now improving daily and that we may hope to see him back again fully restored to health.
Mrs. Williams remained in Tahiti to take care of the doctor’s private inter ests; while for the time being the Con sulate is in charge of the Vice-Consul, Mr. S. Russell.
Mr. A. H. Wilson, Chief Surveyor in the Lands Department, Solomon Islands, returned to Tulagi by the August Malaita.
