How “Handsome Harry” Died

p. 26 · Read in the full issue

versions you are receiving of the death of ‘Handsome Harry’ in Port Moresby many years ago threaten to fill a book (writes Mr. J. E. Nixon-Westwood, from London). But I stick to my ver sion because, had Judge Herbert known that Louis had gone a-gunning for Harry, his verdict would not have been man slaughter. If only Tom McCrann could tell the story I am sure he would con firm what I have said—because on that occasion I saw McCrann’s stepson racing up and down the street. However, old ‘Mac’ is gone. His wife was a splendid woman, and they both lived lives which are in every way a shining example to the later generation.”
