Born at Edinburgh in 1877, Captain Mc- Culloch came to the Islands shortly after the turn of the century. Off and on, since 1910, he was connected with the Adminis tration, his first post being in that year as R.A. for Aitutaki. During the War he returned to the sea and for a time commanded the well-known schooner Doris Crane, trading out of ’Frisco.
Back again in Cook Is., he held the post of local manager of the C.I.T.C.’s Mauke branch, which he later relinquished to run his own plantation on Aitutaki. Rejoin ing the Administration in 1934, he was appointed to Manihiki, where his death occurred.
Mr. R. A. Colyer, of Messrs. Colyer, Watson and Co. Ltd., of Sydney, who recently arrived in Rabaul by the Malaita, joined the Friderun there for the East.
He will later journey to the United States of America and Europe.
