Tahiti’S Governor Renews
From Our Own Correspondent PAPEETE, August 7.
THE coming of one of H.M. ships of the Australasian division to Tahiti is always a happy event. It has been especi ally so during the residence at Papeete of the present Governor.
His former post of duty was that of Administrator representing Prance in the New Hebrides where he made warm friend ships both among the British members of the Administration and the officers of the visiting warships.
The cruiser Dunedin which arrived at Papeete on August 5 has been the occasion for the meeting of old comrades and re newing friendships made in the New Hebrides.
Mr. J. W. Matthewson, general manager of the Union Steam Ship Co. of New Zea land Ltd., who had been in England since early this year, died on board the steamer Narbada on September 3, while returning to Auckland from India.
