Thanks To “Golden Bear”
IT has been a subject of unfavourable comment in Sydney that nothing apparently has been done, by either the Administrator of New Guinea or the Australian Government, to formally thank the captain, officers, and crew of the American freighter Golden Bear, for
the splendid service they gave on Saturday, Sunday and Mon day, May 29-31, in assisting the people of Rabaul to escape from the eruptions.
The Administrator, it is reported, was “touring around’’, near the Golden Bear, on June 1. but evidently did not think it necessary to call and say a word of appreciation to Cap tain Olsen.
Captain Olsen and his officers probably got all the thanks they wanted in the outspoken gratitude of the people they assisted; but that does not explain or excuse the bad man ners of officialdom.

Fiji’s official Coronation repre sentatives in England Sir Henry Milne Scott and Ratu Sukuna, and (for the Defence forces) Major Joske and Ratu Cakobau—have been accorded many honours and much hospitality.
