From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, Oct. 29.
A TRAGEDY with unusual features occurred in Suva on October 17, when Mrs. Norah Clarke, widow of Mr. W.
Clarke, was knocked down by a car driven by Mr. E. Gibbes, a well-known resident of Suva, and fatally injured.
On September 8, Mr. Clarke, who was engineer on the small coasting motor vessel Tui Kauvaro, was lost overboard at sea at night, when the vessel was a few miles off Suva harbour, and the widow was left with four young children to support. Now they are left - without any support at all, and the deepest sym pathy of all residents has been extended to them.
Since the accident the driver of the car was charged with manslaughter, and with driving a car in a manner dangerous to the public.
