P.I. Club
A RECORD gathering of members at *r*- tended the Christmas function of the Pacific Islands Club at the Hotel Carlton on December 8. In addition to the guests of honour, there were a number of dis tinguished Islands visitors, including Judge R. T. Gore, of Port Moresby, Papua.
A series of fine lantern slides of Tonga, shown by Mr. H. A. Rabone, were ex plained with interesting and humorous comment by Hon, Ata.
In an eloquent and moving address, Mr. Jack Hides told graphically of his recent expedition in Central Papua, and described the amazing journey down to the coast, with his party starved and his companion David Lyall seriously ill from beri-beri. He paid fitting tribute to the way Lyall had lived, and died.
The next meeting of the Pacific Islands Club will be held in February.
