"German Harry"

p. 27 · Read in the full issue

CAN anyone supply information about “German Harry”—otherwise, a Dan ish sailor named Captain S. Christ ensen, who was well known in the Central and South Pacific some 20 or 30 years ago. The enquiry comes from a New Guinea resident, who has been asked for information by a resident of Copenhagen.

It is believed that Captain Christensen died in Sydney in 1913; but Somerset Maugham claims to have met him in 'the Pacific some time after the Great War.

If anyone can supply a photograph of “German Harry” it would be gratefully received. Anyone who has information to give would be conferring a favour by writirig to the editor of the “Pacific Is lands Monthly”, or direct to Mr. Peter Jensen, C/0., Post Office, Bulolo, New Guinea.
