MR. F. ANTHONSEN, of Whawatane, N.Z., writes, in reply to the inquiry for “German Harry”, published in October, to say that in 1918, in Papeete, Tahiti, he met Captain Harry Christen sen. The latter was a Dane, a big, tall man, about 65. and probably was the man sought for.
Another correspondent, a planter in the Trobriand Islands, says that “Ger man Harry” was for long a boat builder in Sydney, where he died in 1913.
It would appear that there were two notable sailors named Christensen in the Pacific about the same time.
The details have been sent to the in quirer, who will forward them to Den mark.
Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Andrew arrived in Sydney by the December “Macdhui” from Port Moresby, Papua. Formerly chairman of the Panua district for the Methodist Mission, Mr. Andrews has now resigned and will not return to the Ter ritory.
