Tulagi, Jan. 23.

A PLEASANT and impressive ceremony took place at Tulagi, 8.5.1., soon after the arrival of M.V. “Malaita” from Australia, on January 17.

Before a large assembly of residents, and officers and passengers from the “Malaita”, His Honour the Resident Commissioner (Mr. P. N. Ashley, CM.G.) after inspecting a guard of native troops, invested Mr. Donald Mackinnon with the M.B.E.

His Honour referred to the valuable service rendered by Mr. Mackinnon as a non-official member of the Advisory Council, and offered congratulations on the honour conferred by His Majesty.
