Aitutaki Resident Agent Retires From Cook Is. Service

rrom Our Own Correspondent.

Rarotonga, Jan. 16.

AFTER 18 years’ service in the Cook Group as Resident Agent, Captain A. A. Luckham, C.8.E., has retired on account of eye trouble. His first appointment was to the island of Aitu-

taki where he served for three years.

The next six years were spent on Niue Island, and then he went back to Aitu taki.

When Captain Luckham left Aitutaki last month he was given a royal fare well by the whole of the people. The band was on parade; the school child' ren turned out in full force; and in fact everyone on the island was at the wharf to say “Acre ra, kia manuia korua” (good-bye, and good luck) to Captain Luckham and Mrs. Luckham.

Mr. E. A. Reid is acting as R.A. on Aitutaki until Mr. A. V. P. Ford, a Roturua barrister, arrives from New Zealand to take up duties on the is land.

Captain and Mrs. A. A. Luckham.
