Residents of Tahiti will learn with re gret of the sudden death in Sydney of Mrs. Louise Floyd Murray, of Kowloon, Hong Kong, who had been evacuated with other women from Hong Kong, and had been one month in Australia when her untimely death occurred. Mrs.
Murray, whose Tahitian name was Manuura (the Bird of Paradise), came of an old Tahitian family, and, through her father, Edward Chapman, was re lated to almost every family in the is land. She was born in Swatow, China, where her father had been in the Gov ernment Service. An aunt of Mrs.
Murray was the late and renowned Lovaina Chapman, hostess of the Hotel Tiare in its palmy days, and friend of writers and poets. Mrs. Murray was an overseas member of the Polynesian Club of Sydney, and was chief guest at a wel come in the club-room, only three days before her death. She spoke at least five Cninese dialects, as well as English, French and Tahitian.
