Nukualofa, Sept. 14.

THE Governor of Fiji and High Com rflissioner for the Western Pacific (Sir Harry Luke, KCMG) recently made an unofficial visit to Nukualofa by flying-boat to offer his personal condo lence and sympathy to Queen Salote on her bereavement in the death of Prince Consort Tugi, CBE.

This gesture, which is one of the many human touches and considerations that men like Sir Harry have gone out of their way to show in the administration of

native races throughout the British Em pire. was warmly appreciated both by the Queen herself and the chiefs and people of Tonga.
