Information About Rev. D.

C. Alley Wanted

THE general secretary of the Methodist Missionary Society of New Zealand, the Rev. A. H. Scrivin, writes: “I was interested to learn from your July issue that news has been received of at least two men who were taken prisoner at Rabaul about January, 1942.

“A few weeks after that time, the Rev.

D. C. Alley, Methodist Missionary, was taken prisoner at Teop, North Bougain ville, and was later reported by a native to have been seen with our New Britain

missionaries in the Duke of York Group under Japanese guard.

“It is possible that these missionaries were removed to Saigon, and we shall be very grateful if you could seek infor mation for us through your magazine. It is possible that a certain amount of news is now filtering through and some infor mation may be gathered.

“Mrs. Alley and her two small boys and my Mission Board would be grateful for any help in this direction.”
