New Church For Pitcairn

WORKING for 38 days, the men of Pitcairn Island have completely re built their church. The old building it replaces had been in use for 43 years.

The work was arduous, necessitating the cutting of the lumber on the far side of the island and bringing the sawn tim ber around to the anchorage in boats.

Mr. Marmaduke Simmons, of Levuka, Fiji, died in the Colony at the end of March. He was well known in Lomaiviti and to many people on Vanua Levu and Taveuni.
