Death Of Mr. E. Corlette
p. 10 · Read in the full issue
Mr, EWAN CORLETTE, who had been for many years a planter at Bush man’s Bay, Malekula, New Hebrides, died recently, aged about 70. He was a well-educated man—his father was a high dignitary of the Church of England—but he elected to make his home in a remote part of the Pacific, and he does not appear to have left the Condominium for some 30 years. He took a keen interest in public affairs, and his incisive, and often acidulated comments were a feature of articles which he contributed occasion ally to the “Pacific Islands Monthly.” He married an Islands woman, and his daughter was trained as a nurse at one of the Sydney hospitals.
