Calling Charlie Boti
p. 48 · Read in the full issue
rERE recently died in London, at the age of 89, Mr. T. C. T. Potts. He left over £12,000; and, after making provision for certain relations, he left a portion of his estate to go eventually, upon trust, to his son, “known as Charlie Boti, last heard of in the Island of Tarawa, in the South Seas.”
Mr. Potts left the South Pacific about 1900, and he appears to have lived for several years in and around the Line Islands. His relations, until the publica tion of his will, had not the least sus picion that he had a son—he was re garded as a bachelor. It is not known whether or not he was legally married: but it is presumed that the mother of “Charlie Boti’ was a Marshall or Gilbert Islands woman.
Does any “PIM” reader know anything of Charlie Boti, of Tarawa? If so, he should communicate with Brig.-General Frederick Potts, Imperial Hotel, Barn staple, England. The latter’s lawyers are looking for Charlie Boti.
