Sudden Death Of "Pat"

Savage

rE death occurred very suddenly, in Sydney, on January 13, of Mr. J. E.

Savage, known to all New Guinea residents as Superintendent of Stores, a position he occupied in the Territory service for very many years. He was 64 years old.

Mr. Savage was universally known as “Pat,” and, in the halcyon days of the old capital, no social function was con sidered complete without the attendance of the genial “Pat,” and “Mabs,” his equally popular wife. “There just can’t be any Rabaul any more without Pat Savage,” remarked an old resident, on learning of his death, Mr. Savage prob ably was most famous as a producer of amateur theatricals. His productions were almost innumerable; almost always successful: and they were a distinct and happy feature of life in Rabaul. Hun dreds will regret his untimely death.

Mr. Savage leaves a widow, and one daughter—Mrs. Nancy Parks.

District Officer J. W. Gittens recently won the Fiji Golf Club Championship, over 36 holes at the Suva links, by de feating his fellow officer J. N. Falvey 3 up and 2 to play. Falvey had previously won the Open Championship.
