Dead
NO one yet has thrown any light upon the fate of the few European civi lians who were in Manus when the Jap invasion occurred in 1942, and who completely disappared. The best known of them was Mr. Munster, who owned a large coconut plantation.
The following members of the Lieben zell Mission, who were in Manus, were last heard of in 1943: Mr. and Mrs. Doepke.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Gareis and child.
Sister M. Molnar.
It has been reported, through native channels, that all*these people were sent away in a ship by the Japs. There seems little doubt now that they are all dead.
