A Seafarer At Two

This is Anthony Nicol (two-year-old son of the Colonial Secretary of Fiji, Mr.

J. F. Nicol) and his guardian, Miss D. E.

Dougall. Anthony re cently made the news in Australia when he and Miss Dougall called there in the freighter ‘Esk bank.’ They were en route to Fiji to visit Anthony’s father. Mr. Nicol re ceived his appoint ment to Fiji during the war and Anthony, then a few weeks old. remained in Trinadad with his grandfather.

Because the “Esk bank” does not carry passengers, Anthony and Miss Dougall were signed on as crew. As the mess boy, Anthony re ceived 1/- per month, and, it is reported, did his job well: helping to paint the ship, he created plenty of mess. —Block by courtesy of Sydney "Sun.”
