From Our Own Correspondent PAPEETE, April 21.
WE have to report the death in Papeete, Tahiti, of Mr. Isidore Richmond, known to all as “Ititoro.”
On the eve of the departure of his wife and children for San Francisco, Ititoro climbed an alligator-pear tree, to gather some fruit for his family’s journey. He slipped, and fell to the ground, breaking his neck and both legs. He died next day without regaining consciousness.
The Rev. J. H. Stewart Hurse, BA, with Mrs. Hurse and their small child, will proceed to Ambrym in the New Hebrides, about May next, to take up missionary
work there for the Presbyterian Church, in succession to the Rev. W. P. Paton, who retired from that field at the end of 1948.
