He was an oil company man in Raba in 1937, and he got more or less severe mixed up in the eruption that the occurred. Thirteen years later, when Nt Guinea’s next serious eruption took plai at Mount Lamington, HSW was so do to it that he could smell the sulphur ae taste the dust. On both occasions Jud “Monty” Phillips was Deputy Adminr trator, and deeply involved in the com quent administrative activity.
