Mr. and Mrs. Graham Mil-field, referred to in the aeroplane crash, visited Gisborne on their honeymoon early in the present year, the bridegroom being the son of a local architect. Mrs. Mirfield was the daughter of a well-known Rabaul trader, and possessed a sparkling personality which won her immediate popularity among a wide circle of her husband's fi'iends. Mr. Graham Mirfield went to Rabaul as engineer to Carpenters, Ltd., later becoming manager of the firm's factories. He recently took up land. A message received last night from Rabaul stated that an aeroplane, owned by the Rabaul Airways Syndicate, crashed at Kokopo, New Ireland.

Duncan, formerly of the Royal Air Force, was slightly injured.
