MASTER MARINER TO RETIRE
CAPTAIN G. A. GREY
(Special to The Times) WELLINGTON, December 16. Thirty years’ service with the Union Steam Ship Company, Limited, is the record of Captain G. A. Grey, who is retiring because of ill-health. Captain Grey’s last command was the intercolonial steamer Kurow, from which he retired in June on extended sick leave. Captain Grey was born in Auckland, and is 54 years of age. He served in various New Zealand coastal steamers as well as in intercolonial sailing vessels for a number of years, including a period with the Northern Steamship Company, before he joined the Union Company in 1910. He was promoted master of the Flora in the Islands trade, in 1923, but later transferred to the coastal and then the intercolonial trade, with various commands. Captain Grey will live at his farm at Manurewa.
