KNOWN IN NEW ZEALAND
One of Victims of Disaster (Hy Telegraph— Presa Aasaciation.j AUCKLAND, March 1. Mr J. Westray, a member of Lloyds, London, who lost his life in the Stinson aeroplane disaster is believed to have been a son of Mr J. B. Westray, of Westray and Company, freight, passenger and insurance brokers to the N.Z. Shipping Coy. Ltd. Mr Westray was • in the insurance department of the firm and recently visited Auckland in the course of a business trip to New Zealand. At the time of his death, he was en route to Sydney in order to return to the Dominion by tho Awatea. He had planned to transact further business in Auckland before leaving by the Rotorua for England. Mr Westray was apparently under 30 years of age and exporters and othera with whom he came into contact formed a very high opinion of his knowledge and ability. Although his personal connection witl New Zealand was slight, those who . met him sineerely regret that an aeJ
cidental death should have cut short what was evidently a most promislng career.
