Deceased was formerly of Nelson College, and was engaged by the Grand Junction Railway Company, Cape Colony. He also served in the Boer War. Writes a London correspondent under date July 17th:—Mr P. H. Wood (Tauranga),formerly a resident in the Wairarapa, has just returned from a tour through Devonshire and Cornwall. He purposes spending the few days left at his disposal prior to returning to New Zealand in visiting some of the English seaside resorts. There is not much in the way of sight-seeing in London that he has missed. His energy is a good advertisement for New Zealand.
