Mr. Low told me that the Hennings, of German extraction, were the prominent people in the early days of Fiji. They were generous and capable businessmen - and real "gentlemen." One was the father of Mr. Henning, owner of Naitaumba Island, his mother being a high chiefess related to the mother of Ratu Pope, etc. Capt. Low's mother was a chiefteness of Ba, his father a planter, residing at Lakema in the cotton days and later in Levuka, at a time when that village was at war with Lavoni. Mr. Low pointed out the saddle in the ridge in which is located Nandarivater. Here is located a Sanatorium and a saw mill is under construction, the road leading up behind the Yangara estate of 6,000 cattle. Passed mouth of Ba at 9:30, the mill at Rarawai being visible in distance. Lautoka is situated on a flat extending north-west from the Thonca range.
