Nurse waiting on airfield

Nursing sisters worked in the Catholic Missions from 1880 onward and were among the first to teach and encourage standards of hygiene in the villages. Malakula was divided unofficially between the French and the British District Agents, with the southeastern half of the island being French and Catholic and the northwest being British and Protestant. The line between the two began around Norsup and ended in the middle of South West Bay. The Mewun living on the northern half of the Bay depended on the British for aid and justice while the French District Agent visits Seniang, the southern half, regularly to hold court and settle disputes.
