Mr. John Bollons

Mr. John Bollons, Second Officer of the Government steamer “Hinemoa.” was born in London in 1862. When fourteen years of age, he went to sea, and suffered shipwreck in Foveaux-Straits, in the barque “England's Glory,” in 1881. Since that time, Mr. Bollons has been engaged in the New Zealand trade in almost every class of vessel. He has been in the Government service for six years, having joined the “Hinemoa” in 1893.
