PEARL DIVER PILOT IN
R.A.F.
Tahitian Shakes Hands
With King
A pearl diver from the tiny South Sea island of Tahiti, who has joined the R.A.F., recently met the King.
Aircraftman Anthony Eugene Cam- miade, the only Tahitian in H.M. Forces, was told by the King at Buckingham Palace: "I am proud to have such a man in the British forces."
"Only a few words and a hand shake," Cammiade said, but they made him the proudest and most nervous man in the world.. Nervous?
This from a man who for the last 10 years has been seeking adventure in every corner of the globe.
While at his training quarters "somewhere in England," Cammiade received a letter of
congratulation
from the King and a request that he should visit the Palace.
"Although the King was so charm- ing, I was overcome and could hardly speak," he said. "Many times before I had seen his picture and thought that one day I might see him go by in a procession, but never did I think that I should shake hands with him."
Cammiade was a pilot in the Sino- Japanese war. "But fighting in that war was mere child's play compared with the experience of meeting the
King."
For
years he had been a pearl diver, but left Tahiti because he wanted a change-and new thrills.

government will strongly protest,
