Note
inscription as follows:
In Memory of
Christopher
Robinson
Able Governor
Upright Judge
And honest Man
Died 20 June 1904
Aged 32 years
His Aim was to make New Guinea a Good Country
for White Men
This stone was here [laid?]
By the men of New [Guinea?]
In recognition of the [life?]
Of a man who was as [well-meaning?]
As he was unfortunate, and as
Kindly as he was courageous
Life is mostly froth and bubble
Two things stand like stone
Comfort in another's trouble
Courage in your own
