CHALMERS, JAMES (1841-1901)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 809 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CHALMERS, JAMES (1841-1901) , Scottish missionary to New
Guinea
 , was born at Ardrishaig in Argyll. After serving in the Glasgow City Mission he passed through Cheshunt College, and, being accepted by the London Missionary Society, was appointed to Rarotonga in the
South
  Pacific in 1866. Here the natives gave him the well-known name "Tamate." After ten years' service, especially in training native evangelists, he was transferred to New
Guinea
 . In addition to his enthusiastic but sane missionary
work
 , Chalmers did much to open up the island, and, with his colleague W. G.
Lawes
 , gave valuable aid in the British annexation of the
south
 -
east
 
coast
  of the island. On the 8th of April 19o1, in company with a brother missionary, Oliver Tomkins, he was killed by cannibals at Goaribari Island. R. L. Stevenson has left on record his high appreciation of Chalmers's character and
work
 .
Chalmers's AutobiogPaphy and Letters were edited by Richard Lovett in 19oz, who also wrote a popular life called Tamale.
