In July 1998 the coastal town of Aitape in Papua New Guinea was struck by a tsunami. Aitape is in the Diocese of New Guinea where the Patrician Brothers have been teaching since Brother Rodan Bergin and his council in 1967 agreed to the request of Bishop Ignatius Doggett to provide personnel to teach in St. Ignatius High School. 
The tsunami ö a huge tidal wave ö destroyed land and buildings and was responsible for loss the lives of hundreds of men, women and children. The devastation, at the time, was on such a scale that it is almost impossible to comprehend. The response by the rest of the world, especially from fellow New Guineans and Australia showed the people of Aitape that a magnificent Human Spirit exists within the world community.

Caritas Australia ö previously known as Australian Catholic Relief ö launched an Appeal and as a result was able to rebuild the much-needed Schools, Teachersâ Houses and Health Centres. One of the areas undergoing redevelopment was at a village called Olbrum. This was the new site chosen by the people of Sissano whose coastal village was completely devastated. Bishop Austen Crapp OFM and Sir Michael Somare, a former Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, officially opened the rebuilt complex on Thursday April 27.

My name is Jim Eves, son of Thomas Raymond [ÎBlueyâ] Eves a lifetime resident of Glebe. My brother Ray and I followed Dadâs footsteps and were educated by the Brothers at Forest Lodge. I joined the Patrician Brothers in 1961 and was professed in 1964 taking the name Brother Raymund. I remained a member of the Congregation until the end of 1977. During the years 1969-1972 I was appointed to teach at St. Ignatius high School, Aitape PNG. I thoroughly enjoyed my appointment to Aitape where I gained a great insight into another culture and another people.

I now am with Caritas Australia and in an extraordinary twist of fate I was asked to be one of the representatives at the official Opening at Olbrum . Caritas Australia is the Catholic agency for overseas aid and development and helps people help themselves, regardless of race, religion or political beliefs. Caritas is a Latin word that means love, compassion and charity.

The following is my record of the Opening and the situation as it is now in Aitape almost 18 months after the tsunami caused such devastation:-

On Thursday April 27 last, St Michaelâs Community School at Olbrum was Blessed by Bishop Austen Crapp and opened by Sir Michael Somare. Sir Michael was flown in by helicopter from Port Moresby.

St. Michaelâs was rebuilt at Olbrum for the people of Sissano. They moved across the lagoon to the more protected hills of Olbrum, the original site chosen by German Missionaries when they arrived at the end of the 19th century. This new site is only accessible by small water-craft. This meant that the party of VIPs going to the Opening had to be transported in dinghies that were donated by various organisations to help in the rebuilding process. The Caritas representatives were transported in a 23ft fibre-glass boat powered by a 50HP outboard motor.

We boarded the boat in the Aitape River and our skipper had to negotiate the surf to get the boat into the open sea. Without a life jacket in sight, we sped up the coast for about one and a half-hours before  turning into Sissano Lagoon. On reaching the western side of the lagoon we entered the swamp and travelled a few kilometres further to the foot of the hills where St Michaelâ Community school was rebuilt. While travelling through the swamp we had to crouch in the boat to avoid overhanging trees and branches. Owing to the tide the water level was very low. These factors had made it impossible to bring the building materials into the area by boat.

When we disembarked we were greeted by a welcoming committee and introduced to the community and Sir Michael Somare. We were led in procession behind a group of grade 6 students and flower girls who were performing a traditional dance. It was extremely hot and humid and by the time we reached the dais we were grateful for the makeshift grandstand that provided us with shade.

The ceremony commenced with the Blessing of the complex by Bishop Austen Crapp followed by the Opening by Sir Michael. These ceremonies were interspersed by traditional dances, called SINGSING. Then followed a long list of speakers who thanked all those responsible for the rebuilding of St. Michaelâs.

The enormity of the task confronting Caritas representatives based in Aitape has to be seen to be believed. Having visited the area and gauged the isolation of the site chosen gave us some insight. All materials used, such as steel bonded sheeting, steel trusses and cement had to be flown in by helicopter. Due to the size of the material, a Russian helicopter was used to bring in the material. This of course escalated the cost of the school but there was no other way it could have been completed. For the people of Sissano this has been a wonderful project. It has enabled them to start again and rebuild their future so cruelly stolen from them in the tsunami of 1998. Of course this is not the only school that Caritas has been involved in reconstructing.

The changes since 1972

The changes I observed were many and cover all aspects of life in Papua New Guinea. However the weather has not changed. It was still as hot and humid, as it was in 1972 with the difference that I am now 30 years older. The first thing to strike me was the extent of the security measures. In Port Moresby, we stayed in a motel that had 24 hour security and cyclone fencing topped by razor wire. Another saddening factor was the obvious poverty that exists throughout the country. This poverty exists at government level. An example; at Aitape the teachers have not received any salary this year. One teacher told me he received his salary for 1999 in a lump sum in December last year. While there, the National Parliament was forced to close for the want of a quorum. When a country is struggling as is New Guinea, it needs the commitment of its leaders to carry it through the troubled times.
I was lucky to catch up with a good number of my ex-students who have returned to Aitape to help their people. Among them are the Manager/District Education, District School Inspector, Secretary/Catholic Education, Manager/Diocesan Office and a few who have returned home to retire. Looking at a couple of them they have aged dramatically due to the weather conditions and the malaria factor, which is worsening, as time goes by. It is a harsh climate and as one person said to me, most people who have lived in the tropics for an extended period of time work to about 60 per cent of their potential.

The people of Aitape have not changed and are as welcoming today as they were 30 years ago. I was most fortunate that my command of ãPidginä had not forsaken me but returned very easily. The ability to speak their language seemed more important now than it did before. I noticed this especially amongst my ex-students. Before they always spoke English, whereas now they automatically broke into pidgin. In all, it is a much poorer country and it seems the struggles are still ahead of them. 

It is hoped the work of Caritas in rebuilding the schools will help in no small way in assisting the people of Aitape to realise their hopes and dreams. There is no better place to start than with the young and through education. Education is the key to the success of any nation and Papua New Guinea is no exception.

Editorâs Note: We thank Jim most sincerely for his contribution. When we were young there was always an open door and a warm welcome at the Eves. It was great, we were always there! We wish Jim every success in his important work with Caritas.

The Superior General, Brother Philip Mulhall and the Vicar General, Brother Jerome Ellens are scheduled to arrive Sydney May 28. On June 4 they commence a visit to Papua New Guinea and Thursday Island before returning to Sydney on June 24.  We know their program is tight, but should the occasion present itself, be sure to give both a very warm welcome.

In March this year the writer received a letter from Brother Augustine Grealy contributing to the history of the Patrician Brothers in Australia. One piece of information read; 

There was a Brother Ryan who left the brothers and had a hotel on Broadway on the corner of the brewery on the left-hand side going out to Glebe. Just remembered ö Hotel Clare. Remember my father telling me that when Brother Ryan died he one of the largest funerals in Sydney at that time.

What a gem this was! 

If the funeral had been as large as Gus had written, then surely it would be the subject of a report in The Freemanâ Journal? Indeed, there was a full-page report with photo - alas, too dark to reproduce. 

THE FREEMANâS JOURNAL                                         15 July 1905 

By the death of Mr. Eugene J. Ryan, J.P., of George-street West, Sydney, which occurred on last Friday, (July 7), the Irish cause in New South Wales has lost one of its staunchest and most uncompromising advocates, one whose place it will be hard to fill. His death came as a painful shock to the community, the genial Eugene having won the respect and affection of all classes. He was a man of fine physique and enjoyed the best of health till within a week of his death, when he received an apoplectic stroke. Drs. McCarthy and Warren were immediately called in, but despite their skill, and the most assiduous and careful nursing by his devoted wife and two Sisters [The Little Company of Mary] of Lewisham Hospital Mr Ryan never completely rallied and quietly passed away on Friday eve. His brother (Brother Bernard Ryan of the Patrician Congregation) was also in constant attendance on him. During his illness he was attended by Fathers Furlong, Comaskey and Flemming of St. Benedictâs of which he was a devoted parishioner.

The late Mr. Ryan was born 41 years ago in the home of his ancestors, Turraheen House, [Parish of Clonoulty, near Cashel], Co. Tipperary. He was educated by his uncle, Jeremiah Ryan, who had charge of the local National school and who turned out some brilliant scholars. When fifteen years of age he entered the famous college conducted by that great teaching Order, the Patrician Brothers at Mountrath. He went through his scholastic course with great distinction, having passed all examinations and taken a University degree. He came to Australia in 1884 and followed the teaching profession in Maitland, Armidale and for just twelve years in Sydney, where he conducted with great success the University   College in Cleveland-street [on the corner of Regent-street]. He made a great number of friends not only amongst his scholars, whom he turned out in great numbers, but also amongst parents and friends. 

It may be said that he never lost a friend or made an enemy. He was a fluent linguist, being conversant with the principal European languages and was thoroughly well versed in the classics. He was also a sound mathematician ö qualities rarely found united in one man. As a facile exponent of the Gaelic language, he spoke and wrote the ancient Irish tongue with ease and so interested was he in this language that he conducted free classes at his college and many students and admirers of Gaelic will now miss his enthusiasm in the cause. He was also an ardent musician and a good performer on several instruments. He had a grand collection of almost every piece of Irish music ever published. During his residence in Sydney he took part in all movements for the welfare of the land of his birth. He was an enthusiastic patriot and his sympathy and purse was always at the service of those who wished to forward the interests of Ireland. As one of the organisers and executive of the â98 memorial movement which was brought to such a successful issue, he did excellent work. He wrote the Gaelic inscriptions on the monument and it was only last St. Patrickâs Day that he might have been seen in the midst of a large circle of enthusiastic friends, including Bishop Doyle of Lismore, Mr. W.H.K. Redmond, M.P. and Dr. O'Donnell, Melbourne, and his old friend Mr. J.G. OâConnor (Newcastle), examining the inscriptions. His home in George-street West [Ryanâs Hotel] has ever been the rendezvous of Irish Nationalists and what Eugene Ryan did not know of any national movement in progress was not worth knowing. As is well known he organised a very successful picnic to Mr. William OâBrien, M.P., when he visited these shores a few years ago. He was one of the delegates to the Emmet Centenary in   Melbourne. Often in matters connected with Sydney there is many a man who owes his present position to the energy and influence of Eugene Ryan, ever ready to assist his fellow man in distress, his 
charity was proverbial and there is scarcely a conventual establishment in Sydney that knows not of his generosity.
The great concourse of people that attended or viewed his funeral bore genuine testimony to the esteem and respect in which Mr. Ryan was held. The funeral was considered the largest that ever entered the Waverley Cemetery. 

Before the remains were removed from the house, a short service was conducted by the Rev. Father Furlong, Administrator of St. Benedictâs assisted by the Very Rev. Dean Slattery, Rev. Fathers P. A. Comaskey and M.A. Flemming. The street in the vicinity of Mr. Ryanâs late residence was crowded and when the cortege started there was at least 4000 persons present and this number was considerably augmented en route to the cemetery, where 5000 were present.

The chief mourners at the obsequies in the death chamber were: Mrs. Ryan (widow), Rev. Brother Bernard (brother), Mrs. Harrington (cousin), Miss McGrath (cousin), Mrs. Phillips (cousin), Mrs. W.Q. Ryan (sister-in-law), Mr and Mrs. J. English (cousins), J. Harrington (cousin), Sister Rosarie, J.G. OâConnor, X.T. Dwyer, Sergeant OâBrien, J.J. Hayes (ãEvening Newsä), J. W. Walshe, P. Costello (brother-in-law).

THE FUNERAL

The members of the different societies in regalia marched immediately in front of the hearse and presented a fine appearance. The Irish National Foresters, of which Mr. Ryan was an honorary life member, Hibernians, Australasian Holy Catholic Guild, St. Vincent de Paul Society, United Irish League and New South Wales Hurling Association. When nearing the cemetery, the Eastern Suburbs branches of the A.H.C. Guild joined in the procession. 
The coffin, which was of cedar with silver fittings, was covered with beautiful wreaths. 

There were over 350 vehicles in the procession and among the general members of the public present were:- Dr. C. W. McCarthy, Dr. W.E. Warren, Mr. E.W. OâSullivan MLA, J. McNeill MLA, P.H. Sullivan MLA, Peter Grealy, Rev. Brother Boniface [Carroll] (Superior Holy Cross College) Brother Benignus [Kealy] (Holy Cross College) Brother John Leahy [sic - should read Lee], Brother Alphonsus Eviston, Brother Baptist McGrath, (Redfern),··[far too many to mention in TGS]

The route of the procession was up George-street West, past St. Benedictâs Church into Abercrombie, Banks [now Meagher], Regent  and Cleveland streets [no doubt to pass Eugeneâs University College] to Randwick Road [now Anzac Parade] and thence into Centennial Park to Waverley. All along the route [a distance of some four miles] the streets were lined by thousands of spectators who reverently bared their heads when the hearse was passing.
As the cortege was passing St. Benedictâs Church, the bell mournfully tolled and there was hardly a dry eye in the immense concourse and also at the grave many a tear was shed over the genial Eugene, who now lies, as his old friend J.G. OâConnor said, Out by the long wash of the Australian sea.

The remains were interred under the shadow of the â98 monument which Mr. Ryan and others worked so hard to erect and in which he took great pride. In addition to the clergymen mentioned before, the Rev. Father Kennedy and the Rev. Father Hyland OFM assisted at the grave.

Amongst others who sent messages of sympathy were Rev Father Walsh (Maclean) G. P. Fitzgibbon (Bombala), John Eviston (Bathurst), Rev Father OâDowd (Bathurst) Rev. Brothers Dominic [Bourke] Austin [OâConnell] Fintan [OâNeill] (Bathurst) Mother Gertrude (Convent of Mercy, Bathurst), Mrs. Winter (Bathurst), Rev. Father Brazil (Williamstown, Melbourne), Sister Ursula (Convent of Mercy, Forbes), J. Blakeney (Freemanâs Journal) John I Hunt (ãFlaneurä[columnist] The Freemanâs Journal),  Rev. Brother Boniface [Carroll] (Holy Cross College, Ryde), X. Dwyer (Mandurama), Pierre Tiernand Dumont (Friary, Waverley), Brother Alphonsus [Eviston] (Redfern), F. Foster (Secretary, N.S.W.  Hurling Club) H. Duffy (Secretary, Celtic Club (Melbourne) [and many others throughout the length and breadth of the State; far too many to mention in TGS.]
 

Mrs. Ryan and Rev. Brother Bernard have received a considerable number of telegrams and letters of condolence and sympathy. Mr W.H.K. Redmond, M.P. wired from Orange: Deeply regret Eugene Ryanâs death. I feel a good friend of Ireland is lost. Please convey to family deep regret and sympathy on behalf of the Irish Party.

In his letter of condolence, Mr. J. G. OâConnor quoted the following:-

It is not the tear of the moment shed, when the cold turf has just been laid oâer him, that can tell how beloved was the friend thatâs fled or how deep in our hearts we deplore him.

ÎTis the tear throâ many a day wept, ÎTis, lifeâs whole path oâershaded; ÎTis the one remembrance fondly kept, when all lighter griefs have faded.

Thus his memory like some holy light kept alive in our hearts, will improve them; and as fresher flowers the sod perfume, 

Where buried saints are lying, so our hearts shall borrow a sweetening bloom, from the image he left there in dying. 

Dr. OâDonnell, Melbourne in expressing his condolences wrote: 

Personally, I feel Eugeneâs loss keenly. Sydney can never be again quite the same to me without his jovial face and breezy manner. His death is, I think, the biggest blow the Irish cause in Australia has suffered for years and by that I mean not only the Parliamentary agitation for Home Rule, but also the Irish language movement and those other homely objects that the Gaelic League aims at, the cultivation of music, sports and dancing of our old Gaelic race. Who will take his place now? The rudder has gone, and the boat will drift unless Providence and Providence only will send us one to fill his place.

The enormous attendance at the funeral was eloquent testimony to the popularity of the deceased. His personality was indeed such as to win the affection of a wide circle of friends. His death is all the more deeply regretted because of the comparatively early age at which he was cut off. May his soul rest in peace.

-------Brother Eugene Ryan arrived at Sydney, New South Wales on board the SS Rome on 4 September 1884 in the company of seven other Brothers of St. Patrick. Brother Eugene with Brothers Sylvester Harmey and Benedict Sweeney immediately proceeded to Maitland to join Brother Dominic OâNeill.

In December 1988 the Brothers withdrew from Maitland and transferred to Armidale. Brother Eugene was Superior at Armidale from 1889 to 1893. In 1894 he was transferred to Redfern . It seems he left the Order in January/February 1895. 

In 1896 Eugene J. Ryan and Ellen Ryan (maiden name, also a native of Co. Tipperary) were married. They had no issue. The Sands Directories, 1898 edition, lists Eugene Ryan as the licensee of the California Inn on George-street, West. In the 1899 edition, the name of the establishment appears as Ryanâs Hotel. Eugene J. Ryan J.P. is shown in the Sands Directories as proprietor of Ryanâs Hotel through to 1905. 

The Sands entries closed in the October prior to the year of issue. This indicates that Eugene J. Ryan was proprietor from 1897 until his death on 7 July 1905. The hotel continued to be known as Ryanâs Hotel until it was rebuilt circa 1939 and renamed the Hotel Clare.

One of ãthe chief mourners in the death chamberä was X. T. Dwyer. This, no doubt, was Brother Xavier Thomas Dwyer who arrived on the SS Orient on 21 November 1892.  He, too, was from the parish of Clonoulty, Co. Tipperary. In 1893 Brother Xavier transferred from Ryde to Armidale where he remained until 1894. In 1895 he is recorded at Redfern.  Brother Xavier left the Order early that year. His address was reported as being ãManduramaä which currently is identified by post-code 2792.  Mandurama is located between the townships of Cowra and Young, New South Wales. Xavierâs friendship had to be of some standing to be present at the obsequies
It is probable that Xavier taught at the University College conducted by Eugene J. Ryan J. P. (Principal) on the corner of Regent and Cleveland-streets. The College seems to have closed immediately following Eugeneâs death. It did not appear in the 1906 edition of the Sandâs Directories. In their exit from the Congregation both Eugene Ryan and Xavier Dwyer left through the portals of the Redfern community.

The Sydney Morning Herald dated Saturday, 8 July carried the following notices:

Ryan. The friends of Mrs. Eugene Ryan, Ryanâs Hotel, George-street West, are kindly invited to the funeral of her late beloved HUSBAND, Eugene Ryan to leave his residence at 2.30 Tomorrow (Sunday) AFTERNOON for the Waverley Cemetery. 

Ryan. The friends of the late Eugene J. Ryan are invited to attend his funeral to leave his late residence Ryanâs Hotel, George-street West TOMORROW Sunday AFTERNOON at 2.30 for Waverley Cemetery.
Ryan. The friends of Rev. Bro. Bernard Ryan are kindly invited to attend the funeral of his dearly beloved BROTHER Eugene Ryan to leave his late residence, Ryanâs Hotel, George-street West TOMORROW Sunday AFTERNOON at 2.30 for the Waverley Cemetery.

A short report on the funeral appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, Monday 10 July 1905.

A further insight to Brother Eugene Ryanâs personality is reflected in two articles that appeared in The Freemanâs Journal. 

Patrician Brothers at Armidale  1 July 1893.
Brother Eugene, the headmaster of the Patrician Brothers College at Armidale paid a flying visit to Sydney during the past week and it should go without saying that his happy face and cheerful manner secured him a warm welcome from old friends and new acquaintances. Brother Eugene dropped into the FREEMAN office and when asked admitted with charming frankness that the College was ãdoing splendidlyä. The Patricians went into the Diocese of Armidale as ãprospectorsä but we have Brother Eugeneâs assurance that they have ãstruck goldä. There are now in the College 70 boys ö all hard workers and some of them exceedingly bright and clever. To secure ample ground Brother Eugene lately purchased 11 additional acres so that the college property now covers 23 acres ö not bad for a town allotment. Three bursaries have been established, one by his Lordship, Dr. Torregianni, the second by diocesan clergy and the third by the Brothers themselves.

St. Patrickâs Day Parade  25 March 1905.
·Vehicles brought up the rear, among them Mr. Eugene J. Ryanâs jaunting car, the occupants of which were its genial owner, the Hon. James Gormley, MLC,  J. G. OâConnor,  John Enright (West Maitland) and  J. Blakeney.
Eugene John Ryan, son of Daniel and Margaret Ryan, born in 1864 at Turraheen, parish of Clonoulty, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. Died Sydney, Friday 7 July 1905, aged 41 years. Buried at Waverley Cemetery on Sunday 9 July 1905. Ellen Ryan died the following year and rests with Eugene in the morning shadow of the â98 Memorial. 
MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.

Congratulations to you, too, Gus. Our thanks.

We recently visited the grave and also the â98 Memorial. Eugene and Ellen are buried two rows to the west, immediately up the hill and in line with the â98 Memorial. Should you be in the area, a visit to the â98 Memorial over the grave of the Wicklow chieftain Michael Dwyer and his wife Mary (nee Doyle) and to the grave of Eugene and Ellen Ryan is well worth the stroll. Waverley Cemetery is set in the form of an amphitheatre. There are spectacular views to Ben Buckler at Bondi and beyond. We include reproductions of photos taken on the recent visit to Waverley.
