    Harry Terry Yap, Mapia, Nauru, Banaba, Kosrae (1874-1882?)

    Harry Terry was an Englishman from Worwich. He was said to have served as a sailor at HMS "Seringapatam". He left England in 1832, probably bound for Australia. He may have been sent to Australia as a convict. It is said that Terry, along with 15 other escape convicts from Australia arrived at Nauru on a whaleship in 1845. Many of Terry's companions met violent deaths in Nauru, and after 3 or 4 years, Terry and five others moved to Banaba. One source (Mallard) claims that they cut off the whaleship "Inga" of New Bedford and masaccred the crew in December 1852.

    Terry was living on Kosrae in 1874 at the visit of the HMS "Rosario". He was married to a woman from Nauru. Terry may have spent some time in the Marshalls. He may be the "Harry" who was brought from the Marshalls to the Western Carolines aboard the "Agnes Donald" in March 1877. Terry was the resident trader on Mapia for Capelle & Co. in the late 1870s when O'Keefe met him and took him into his employment. Terry reported brought thirty Nauruans with him to Mapia. O'Keefe married Terry's daughter, Charlotte. Terry presumably continued trading as O'Keefe's agent in Mapia for years afterwards.
