The mysterious circumstances surrounding his death at Goaribari are discussed and the consequences of his death explored. But later, in the declining years of his life, when he was lonely, ill and depressed, Chalmers had to struggle almost single-handed to evangelize the swamp lands of the Papuan Gulf and the Fly River.
