"Dr. Hetherwick". Interior view with Rev. Dr. Alexander Hetherwick sitting at his desk, there is a typewriter on a small desk to his right and bookshelves surrounding him. Rev. Alexander Hetherwick (1860-1939) founded the Domasi mission in 1884. It is one of a number of important missions, extending from Blantyre, in Southern Malawi and takes its name from the largest river that flows into Lake Shirwa [Chilwa] on the western shore. It is situated north of Blantyre near Mount Zomba. The station was central to the medical work in the area, and trained girls in industrial and domestic work. Mr Hetherwick was an accomplished linguist and translated the New Testament in to the Yao language and wrote manuals on the Yao and Nyanja languages.
