Kevin, The ship's name was "Tofua", a passenger-cargo ship owned by Union SS Co employed on the Pacific Islands run. She was built by Wm Denny at Dumbarton in 1908, 4345 gross tons, steamship, 14.5 knots. She had accommodation for 105 first and 43 second class passengers. 'Storekeeper' may well have been 'Engine room storekeeper', the senior ER rating. In her day she was a well known ship and you should be able to find plenty of references to her.
