PAPEETE, April 20.
ON Sunday morning, at about 4 a.m., we experienced the first noticeable earthquake tremor which has vis ited these Islands since 1921. Windows and doors were shaken noisily, and several of our friends returning more or less on foot from very late parties were led to make some startling reso lutions.
We hope that this is not the pre cursor of a series of tremors such as we experienced in 1921. We really have enough to do to maintain our credit during these hard times, without being shaken down into the bargain.
