Palolo.
But Flee From Mal-de-Mer.
Apia, Nov. 26.
On Sunday morning-, November 20, the deservedly famous and eagerly expected Palolo worm made his yearly appear ance on Samoa’s shores and Apia week enders made a trip to Fabelahai and Manono island, outfitted with all the necessary paraphernalia to catch the elusive sea-dwellers.
Unfortunately, the weather was very rough in the Manono straits, and the ex cursionists, though rewarded with good catches, returned much the worse for mal-de-mer. Some of the party, after their trouble, had the bad luck to see their canoes turn turtle in a rough sea and have their Palolo catches return back to their element.
