Zane Grey At Tahiti.
p. 40 · Read in the full issue
From Our Own Correspondent PAPEETE, March 24.
MR. ZANE GRAY, celebrated author and big game fisherman, returned from New Zealand on the last mail boat, and proceeded immediately to his camp in the Vairao district. Some days later Mr. Gray’s new launch, “Frangi pani,” came into port, having made the journey from New Zealand under her own power in 13 days.
The “Frangipani” is a twin screw petrol burning craft, luxuriously ap pointed, and constructed to the owner’s specifications to meet the conditions in these waters. Since his return to Tahiti, Mr. Gray appears to have been occupied upon literary work.
