RAROTONGA, January 27.
On January 26, the tourist ship “City of Los Angeles” spent a day here, and the passengers greatly enjoyed themselves.
Trucks and cars met them at the wharf, and conveyed them round the island to Muri, a beautiful beach and good lagoon, with islets on the reef, in easy reach of swimming or canoeing enthusiasts. Native
dancing went on almost continuously and, in the afternoon, a play, based on an epi sode in Maori history, was enacted. On all sides this was acclaimed as excellent, and the costumes particularly admired, many being bought right off the backs of the performers. Money seemed plentiful and circulated freely.
