A Feast in Samoa
From Our Own Correspondent
Apia, Nov. 12.
DURING last week the Palolo (or coral reef worm) —that rare delicacy much esteemed by Samoans and Europeans alike —made its annual appearance on the coasts of the Samoan Islands.
The catch this year was prolific and the town of Apia was practically over-run by large numbers of natives from the West and South Coasts of Upolu, selling the spaghetti-like worms to eager buyers.
Quite a number of people indulged too much in the abundance of Palolo 3 and con sequently attacks of indigestion were the order of the day.
Mr. M. P. Curtain returned to Aus tralia from New Guinea in November, after inspecting a gold property in the Wewak area.
