Sailor

Apia, May 20.

A YOUNG English sailor, Williams, from the crew of the Swedish steamer Anten, tempted by tropical life and, per haps, by the dusky beauties of Samoa, decided to desert his ship. He was living at a Samoan village on the coast when he saw some Samoan policemen approaching evidently looking for him.

Williams, trying to hide, climbed a tree near the village, but fell and broke his leg. He will spend some time in hospital here and then will be deported.
