Rarotonga, Jan. 8.
WHEN the schooner “Tagua” sailed last month she had on board equip ment for the new wireless station at Puka Puka, Northern Cooks. A locally trained native operator will be in charge of the installation.
This new station having no commer cial value is just another link in the chain of radio stations on remote islands of the South Seas for the use of future trans-Pacific air services, and they also will have their use in case of war.
Author R. D. Frisbie will not welcome this incursion of civilisation into his Islands paradise.
