Papeete, Feb. 25.
ASAD drowning accident occurred recently at Loti’s Pool, in Fautaua Valley.
Loti’s Pool, made famous by the dis tinguished French author, is about three kilometres from Papeete. It is a favourite resort for merry picnic parties on Sundays and holidays, and the sur rounding terrain has been made into a charming park.
One of these happy, laughing com panies were swimming and diving in the waters of the pool when it was discerned that one of their number—a young Tahitian—was missing. Search in the depths revealed that he had dived into a deep hole at the bottom, had become caught under overhanging rocks and had drowned.
