Not Treasure Hunting

Prom Our Own Correspondent.

Papeete, Oct. 23.

THE Cook Islands Trading Co.’s schoon er “Tagua”, Captain Andrew Thomp son, is not after all on a treasure hunting expedition (as suggested in the September “P.1.M.”). She was chartered for a three months’ cruise by a resident of Honolulu, who joined her at Suva, cruised on her through the Cook Islands, and arrived at Tahiti early in October.

The “Tagua” left Papeete on October 18 for Samoa, to connect there with the Matson liner “Monterey”, on which the charterer will return to his home in Hawaii.
