From Our Own Correspondent

Apia, Nov. 21.

PALOLO, the mysterious sea worm which appears only once a year on the coasts of certain South Sea Is lands and is a much sought delicacy for natives and Europeans, made its ap pearance in Samoa on Monday and Tuesday, November 14 and 15. Unfortu nately, the supply was not as plentiful as usual, but the small offering was sold by native fishermen in the streets of Apia in record time.
