Earl And Countess Beatty In Samoa

p. 17 · Read in the full issue

EARL and Countess Beatty, who spent a month in Western Samoa, left Apia on December 15 for Pago Pago (American Sa moa) to join the liner “Monterey” for Fiji and New Zealand.

In Samoa, the interesting couple were the guests of Mr. A. C. Turnbull (Acting Administrator) and his wife.

In spite of unfavourable weather, they had an inter esting time, including a 10days’ malaga in Savai’i, where Mr. T. Robson (Resi dent Commissioner) took them for a trip round the island. The natives showed great interest in the Earl and Countess and entertained them in typical Samoan fashion.
