1. AT „_ Tlkir , HONOLULU, Dec. 12.
N P.I.M. lor October, it was reported that Teni Huri, a youth from the village of Takaroa in the Tuamotus was leaving here with ping-pong sets to compete with Uawana, who runs a bil table which is a favourite with the Takaroans.
Teni Huri duly set off in September with the Northrup Castles, Honolulu folks who own the cutter “Laila” They visited Washington, Palmyra, Fanning and Christmas Islands. While at Christ mas the Castles received bad news from home by radio, so they were forced back to Honolulu, and abandoned their plans for a prolonged tour of the South Seas (as reported in October “P.1.M.”, also).
Teni Huri remained at Christmas Is land, where he will await the call of a copra schooner that periodically comes from Tahiti. This is only delaying the agony of Uawana. Teni still has the ping-pong sets, and is protecting them jealously. He won’t be happy until he has cleaned up in Takaroa!
