Apia, May 10.

nnHE Swedish motor-vessel “Tisnaren” 1 left Apia on May 8 with 1,800 tons of copra and 300 sacks of cocobeans for Continental markets—but minus two sailors.

Three of the crew, no doubt attracted by our Samoan beauties, deserted the ship in Apia. Though the police suc ceeded in finding one of the men, the other two (an Australian and an Eng lishman) are still at large.

Mr. Marc T. Greene, well-known Ame rican journalist, arrived in Suva in the middle of May, and after spending a few days in Fiji went on bv the Union com pany’s vessel to Tahiti.
