That Duel In Tahiti
p. 38 · Read in the full issue
Letter to the Editor TO Anglo-Saxons, the duel is very much of an anachronism.
Consequently, when the present writer reported—in the “PIM”, of September, 1940 —the duel recently fought at Tahiti, he thought it fitting to surround the event with the atmosphere of the cen tury during which this custom was held in high honour.
The writer learns with regret that the article has given offence to certain gentlemen toward whom no offence was intended.
I am, etc.,
Alfred C. Rowland.
Tahiti, 6/11/1940.
