Hurricane Calm!

New Zealanders' Adventure in Fiji

rEY were three young New Zea landers, just arrived in Fiji, and they had heard dire and dreadful tales of the Tropics. For their benefit, Fiji duly staged a neat little hurricane, out in the thick of which they were doing rescue work.

They went to the aid of an Indian woman, who had broken her leg, and made her as comfortable as they could, at the back of their van and then drove, post haste, for the hospital.

A couple of times she called out that she would like to get there as quickly as possible. The lads yelled out reassuring replies above the wind, and drove like the dickens At last, they were there. Out they jumped, to give the lady a hand, and to

do what best they could in the circum stances Instead of one person, they found two.

Their eyes opened wide, their mouths fell open, they mopped their perspiring brows.

One remarked, “Whew! What calm — what hurricane calm!”

Yes, they are all god-fathers to the infant, and report favourably on its

progress!—Kai Viti.

Mr. William Schaaffhausen, of Burns, Philp (SS) Co. Ltd., Western Samoa, married Miss Anna Ruland, at Apia Pro testant Church in March. Bridesmaids were Misses Tua Rasmussen and Ella Hoeflich, and Messrs. Emil Ruland and Willie Rasmussen attended the bride groom. As the bridal party arrived at the church, the electric power failed owing to storm damage and Rev. H. W.

Whyte conducted the ceremony by the light of a tiny hurricane lamp. The young couple have made their home at Vailele.
