Rarotonga, Oct. 3.
AN extraordinary freak of nature came to light recently at Rarotonga when a native brought to the Department of Agriculture the body of joined twin pigs. They were connected at the neck, having only one head but opening out into two bodies, each complete with a tail and four legs. The pigs have been preserved in a large container and are on show to an inquisitive public.
At the request of relatives of the late Pilot F. Buchanan, who was killed a year ago in a plane crash in the Bitoi Ranges, Morobe District, New Guinea, his body was exhumed and sent to Australia from Wau last month.
