A passenger on the July “Maui Pomare” from Rarotonga for Auckland was Charlie Frisbie, son of Mr. Robert Dean Frisbie and one of the young “cowboys” familiar to readers of the noted South Sea author’s stories of atoll life. Charlie is to be apprenticed at a New Zealand racing stable as a jockey. This is due to the interest of Mr. W. H. Watson of Rarotonga by whom the lad has been employed for a considerable time. R. D.
Frisbie is at present living in Rarotonga with the rest of his young family. A book written by eldest daughter “Johnny,” presenting the life of the Frisbie family “from a woman’s point of view,” is ex pected to be published shortly.
