THAT strange annual phenomenon, the appearance of the Palolo, that mys terious sea-worm that is regarded by natives and Europeans alike as a great delicacy, was this year a month late.
Almost always, it occurs, in Samoa, in the last quarter of the October moon.
Like all else, it is more clostly now.
Once, it retailed in Apia at from 6d, to 1/- per ofu; it is sold, this year, at 1/6 to 2/-, Pried in butter and onions, and served on crisp toast with a sorinkling of lime-juice, it is a delicious dish.
