Contract Malaria

Apia, Dec. 26.

THE case against a party of five young Samoans and Euronesians charged with stealing a motor-launch, which was to have been heard in Apia before Christmas, has been adjourned.

The launch, which belonged to Messrs.

A. G. Smyth & Co., Ltd., of Apia, was missing for some months and subse quently was found, with the adventurers, to have been wrecked on Vanikoro, Solo mon Islands.

During their wanderings some of the party contracted malaria which is now keeping them from answering their charges in the Apia Court.
