AROTONGA. The beautiful island of Rarotonga, mountainous and well-wooded, measures about 20 miles round. It is the biggest island of the Cook Group. In the foreground of this picture, peeping through the luxuriant foliage, is the litfle town of Avarua, administrative centre and chief port of the Territory. The break inthe reel, opposite can be seen: small and medium vessels can enter and tie up dt the wharf, but big ships lie off, on a fairly good anchorage. The air field is on the coastal plain, out of sight, to the right.
