Pacific Island Night

By Marjorie Court McLaughlin

From the shore , the sun has found a painted pathway To skyline etched against the shadows of the bay.

The winds that rove the palm-tree aisles with panther tread Are hushed to sleep. The tide steals in; and overhead A lone bird wheels and cries . . .

Light fades, and crystal-clear Above the Point one star burns bright. And night is here.

If Mr. R. J. A. Ingram, who has been secretary and a director of United Island Traders Ltd., Rarotonga, Cook Island for 71 years, will leave the company at the end of July and business on his own account.
