The publisher of PIM gazed upon the front page of South Pacific Post, of Port Moresby, and sniffed. Instead of the words “Friday, May 5”, the Post was conspicuously dated “Friday, April 5”. The other pages were correctly dated.

Then he turned to The Fiji Times, of Suva. There, on the front page, which should have read “Wednesday, May 3,” were the words “Wednesday, April 3”, —although all the other pages were correctly labelled.
A unique coincidence? PlM’s tired old publisher gave it another name.
