Sfttem Hume and Simpson, who left Palmerston North in November to join the staff of the hospital at Apia, Samoa, writing to friends state that life in the tropics is most enjoyable, and they find everything interesting in spite of the heat. The mosquitos, flies, and insects generally, however, are a great pest. The scenery has a grandness of its own, always green and cool to look at. Hospital life to them is most interesting. The sea bathing is delightful, the water Being always warm and clear. There are beautiful drives for miles along the coast, which is fringed by cocoanut palms that add to the beauty and charm.
