NO BANANAS TO-DAY, SAY FRUITERERS.
BY SIN BAD. Whenever one hears of Samoa, one likewise hears surely of fuss, it seems that those isles will not show a more favoured complexion to us. Consider the Maui Pomare, that up-to-date motor ship swell, although Mr Nelson’s afar, he has cast on its working a spell. A lot of bananas were loaded, but then the cool storage got hot, the ship would have surely exploded tinless they had dumped out the lot. And now they turn on an inquiry, on one more Samoa affair, just why did the hold get so fiery, when they had a freezing plant there? The scientists over it wonder, debating ■with theories and jaw. while Coates doubtless shortly will thunder: “It’s just one more plot of the Mau.” Meanwhile all the fruiterers darn, as to customers daily they say, “ F>ut yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas to-day.”
