CARRY MESSAGE

San Francisco.

A request for matches caused the 18,000-ton Matson-Oceanic liner Mariposa to heave to in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

When the liner reached San Francisco the captain reported that he had been hailed by a num- ber of natives in a canoe half-way between Samoa and Fiji.

The liner atopped, and a note was handed to him by the natives.

It was signed by the only white 0127 on the tiny island of Niua Fo'ou, Mr. W. G. Quonsell, and it asked for matches, es Quennell's only means of making fire was to rub two sticks together.

"Cigarette Welcomed"

"We have also been out of sugar and petrol for over two months," the note added. "Cigarettes would be welcome. Ink and would be a luxury....
