PEACEFUL AND QUIET
IMPRESSIONS OF SAMOA A TOURIST’S VIEW “Apia is perfectly peaceful from a tourist’s point of view,” said Mr. H. Goodhart, a London visitor who made the island tour on the Tofua. He said that in his two days at Apia he failed to see the slightest sign of a disturbance. Two warships were lying idly in the hay, and there was a sentry on guard, bttt there were no demonstrations. “It reminded me of Shanghai,” said Mr. Goodhart. “Everything is quiet to the man in the place, and one has to go outside to learn of the troubles.” Apia was a great disappointment to the visitor; in fact, he described it as “horrible.” He considered that Levuka was easily the pick of the places he visited.-
