LANDING AT RAKAHANGA.
4 Risky Feat and One That SorsIy
Tries the Nerves.

Tries the Nerves.
Rakahanga is a little coral atoll in
the south sea. not very FAR from New
Zealand. Few people ever visit It.
and to judge from the account in Mt.
Frank Burnett's Through Tropic
Seas" of the difficulties that attend
landing there none would care 10 go a
second time.
At Rakahanga the feeling is that
only by n miracle can a safe passage
be made through what. by a stretch
OF the Imagination. Is called the en-
trance to the lagoon. Imagine q once
good entrance INSTRUCTED by a wall Of
coral rising to within n few feet OF the
surface OF the water. This coral wall
is built by that wonderful creature,
the coral polyp. Over 1t break with
inconceivable fury huge ocean pillows
that travel with the speed OF race
horses. flashing and churning the water
into a milk white foam and with a
deafening roar throwing the spray to
such height that it may be seen miles
| away.
The backwash OF every breaker
forms. on the outside Of the wall OF
rock. a chasm fathOms deep, which is
again filled up by the next rushing
wave. To cross the abyss and reach
the quiet shelter OF the lagoon is a
difficulty that the islander shows the
greatest skill in surrounding.
His boat-a long. low. fat bottomed
affair. built much like halibut dory.
manned usually by six paddlers be-
sides the steersman-is brought TO the
very verge of the boiling caldron. and
there it is held till the OppOrtune mo-
ment arrives. Since that sometimes
does not occur for five or ten minutes
the passenger has plenty OF time TO
reflect upon his misdeeds. to survey
the sublime scene and to wonder how
in the world that fearful turmoil OF
water is to be crossed.
The delay does not tend to compose
his nerves. but IL he is observant he
will notice that about every five OF
