FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Writer Unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer

1t is learned that number Of new
and relatively important manuscripts
Of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and In Honolulu
BY an ardent admirer OF the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings OF the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos.
session of some OF the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result OF this research has been
the finding OF ~ essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
BY the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater Of Savaii or the pit Of
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation of wellknown legend
OF Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer OF Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
!, OF effort.
