THE COMICAL CONQUEST OF TAHITI
Continued from page five

Together they ducked around corners, but
the husband was always at hand Soon this
impatient charmer contrived to 60 to the
rail and cast off the family canoe. She
screamed and pointed, and the husband
mmped over the side to retrieve it. When he
returned, she smiled upon him and showed
him nail the good carpenter had given her
Her husband was almost as pleased as she was.
On shore, the sailors and native girls struck
up beautiful friendships. Curiously, there was
no interference by the native men, 1t was also
curious that these girls, who at first had asked
only for l0-penny nails, soon began to ask
for 20 penny nails. And as their demands rose,
the island prices rose as we'll Within a few
weeks, foodstuffs were up good 400 per cent.
But more boys met more girls, and when they
walked along the beach they cared little about
price levels. Soon, however, the girls we're
asking for 4O-penny nails. ''Some," wrote
Robertson, ''are so extravagant as to de-
mand seven or nine-inch spikes and
other items from the ships stores.''
Suddenly, on July 81, only five weeks after
the Dolphin had appeared offshore, the idyllic
island boom became crisis. Robertson, irri-
tated and perplexed, wrote that day:
After dinner, when | was ordering the

liberty men into the boat, the carpenter
came and told me that every cleat on the ship
was drawn, and all the nails carried off. At
the same time the Boatswain informed me
that most of the hammock nails was drawn.
and two thirds OF the men obliged to lie on
the deck for want of nails to hang their ham,
mocks."
Liberty was halted. But no nails or cleats
could be recovered. 1t was bad situation.
lhe Captain saw that if his ship stayed much
longer. she would probably fall apart. He
promptly gave orders for getting under way.
The Queen Cried
lHEY stocked provisions. When the news
got ashore, the queen visited the ship and
begged the Captain to stay 10 more days
nine more -. eight more . two more! He
was adamant. She cried The Captain grew
suspicious. Might she be expecting some huge
armada of paddlers from another island?
The ship set sail, as he had ordered, on the
18th of July. Hundreds of native canoes sur
rounded her. There were smiles and tears.
i really do believe" wrote Robertson.
that there was vast many of these country
people who would have willingly come home
with us, and there was some of our men who

We do not know exactly what the natives
thought of this or how conscious they we're
of bringing it about. 1t may be that their bar
tered brides were as patriotic as they were
lovely. The End

The desire to make mud pies
seems to be a universal childhood
trait. I can well remember the
day in my own fifth year when l
seized the opportunity to steal SIX
eggs and a can of flour in order
to concoct a series of super du-
per, extra special mud pies. I re-
call too that I got padded for
wading barefooted in the mud
one fine spring day, but neverthe-
less I'd like to do it again. Alta
vism it may well be, but remem-
Der the squish squlsh as
nv feet went down into the
warm wet earth as something out
of this world.
(The peasants who trampled
the grapes with their feet in the
old wine making days must have
had great fun tooD
Mud pie making, it seems to
me, makes for perfectly valid
creative effort. If my memory
is correct, the mud was put into
a sauce pan, (if mama was lib
eral, otherwise a coffee can or a
what-not was substituted) and
mixed with great care to Of
tain exactly the right consistency.
1t couldn't be too thin, yet it had
to be moist enough to stand plenty
of handling. The second step, OF
course, was moulding the dough"
into the shapes of ones desire
and decorating the top surfaces
with whatever swirls and convo-
lutions imagination dictated. The
pies, Ga loosely used term ac-
tually) were then carefully put
into the sun to dry, and anxious
ly watched during the process
for fear cracks would develop.
Now the mud pie making in
stinct reaches its ultimate and
highest destiny in the hands OF a
sculptor. The Michelangelos, the
Maillols and the Epsteins of the
world, making clay sketches for
heroic statues, were in essence
playing mud pies.
Since few of us can ever hope
to achieve the artistic stature OF
a Maillol or an Epstein, and sn1ce
a lot of us have a secret urge
to do something about the instinct
in question, it is nice to know we
can mes around with clay in an
amateur way, without training,
skill or talent and be able to
achieve practical end along with
the fun involved.
There is now on the market, for
the rst time since the war, an
amazing ceramic clay which can
be baked into hardness without
benefit of kiln. Baked in your
own kitchen rnage, at very low
temperature, it is then ready for
glazing. The glaze is also hard
ened by the baking process in your
own oven. The glazeS, which can
be ordered from the same COM
pany as the clay, can be used very
effectively.
If you need ash trays, or small
flower containers-if you'd like
to experiment with ceramic jew
elry, or simple cigaret boxes, this
is the stuff, and for invalids who
have grown tired of reading and
soap operas, a light weight board,
