The invasion of correspond

responsible but highly success

travel to Pharamaul with Di-
namaula. the new chief, who
is fresh from oxford.
The Uprising
The reporter quotes in his
stories. in exaggerated form.
some of Dinamaula's casual
comments about hoping to eff
feet reforms in the tribe. The
chief-to-be even remarks that
he may not marry a girl from
the tribe, but possibly will
marry a white girl. This
fetches more correspondents.
some from London, other from
America, all representing SEN
sational papers or magazines.
Under the probings of these
writer's, a rebellious element in
the tribe suddenly decides to
slaughter the Maula's British
masters. Dinamaula. a more
or less innocent victim, is
seized and hustled into exile.
1t is emphasized through
out the vast story that the
Maulas are not ready to
govern themselves. Maybe
some time in the dim future
they will be. Meanwhile they
should carry on as their
fathers have for a hundred
years and let the British con-
tinue to inculcate the bless

Characters Are Typed
The characters are all typed.
There's the stuffy old Gov
ernor, a traditionalist, who
nevertheless knows what's
best for backward people; the
resident commissioner in the
north, who has ruled wisely,
if sternly. for IS years; the
Governors sex-mad daugh-
ter; his homoSexual counselor;
the devout missionary priest,
the busybody priest who comes
from America and helps the
press stir up trouble; the
boyish war hero, who, comes
out from London to be First
Secretary and promptly falls
in love with the Governors
pretty private secretary: the
doughty Irish police chief, etc.
Most Of the names have the
quality of caricature.
Revolving Scenes
And yet. in the realism of
the later pages, when the au-
thor describes what happened
to the three white persons resi-
dent in the savage north, there
is some writing more revolving
than anything in Robert
Ruark's controversial novel
about the Mau Maus, Some
thing of Value"
1t all adds up to a great deal
of space and some very graphic
descriptions, though what it's
all supposed to prove I am at
a loss to say. The publisher,
however, anticipating a best
seller. has turned out a whop-
ping big first printing.

MERMAID SINGING. BY
Chairman Cliff. (Bobbs-
Merrill; $3.750
EASTER IN SICILY. BY Her.
bert Kubly. (Simon g. Schu-
Ster; $3.50
From the Aegean and from
the Mediterranean, come
these two washed reports
of life on ancient islands,
where pagan and Christian
are intertwined, where natural
beauty throws human misery
into dramatic relief. and
where people seem to live on
faith and hope alone.
Chairman Cliff, her husband
and their two children, left
the snug discomfort of their
London home to go to Greek
island they had heard de-
scribed in a BIC broadcast.
1t was Palymnos. a beautiful,
doomed bare rock of q place
which lived on sponge diving,
a cruel calling being rendered
obsolete by modern synthetics.
MERMAID SINGING is
however, far more than the
story Of a family which
chucked it all. 1t totally lacks
the "Aren't-we-the- craziest-
people" jauntiness which mad
dens so many readers of such
chronicles. Mrs. Cliff, who pre-
viously collaborated with her
journalist husband, George, on
several novels. has a women's
eye for detail and a poets
turn of phrase which lifts her
account into the realm of the
poignant and the meaningful.
Not So Idyllic
Their life on a Greek island,
she is frank to say, was no
idyll dreamed in their fog
bound London fiat, but it
was life, unquestionably. The
plumbing in their improbably
picturesque yellow house
overlooking the teeming har-
Dor, did not work. the roof
leaked: troops of inquisitive
natives. legions of children
swarmed by and through it at
all hours. They were never,
never alone.
They were caught up in the
web of that poverty-wracked
existence. with the fiestas
wound through it like a vivid
ribbon; they came to love their
doughty maid. Sevasti. Once
1t was established that, de-
spite the fact that they were
Australians they were not a
secret committee for Austral-
ian immigration, a goal pas
sionately sought by all the
islanders. they were accepted.
They went to the christen-
ings. burials, weddings. They
greeted Easter with exhaust
ing rapture. They sought
treasure in the Kalymnos val
leys, which like all roundabout
were "drenched in myth and
legend and history" Their
children went to the local
school.
Color and Kindness
They watched the sponge
feet depart and awaited with
the others the news Of "the
crazy ones" those who had
been drowned or those VINO
had been paralyzed in the cold
waters of Africa. They dis
covered a favorite tavern.
