Escopist Vocotioners
Find Haven on Samoa

PAGO PAGO, American Sa-
moa.-Except as the setting for
a notable conquest by a lady
named Sadie, American Samoa
seems to be the least appreciated
and most misunderstood of the
languid lands below the equator.
When Somerset Vaughan
made Page Pago-the capital
city-the tropical locale for his
saga of missionary's downfall
in Rain he seems to have cast
these islands into a mold from
which they've never escaped.
