The seductive charm of Tahiti is all its own for everywhere the beautiful is wedded to the grand. The stern crags are but nestling places for the mosses of the forest, and fascinated by the s-ylvan setting «of the waterfall where rainbows ?oat on =mists among the tree ferns; the roar of the cataract is unperceived; and the coral reefs and shaded shores of fair Tahiti, who can forget them — the glorious sparkle of sun beams playing over ?ickering ripples in a riot of turquoise, emerald, and blue is the setting 'of every picture — the background of every memory. Indeed, it is not where the peaks are highest that Tahiti is loveliest for nowhere in the Pacific do the mountains meet the sea in fairer grace Of form and color than at Tautira on the eastern coast Of Tahiti-iti. The charmed memory of Tahiti lives only to die with the beholder.
