Portrait of Moloko.

This is a wonderful portrait of Moloko. For those of you in the know, Moloko heads up Papa Nui's native labour battalion and is responsible for keeping the Mary's nimble at their Union Specials.

Moloko and the Corsair.

Moloko loved aeroplanes, especially the Corsair F4-U which the Marines had lined up and down the coral airstrip at the end of the Island. " Alla same big fella bird!" he used to shout, ecstatically, until one day the Papa took him up for a pass or two over the jungle. Ever afterward he walked in silence among the black men, a soul apart, like one who had discovered things best hidden from humanity.
