'"Griginally I wanted to plot the story around the kidnapping of Prince Charles from Gordon- Btoun school in Scotland but the ublisher wouldn't go for that, o I had to spin it around the rime minister's son and I brink that weakened the story little," Reyburn, a former war cor- respondent who worked in Can- fda for seveal years before nd after the Second World iWar, has written the novel un- er the pen-name of William ott.

It's the eighth novel by the New Zealand-born author who Iso wrote a book about the leppe raid of 1942 based on hews dispatches he wrote as @orrespondent for the old weekly Montreal Standard, With the latest work of fiction out of the way, Reyburn has gwitched his interest to a dit- age field, He's preparing a ig glossy reference book to be lied The World of Rugby and all for about $15, "I've received an advance parent tramp ithe publisher, and begun t massive, jo pre-Lenten car- | ally, ! over Getting the | tackle another novel, The carnival is the island of | Trinidad's biggest tourist at- though the compatriot | does a brisk/| its bigger quantity of beaches, Off to the nortneast, in Bar- bados, tourism currently is edg- ing up on sugar as-the coun- try's biggest money-maker, In Trinidad and Tobago, at last count, tourism meant an annual $12,000,000 In incontT® Barbados authorities say tour- ism there now brings in a total | of more than $16,000,000 annu- | collecting Information from all er that PH perhaps th the world, Att one a year, COVERED SPORTS This isn't Reyburn's first ex- perience writing about sport, When he came to London from Auckland in the 19308, he cov- ered cricket for Reuters news agency, : He moved to Canada In 1997, 'settling in Toronto.

He received th' OBE for his war reporting. Back in Canada after the war, he became editor of New Lib- erty magazine in 1947, Three years later he returned to Lon- don where, for a time, he wrote a London columa for the Tor- onto Telegram, Recently he was deputy edi- tor of the big, slick British fortnightly, Queen, but departed. with the "golden handshake"-- a British system of paying an employee off with a lump sum which Reyburn figures will keep him going for a year.

Commercial sources ig. Ja- maica say tourism there, "with vast stretches of north + coast | beaches still to be developed, is 'only scratching the ssrface. The country's tourist officials have been calling for more air | services between the island and | outside areas, improvements in inland transportation, stehped- up staff training and more tour- ist amenities such as night clubs and yachting facilities. In Barbados, the talk also is of expansion. More and ex- tended hotels seem to be the order of the day, But brassiness of the "Miami" order, as locals like to term it, is spurned, Bar- bados now has the air of a quiet place admirable for those who want to rest.
