A Junbi is a bad spirit.

Some time ago, the people on St. Croix sent one over in a bottle to the island of St. Thomas. The Junbi kicked the cork out of the bottle and got loose. Sure enough, pretty soon the clinic at the mimmmmmmMmmmMmmmmmmmi I mm 'i rH?

The natives told him, "No, doctor, pills no good for de Junbi." i Dr. Anduze said: "You take the pill. But ALSO light a candle at night, watch the clock.

At exactly midnight, blow out the candle and you blow, the Junbi out of your belly." They did. The Junbi was soon blown out of ev-, erybody. St. Croiz, Virgin THE CARRIBEAN will be chock-a-block "with tourists this winter. The Virgin Islands will get a great part of them.

In these rummy reeports, you can buy all the world's goods, imported duty-free. Japanese cam-, eras. Danish silver. French perfume. Rum is 80 cents a bottle.

While overseas tourists are limited to one bottle and $100 exempt buys, the Virgin Islands visi-; tor can bring back a gallon and $200 worth. This is the only part of the U.S. where traffic goes on the left. It's a hangover from when, the Danes owned the islands. They brought in Afrlfan slaves to work the sugar.

In 1848, they freed their slaves and it shocked the whole free world. In the British islands and the American South, it was well known that black people were happier as slaves. Cutting cane, making rum and plunkin' on the old banj-o. I St. John, Virgin Islands I BORROWED a snorkel and a floating beach "chair and sat in luxury on the warm, blue Carib iff i IP Spain The Zaca has gone.

Majorca Is In mourning. Palma without the Zaca Is like Paris without the Eiffel Tower, Rome without the Dolce Vita, and London without Christine Keeler. The Zaca Is the late Errol Flynn's heritage, by far the most famous and sex-appealing sailing ship around these days. One hundred and eigh-teen feet of beautiful length 2500 square meters of gallant sails, and 87 tons of lovely luxury even without the full car-gos of passionate women that Flynn used to store in the cabins while bal- ancing the weight with equal proportions of Irish whisky in the bar. Effect Most of the time since Errol Flynn's death the Zaca has been anchored in Palma's port, standing as prominently against the island sky- cathedral and the ruins of Belver Castle.

Its effect on visiting tourists was staggering. Meek Mr. Milquetoasts would suddenly blossom into cock-of-the-walk Casanovas as they came under the spell of the seductive, schooner and its swashbuckling memories. Generally such sheep in wolves' clothing would end up acting more Don Quixote than Don Juan, but their middle-aged spouses loved it. The Lonely The mere sight of the Zaca could take 20 years off the age of lonely widows, divorcees and never-marrieds.

Such ladies dreamed themselves to be lovely boodle and booty for a gallant buccaneer, and hopefully left their doors unlocked at night. Any boat large enough to hold a hammock or bunk moored itself close to the Zaca until the island port was a jammed beehive of minor Flynns. Once ashore, it took miracle maneuvering for man or woman to find the way back to the right boat, but it really didn't matter because the welcome sign was out on every tiny gangplank. Blushes Privacy was unknown, and the intimate plots played out daily would never be allowed in Peyton Place. Some of them even have brought blushes to the experienced cheeks of Errol Flynn.

For 20 years the Zaca cruised the glamorous ports of this world until its movie-star owner left It parked in Majorca shortly before his death. Playboy His widow, Patricia Wymore, and his movie-star son, Sean Flynn, didn't like the sea enough to lay out the kind of money that the schooner FLYNN AND HIS WIFE NORA AT SEA Irish whisky and lovely women and its necessary crew eat up. Besides, Flynn left behind enough debts rim, Aksr iYU bean. Twenty feet down, the white sand slows with a soft pastel light. The water is that clear.

The floating beach chair is made of thick, foamy plastic full of air bubbles. It has pockets in each arm. In one pocket, you put a book. In the other you put a bottle of Danish beer. There is a caster bean tree, all full of pink flowers, along the shore of coco palms.

A pelican sits in the tree they are solemn looking birds. When he sees a fish, he goes in head first. I Snap -that's breakfast. Once in a while, you put on the snorkel and slip into the water and see the bottom through the face mask. Plenty of conch shells around here.

There's a fish who's a fraud. He has eyes in. j-his tail a color formation that looks like the tail is i the head. The pelican thinks, "That fish is" swimming, right into my mouth." Actually, he is swimming' away. That's life.

Just when you think you're getting a grip on Fortune, it is swimming away. 1 Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands AT SUNDOWN, on the stone sea terrace, they; serve the Big Bamboo. The bartender mumbled something abput "rum an' Cointreau." It is served in a section of bamboo. The barman is glowing black. A pure-' blood descendant of slaves brought over in the days of rum and sugar, Morgan and Drake.

Sir Francis Drake sailed through the island, passage at the end of the Sixteenth Century. He re-' viewed his fleet of looters from the St. Thomas hill called Drake's Seat. The black islands against the night sky have wonderful names: Little Dog. Big Dog.

Jost Van Dyke. Fallen Jerusalem. At the edge of the eastern horizon is Anegada i' Island, ten feet above water at the highest point Slipping underwater in a long, sharp coral reef. It is stiff with sea-washed bones of ships and men. and taxes to sink the ship.

At any rate, the Zaca was put up for sale and has rested all these years in the Spanish port without the care required to keep it shipshape and in cruising trim. Recently a budding British playboy named Freddy Tinsley, who has made a bundle in fingernail products, has dreamed of reviving the great tradition of Errol Flynn by sailing the seven seas In the company of beautiful women. The heirs asked for the Zaca, and Freddy offered $50,000. The heirs said take the sailing ship for a few months, and we shall reach a compromise solution in November. Cannes Trouble began as soon Freddy got the Zaca outside the breakwater.

The sails began to rip, the motor went on the blink, and to hear the natives tell it some of the sailors began deserting the ship like life-loving rats. For a moment the Majorcans cheered because they expected the Zaca to return to port. But Freddy kept right oh going, and made it all the way to Cannes. Currently the Zaca is docked at the French resort, hooked up by "ta-Ikie-walkie" (the French translation of our walkie-talkie) to his Hollywood-style apartment on the Croisette, his Villa Coup-de-Vent at Super-Cannes, and his Jaguar. "It will cost $150,000 to put the Zaca into shape," Freddy admit-ted.

"The sails alone will come to $401000.,, We looked at the bevy of bathing beauties sighing over the Zaca. "But it may be worth it," said Freddy.
