Octopus wrestling involves a diver grappling with a large octopus in shallow water and dragging it to the surface. Wilmon described a trip to Tahiti to take on what he described as a “demon of fury.” He wrote how Tahitians believe the giant octopus “to be the prowling ghost of the wicked god Tumuraifenua, who cast the natives into darkness by holding down the sky with his tentacles. According to the legend, sickness overwhelmed the population and slimy monsters crawled from the deep lagoons to devour entire villages.” This is an original 3+ page magazine article from 1949 Pages measure 6 1/2" x 9".
