NEWS FROM PITCAIRN ISLAND.
Sailor Comn Preferred Hts Pipe to the So
cioty OF the Natives.

News from the happy and drowsy little oom-
munity on Pitcairn Island arrived yesterday
by the American ship vigilant from Yokohama.
Capt. Bailey says that two boats. each with
eight natives aboard. rowed out to the ship on
Nov. . to swap the juicy products OF the ISL
and for merchandise. The natives didn't
seem to care what was going on In the troub-
lous world beyond their horizon. but they
were willing to tell all about themselves, and
took 1t for granted that everybody outside
would be Interested In them. They seemed to
be absolutely happy. even II they hadn't had
any rain for two years.
About Elk months ago o shipwrecked sailor
pnmed Coffin landed on the island. He had u
pipe and enough tobacco to last him a month
or more. He was politely informed by tho
Chief Magistrate that the use Of tobacco and
Intoxicating drink was not permitted by the
Coffin was told that IL he wanted to minGle
with the community he would have to stop
smoking. lie decided to go and flock with his
pipe on q plateau lar away from the settle
mont. A ship took him of about q week later.
Capt. Bailey says the Pitcairn folk fear that
the volcano on the island Is going to break out
and give them trouble. but they do not lose
any sleep over 1t.
About iifty-six ships call ut the island every
year. Most of them are bound to or from CALI
fornia ports Everybody WAS healthy. robust,
and cheerful when the Vigllant, was there.
The Pitcairn people are descendants OF the
mutineers OF the British ship county and the
native women.
