David B. O'Keefe, king of the small
islands zap, Ola and st. David, which
are about 300 miles from Pelew, has
had an adventurous career, says the
London Leader
He is by birth an Irishman, by nat
uralization an American, and is 68
years of age. When he settled at zap
he married a native princess, who is
shrewd woman and rules when he is
away.
The islands over which he rules are
his by right of discovery and the &C
quiescence of the native rulers, and
may become the cause of complica-
lions. He holds them against the
rival claims of Spain and Holland.
Over his islands he floats the stars and
stripes, and on his single trading
schooner he flies the union jack.
O'Keefe is known In Hong-Kong as
the copra king. He has accumulated
an immense fortune in the cocoanut
trade, and is a millionaire aside from
his claim to the islands. He wishes to
sell his territory either to the United
States or England.
O'Keefe has complete control over
his chiefs, and has suppressed the.
slave traffic which used to be carried
