Bread-fruit and cocoanuts grow tolerably
but sweet potatoes, yams, bananas and pine
apples flourish exceedingly.
There are so many rats upon the island
that corn and wheat. which would otherwise
do well, cannot be raised.
Pitcairn's Island was named after MD
shipman who first saw it from the masthead
of Captain Carteret's vessel, in 1867. 1t was
then uninhabited, but stone axes, sculptured
stones and skeletons buried with shell orna-
ments, show that at some previous time 1t
had been inhabited by members of the Poly
nesan race, although it is one OF the most re-
mote OF the groups in that great ocean.
The manner in which it was reinhabited is
most curious.
In 1883, Lieutenant Bligh, who had served
with Captain Cook, was sent by the English
Government, in the ship Bounty, to convey
from Tahiti to the West India Islands young
bread fruit trees, to be planted in the latter
place.
After leaving Tahiti, a mutiny occurred on
board the Bounty, and Bligh and number
of his officers and crew were set adrift in a
boat by the mutineers, and after great suffer
ings and privations, made his way to Timor,
an island in the Dutch East Indies, dis
tance of nearly four thousand miles. Thence
he reached home, was sent out in another
and took them to their destination. He lived
to see much service in war, and died an ad
miral.
The leader of the mutineers, Fletcher Chris
tian, was an officer, and could navigate, and
he took the Bounty, with twenty-four Of her
left them, for fear of being captured, and
with nine white men, six native men and
eleven native women, sailed for an unknown
island, and finally fixed upon Pitcairn. As
soon as they had landed the stores and people,
Christian burnt the Bounty.
Those of the mutineers who remained in
Tahiti were captured, as soon as Bligh's party
could send vessel after them, and taken to
England and hanged.
But to return to Pitcairn Island. As soon
horrible life, of drunkenness quarrels and
murder, and by the year 1900 all the men
we're dead but one-John Adams, whose real
name was Alexander Smith.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-18
c. CURIOUS COM VI L NIT Y

He had truly repented of his misdeeds, and
trled to make atonement for them by INSTRUCT
ing the half-breed youths who had been born
there in the Bible and elementary learning,
from books brought from the Bounty. He
established strict patriarchal rule, acting as
magistrate and clergyman, and succeeded IN
forming community OF unusual morality and
entirely untainted with the world.
By mere accident this remarkable colony
was discovered by Captain Folger, OF the
American ship Topaz in 1908. His report
seems not to have reached England, probably
on account Of our war with that country soon
after; and in 1918 they were again accidental
ly discovered by two English ships.
AT that time the colony consisted of forty
six persons, mostly young couples and their
children, all born on the island, fine, healthy
people, very modest and well-behaved. All
of them had the most marked English feat
ures.
The patriarch, John Adams, was still alive,
and, in fact, he did not die until 1880.
Then missionary named Nobbs was made
head man and pastor OF the community,
which continued extremely moral and relig-
ious.
About this time the inhabitants numbered
eighty-seven, and the question of drinking
water became so pressing that the whole col
ony voluntarily removed to Tahiti; but neith
er the climate nor the morals of the people
there suited them, and the next year they all
returned to their beloved native island and
their neat village.
A crazy adventurer, named Hill, went with
them, and, because he was a so-called clergy
man, these simple people allowed him to tyr
ranize over them, until, in 1888, he was re-
moved by the captain of man-of.war
In 1856 the population consisted of thirty
married couples and one hundred and thirty
four young people, and the same cause which
had led them to emigrate before caused the
community to go in a body to Norfolk Island,
leaving upon Pitcairn the goats and cattle
which they had raised from those left them by
ships in former years.
But they regretted their quiet home, and in
1898 William and Moses Young and their
families, and many others, returned to Pit
cairn, so that, when visited in 1878, there
were sixteen families living there.
No contagious diseases, either of men OF
cattle, ever visited the island, and the people
were most robust.
They had governor, elected by themselves,
both sexes voting, if over seventeen. They
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-18

still used old John Adams code of laws
which were very simple, and against which
they never offended There seemed to be per-
feet harmony and contentment, and they were
an eminently religious people.
No liquor was allowed to be used, and the
children are taught reading, writing, arithme-
tic and Scripture history, sewing, hat-making
and singing in parts. The only language
spoken is English. They keep the Sabbath
very strictly
As the island will apparently support not
more than one hundred people comfortably,
it is probable that, in future, those who want
the, excitement of the world will leave there,
and those remain who are satisfied with their
tranquil life. In this way, if nothing unfore-
seen in their lot takes place, we may see a
community entirely different from any other
in all the world-governed by moral law,
without use for money, and free from most of

'"But don't you have anything to eat?"
asked Tab almost in despair.
"On, certainly! Come under the kitchen.
There are several nice crusts under there,
and bone or two"
Hungry as she was, Tab had no fancy for
crusts, nor bones either, unless there was
plenty of meat on them.
Don't you have any cream or new milll?"
she asked, discontentedly.
Not drop! Bless youl I'd be glad to
have skim-milk or even buttermik now; but
that all goes to the pigs. However, here's the
crusts. Just help yourself"
Being quite hungry, Tab clawed out Big

when Bow! WOW! wow!" barked Snapper,
the big dog, making dive under the kitchen.
Mrs. Grimalkin quickly flew up the butter

Snapper had given up the chase long ago,
and gone home, but Tab still dashed mady
along, helter-skelter tumbling into bitches
and scrambling out again, tired and hungry,
yet not daring to stop, nor scarcely taking
time to breathe.
1t was almost sundown, and Granny Griggs
was just dshing up the apple-sauce and cot

"Bless mel" cried Granny. "The cats been

Tab made straight for the blue-edged sau-
Ger and Tapped up every drop of the milk she
had shifted at in the morning.
"Ah!" thought she, as she licked out the
saucer and wiped her mouth on her paw,
what could be better than skim milk, after
all?'
Then she cured herself around on her COM
