TRAVELETTE
ISLAND on FHTgFAY.
BY NIKSAH.

lust Off the southern coast Of Scot
land the tiny island OF Erislay
rises abruptly from the sea as
rocky and barren a bit OF land as
even the Scottish coast can show. The
rough waters OF the Atlantic beat an
grily against its steep, gray walls. or
rush madly up the white sanded beach
OF the western coast Stormy winds
sweep the tiny island from coast 10
coast in uubridled fury. Nature
seems TO cast herseIf IN accumulated
rage against Erlskay's few sparse
acres.
The defenseIess victim OF storm and
sea. this tiny scrap OF an Island Is
pathetic IN its utter solitude It IS
the hermit Of the northern Atlantic,
the recluse among Islands. Its people.
chiefly descendants OF Jacobite refu-
gees from Scotland. are a quiet folk
the ocean has taught them 70 en-
dure in silence.
The treacherous rocks along the
shore are the terror OF the sailors OF
that part OF the Atlantic. They dread
and shun them Ike they would avoid
wild beasts
Yet the island. barren and desc
late, is sacred TO every Scotchman.
The sandy. windswept beach is holy
ground to his heart. Histcry tells how
Prince Charlie. the hero OF Scottish
song and story. landed here when he
came 70 recover his fathers kingdom
The descendants OF his faithful fol-
lowers stiu call the tiny inlet the
Princes Bay"
The people fish and raise diminu-
tive hens for their eggs, but even a
hardy Scotchman would hesitate be-
fore attempting to eat an Eriskay
chicken for his sunday dinner.

The spectacle of those Yankee soldiers playing with

Have we ever heard of those Germans showing SIM
