UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Perhaps the day will come when
you will make a sea voyage from
Brazil to the West Central Coast of
Africa. If you do so, there's little
island you might visit on the way
across
Ascension Island is the one of
which I speak. 1t is about halfway
across the Atlantic. and is not far
from St. Helena
If you had visited Ascension Island
a century and half ago, you would
not have found any people there.
There would have been some wild
life-turtles and birds-but no set
tiers.
AT the time Napoleon was taken
to. st. Helena as a prisoner the
British decided to send soldiers to
Ascension Island 1t was thought
this would help guard against any
effort of the French leader to escape.
Since that time. the island has
been settled to certain extent Tt
has about 200 people, most of them
white soldiers and Negroes who
came over from Liberia
Volcanoes played a part in build
ing up Ascension Island. To this
day great beds of hard lava cover

on the island today.
In the past l25 years a few of the
valleys and ravines have been
planted with grass. Cattle and
sheep Craze on pasture lands which
have been obtained in this way. A
small part of one square mile is used
for raising vegetables.
Rabbits and goats have been
brought to the island Some of these
escaped, and now there are wild
goats and rabbits. I
Yet turtles and birds still make I'D
most of the wild life. Thousands of
sea turtles swim to the shore and
climb up the banks to lay their eggs.
The "wide-awake birds" also lay
eggs on Ascension Island. Most OF
their time they spend flying over the
ocean, looking for fish, but at nest
ing time they 60 back to their island
home.
Vast numbers of frigate birds have
colonies on the same island. With
out building nests, they lay their
eggs on the ground.
