Tourist Hotel
Planned for
|Crusoe's Isle


SANTIAGO, Chile. - That
childhood dream to do like Rob-
inson Crusoe and rough it on
some deserted island may become
a reality soon If Chile pushes its
plans to make the site Of Daniel
Defoe's novel a tourist play
ground.
The island, which actually is
known as Juan Fernandez, lies
about $50 miles off the coast Of
Chile and has changed little
since Robinson Crusoe and his
man Friday had it all to them
selves. At present there are close
to 600 inhabitants, most Of them
Spanish, French and English
descent, whose ancestry can be
traced back to the pirates who
used to rendezvous here.
But the pleasant year-around
climate, the exceptional beauty
Of the island, which Defoe de-
scribed but never saw, and its
romantic and adventurous past,
make it a tourist attraction with
out equal.
Somewhat of the beaten path,
Robinson Crusoe's hideaway Is
three hours by plane or three
days by fast train and boat from
Santiago, now less than 18 hours
by plane from the States.
The site Of Defoe's classic had
been the subject of bitter contro-
versy for some years, but there
is ample evidence to indicate
that Juan Fernandez and not
some unknown island in the
Caribbean, was the locale for
the celebrated novel. Blanca Luz
Brum, noted Uruguayan writer,
who has just returned from Juan
Fernandez. supports this theory
and is now working on a book,
"The Last Robinson" which she
believes will give the true facts
Of the case.
Besides the Robinson Crusoe
legend, Juan Fernandez Island
is noted for its colorful and ad-
venturous past as the place where
pirate ships and the Spanish
armada played hide and seek.
Here, British pirates used to put
in for fresh water and vegetables
which they would plant on the
island to safeguard themselves
against scurvy, and feast on wild
goat, which even to this day are
plentiful.
Here also the German battle
ship Dresden Of World War I
fame lies in 70 fathoms of water,
at the bottom of Cumberland
Bay. And several cannon and
other pieces of artillery from an
ancient Spanish fort are omi-
nous reminders of the blood
and-thunder history of this
idyllic little island.
And, of course, where there
were pirates there had to be
pirate treasure, and so it's not
strange that there is also a leg
end of hidden treasure on the
island, which not a few have
tried to discover.
: Other curiosities about the is
land are the sandal trees which
are said to be found nowhere
else but in India; the Ell Yungue
Mountain, which, though only
1000 feet high, is one of the most
difficult mountains to climb; the
unique and varied plant life
which has sent botanists scurry-
ing here from all over the world;
the excellent medicinal proper
ties of its waters, and some Of
the finest fishing in the world.
Goldfish here weigh over 200
pounds and Holsters are not only
plentiful but the biggest found
anywhere.
Now that the government is
contemplating a good Swiss-type
hotel to blend with the islands
pastoral landscape and better
transportation facilities from the
mainland, it's not too far
fetched to believe that Robinson
Crusoe's refuge could conceiv-
ably become a popular tourist
playground.
