P.) — The island of Tristan da Cunha is described as "an unspoiled haven ot rest for the weary soul, a Mecca for those who long for relief from wor­ ries of life,” by the chaplain of the British cruiser Dartmouth which has just returned from a visit to that iso­ lated spot. “No need to worry over money there for there is none," said the chaplain. "There are no taxes, no doctors, no lawyers, no clergymen, no policemen, not even a head man. Newspapers and mail arrive with luck about once every two years. "There is not even any medicine, for the last supply ot remedies was thrown into the sea by the lnhabi- tants. who art, remarkably healthy, Epidemics are unknown. ’ “Tristan is a British possession in the South Atlantic between South Africa and South America. Its snow- cKPPbd peak towers nearly 8,000 feet above sea level. It Is only 21 miles in circumference. The near­ est inhabited place is St. Helena. 1200 miles away. The Island itself is volcanic origin, the only habitable portion of it being a tongue of fer­ tile land at the foot of the precipitous cliffs. "Sufficient potatoes are grown in plots to meet the needs of the inhab­ itants. Cattle and sheep were intro­ duced years ago and many cattle now run wild. Clothes are only to be ob­ tained by bartering from ships that call. For protection to the feet the people make moccasins of bullock hide. Wonderful socks are made by the women from wool carded by themselves. "From June to October of this year the people had been without bread, tea, coffee and sugar, but they all looked pretty well nourished." The reason there is no bread Is that 50 or 60 years ago a shipwreck near the Island allowed rata to get ashore eo that since that time no wheat has been raised. But the men say that they are going to try again when the next mail In a year or two bringB them some seed wheat. In the meantime, they are in no hurry; if there isn’t bread they can be con­ tented on potatoes. And. to supple­ ment their potatoes, fish are abund­ ant, and cattle, and birds with their eggs, and seals. They want for many things, says the chaplain, neverthe­ less "there appears to be little dis­ content and few ever wish to leave the Island.”
