Describes
People
and
Habits
of
Residents
on
Piteairn
and
Norfolk
Islands
An
interesting
description
of
the
people
and
life
of
the
Polynesians,
and
particularly
of
Piteairn
and
Norfolk
Islands,
was
given
before
the

Club
at
the
weekly

In

yesterday.

presiding,
by
Roy
Van-
'dersluys,
who
spent
a
good
deal
of
time
in
those
waters
a
few
years
ago
on
the
Anglican
mission
steamer
John
Williams.
During
that
time
he
visited
every
Inhabited
Island
ha
the
Pacific.
Piteairn,
Mr.
Vandersluys
described,
as
a
tiny
atoll
with
an
area
of
only
two
square
miles.
Not
many
people
lived
there,
the
mutineer
from
the
Bounty
having
been
removed
to
Norfolk
Island
where
their
descendants
still
lived.
Pit-calm
Island
produced
such
things
as
lettuce,
radishes,
tropical
fruits
cabbages
and
other
articles
of
diet,
In
exchange
for
these
they
secured
from
visiting
ships
lumber
and
other
material
for
building
boats
and
houses.
No
timber
to
amount
to
anything
grew
on
the
Island
Money
had
no
value
to
them
and
was
not
used.
On
Norfolk
Island
everything
was
kept
orderly
with
something
of
military
precision.
The
descendents
of
the
mutineers
were
a
fine
type
of
people.
The
natives
there
use
a
drink
known
as
"kava
kava"
which
causes
a
partial
paralysis
of
the
body
and
this
was
one
of
the
factors
causing
trouble
between
whites
and
natives.
