Island Pioneers

Mr. and Mrs. Fraser, of Epi, N.H.

T’HE accompanying photo, shows two Island pioneers, who recently cele brated their silver wedding—Mr. and Mrs.

A. Donald Fraser, of Oue La Wea Bay, Epi, New Hebrides.

Mrs. Fraser came out to the Islands as a very young woman, in 1897 and, apart from two short visits to Sydney, has never been farther afield than New Caledonia.

Mr. Fraser has also been some 27 years in the Islands, without returning to the civilization of Australia or New Zealand.

All these years they have resided on Epi, which last year was seriously dam aged by two successive hurricanes.

In spite of their long residence, and all the recent setbacks they have experienced, they are still full of vigour and optimism. —R.B.
