Three Books and a Film
From Our Own Correspondent.
Papeete, May 17.
AMONG the passengers who left Tahiti for America on the Maunganui was Mr. James Norman Hall, the famous, novelist, who was wrecked a few months ago on Crescent Island on his return voyage from Pitcairn.
Mr. Hall, in collaboration with his friend, Charles Nordhoff, has just finished the third and last of the three books on the Bounty episode. Two of them, “Mu tiny,” and “Men Against the Sea,” have already been published, and the third, which describes the mutineers’ life on Pit cairn, will be out soon. Mr. Hall intends to take a few months’ holiday in America and Europe before returning to Tahiti.
His residence in Arue has been rented in the meantime to Lady Hadfield.
Well authenticated news has been re ceived from America that the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer Corporation will shortly be sending a company to Tahiti to film Messrs. Hall and Nordhoff’s story of the Bounty mutineers.
