Sunday Island
A N Auckland syndicate is preparing to sell shares at £4O each, each share entitling the holder to four acres of land on Sunday Island, in the Kermadec group (between New Zealand and Tonga).
Sunday Island is a very pleasant and fertile place, but it is isolated and dif ficult of access by steamers. There is not even a protected anchorage. The N.Z.
Minister for Lands (Mr. Langstone, who led the “goodwill mission” to Samoa last year) has issued a “public warning” against the syndicate because there is “little chance of direct communication” with the island. One cannot escape the reflection that Sunday Island is not a bit more isolated than scores of other Pacific islands where Europeans live quite happily.
