B.S.I. Temple
p. 42 · Read in the full issue
Letter to the Editor |N connection with an idea in which I am I interested, I should be very grateful if any of your readers could supply me with information relating to a ruined temple in the British Solomon Islands.
I have been informed that this beautiful ruin was visited some 35 years ago by an old sea captain, now dead, and that he took several photographs of it. It is said to be situated not far from a mission station. The local natives
will not go up to the actual ruins because, as is often the case elsewhere, they believe them to be devil-haunted.
There appears to be a village not far from the ruins where the women have long straight hair and do a kind of embroidery, like the Portugese women. These villagers also have aquiline noses.
Hoping that some P.LM. subscribers may be able to help me.
I am. etc..
