Mutiny”
THE above was a humorous caption that appeared in an Australian newspaper on May 25, and the following was the “news” item, cabled from New York: “There is talk of mutiny among thei descendants of the Bounty mutineers on Pitcairn Island. Messrs. G. P. Lindley and L. S. Bellem, wireless engineers, who have just installed a broadcasting ana
receiving station on Pitcairn Island, say that the younger islanders have become restless after hearing the broadcasts and want to see the Broadway night clubs and dance the Big Apple”.
Mr Lindley said: “The young folks are anxious to go places and see things.
No wonder, for the monotony of life on the island is deadly”.
