Nassauans Take a Holiday

p. 92 · Read in the full issue

LATE in August the population of Nassau Island, Northern Cooks, was planning a mass holiday to neighbouring Puka Puka, 45 miles away.

It will be recalled that the Puka Pukans purchased Nassau several

years ago from the Administration and that about 100 of them were then settled on the island which had been uninhabited since the war.

They plan to avail themselves of the first shipping opportunity and will remain at Puka Puka for a couple of months, before returning to their new home.
