Relic Of The "Bounty"

This "yoller" stone is believed to have come from Tahiti with the women who left there with the "Bounty" mutineers.

Cut from coral —scored criss cross—it was and still is used to break hard, uncooked vegetables before cooking them. The indentations at each side are where the stone fitted into a wooden stand. The stone is owned by Ivy Buf fett, of Norfolk Island, and was loaned recently to Mr. Leonard Moran, of the Polynesian Association of Sydney. —Tele-Photo
