The Pacific
Back in July, 1961, when the Danish schooner "Noona Dan" (pictured) was in Suva at the start of a scientific expedition in the Pacific, PIM reported that there was a film photographer on board by the name of Arvid Klemensen who planned to write two books on his experiences with the expedition.
Well, Mr. Klemensen has now produced the first of his two books. It is called "Strange Island" and it describes life among native people in the Philippines; at Mussau Island, in the Bismarck Archipelago of New Guinea; and in the Bainings area of New Britain, etc.
The book is a most attractive production with 31 beautiful illus trations in colour. But like many such productions, the text does not match up to the book's appear ance, and it is seriously marred by numerous errors in the spelling of proper names. —RL
