Dentures ' adventures

Eighteen months ago, when Pitcairn islanders were putting out in one of their famous long boats to meet a passing ship, a massive wave overturned their craft. The crew was thrown into the sea and two of them, includ ing their radio spokesman Tom Christian, were seriously injured.

Another, Ivan Christian, lost his false teeth as he hit the water.

The sea delivered up the den tures a few weeks ago. They were spotted by a Pitcairner while fishing in the sea. “They’re kinda worn, like maybe a shark tried them for size, but Ivan says they’re still usable,” Tom Christian told the Seventh-day Adventist’s radio centre in Cali fornia.
