MAN IS SEEKING VOLE
OF HIS GOLDEN DREAMS
PAPEETE, Tahiti, Jan. SI.—Among j
the many curious characters' who:
have be.m attracted to the South
Seas of late is a .voting man who
landed from the steerage of a pass-!
ins steamer, bringing with hint as'
sole worldly possessions a haver-1
sack, a pair of dung&ree trousers, a
shirt, a pickaxe and an umbrella,
'lie latter, apparently, his most prized
possession.
He intends to nail for the Mar
quesas Islands, whore he will settle
on a barren, uninhabited islet where
his only companions will be wild
dogs and wild goats. The only
water on the island is a small trickle
from the cliff at the top of a deep
ravine. There are few, if any, food
hearing plants. The people are
curious to know how he will find
subsistence.
Up to the present time he has
found no one willing , to transport
hint to the island of his dreams. He
is passing his time roaming about
the island of Hivaoa and sleeping on
the beach under his umbrella. He
seeks no human companionship nor
has anyone discovered his identity or
his home city.
