MISS YOUNG, although a native daughter of Pitcairn Island, wields a facile pen, and tells with all the ease and grace of those whose opportunities for education have been better than hers, a most interesting and truthful story of Pitcairn, the far-away "Gem of the Pacific."
Beginning with the account of the mutiny on board the Bounty, she relates the story of the arrival at Pitcairn, describes the experiences of the survivors, tells of the removal to Norfolk Island and the return to Pitcairn again, describes the wreck of the Cornwallis and of the Oregon, gives an account of the various missionary efforts put forth by different denominations in behalf of the Pitcairners, and finally the arrival of the missionary ship Pitcairn and the conversion of the islanders to a new and unpopular religion.
The book is embellished with
18 FULL-PAGE HALF-TONE ENGRAVINGS
made from original photographs, and contains 256 pages. In addition to its being a reliable history of Pitcairn Island, this book will certainly prove a valuable acquisition to the missionary literature of the day.
