CASTAWAYS ARE
MAROONEDFOR
LONG PERIOD
PAPEETE, Tahiti, Jan. 8 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Two white men and a
native, clothed in rags and suffering
' from lack of food, have been rescued
from Christmas island after having
been cut off from the outside world
for eighteen months, according to
press advices to Auckland which were
brought here recently.
The warship New Zealand, which
made the rescue, was taken by the
castaways for a German cruiser, as
they had not heard that the war was
ended, and when a landing party, in
cluding Admiral Viscount Jellicoe,
went ashore, it was held up by a Mr.
English, leader of the trio, at the point
of a revolver, newspaper reports said.
The three men had been left on the
* island by the lessee, Father Rougier,
who is well known in Tahiti, with a
scant supply of provisions and a prom
ise that a relieving ship would be sent
within forty days, according to the
Fanning island correspondent of the
Auckland Weekly News.
"The landing party, which included
Lord Jellicoe,” the correspondent con
tinued, was held up by English, clad
only in a tattered pair of shorts
patched with a rice bag. Lord Jelli
coe was amused at the comical spec
tacle presented of holding up a war
ship with a revolver, although he was
personally interested in the hardships
suffered by the party. He had a long
talk with English, and Lady Jellicoe
read his diary.
"The irony of the situation of the
marooned men was that they were in
Jossession of three automobiles need
id for traversing the long distances be
tween the scattered cocoanut groves.
The unfortunates had means of trav
eling in luxury, yet no clothes, no
food and no comforts.
"Rats swarmed everywhere, and at
first they devoured the pillows and
blankets while the men slept. English
said he would gladly have exchanged
the automobiles for a clean shirt and
trousers.
"The diary which English kept all
the time he was on the island con
tains some entries pathetic in their
hopelessness. Day by day he was
longing and praying for a ship to re
lieve distress of the party. Ill health
from exposure and the wretchedness
^of the 'food nearly drove the men crazy
and they would have been unable to
exist for many more weeks.”
It is said that steps are immedi
aftly to be taken to have Father Rou
gier’s conduct at Christmas island in
vestigated by the British high com
missioner of the Pacific, Christmas
island being a British possession.

ill: 5 I &
It is something different from
the usual laundry service —
and its cost is very moderate.
When our driver brings us
your family bundle, we wash
everything, using from nine to
twelve changes of pure, soft
water and suds of mild white
soap. We dry the clothes
without wringing or flapping
on the iine—a spin in our
magic basket and a few min
utes in a gentle breeze of
warm, clean air, does it.
Then we iron the flat pieces,
like the bed clothes and table
linens. Such other pieces as
require it, we starch,
•
Finally, we wrap them all in
a package and deliver them to
you immaculate—leaving only
a small amount of the ironing
for you to do yourself.
Could anything be simpler?
All of the heaviest and most
unpleasant work of washday |
is done by us. Only the light
est duties are left to you. i
-i-.
You will be pleasantly sur- |
prised, too, at the reasonable- §
ness of the cost.

But more important still, you 1
will find immense relief in f
having no smelly Mondays to I
live tnrough, no irksome labor |
over the scrubboard and no f
weekly troubles with clothes I
lines and soot. I

If you will telephone, write or I
visit us, we will be glad to tell
you more about this service. §
Or better, leave us your ad- §
dress and we will have our I
driver call at once for your |
family bundle. |
