A MEMORY OF THE BOUNTY
The famous film of the Mutiny of the Bounty has been round the world, and few people can have been more thrilled by it than a doctor at Inglewood, New Zealand. This doctor, Ernest Nutting, is the great-grandson of Captain Bligh, and every action of his ancestor in that little boat on its 3t>lß miles voyage through the Southern Seas must have made a special appeal to him, because he had at home the compass by which Captain Bligh steered, the gourd made out of the shell of a coconut from which he ate his scanty food, and the tiny cup, fashioned from the born of an animal, with which he measured the precious gill of water for each of his men three times a day. Treasured heirlooms all, and how fittitig that they should be owned by a descendant who lives on an island set in that ocean in which Captain Bligh made his immortal voyage.
