Island Returned To Flora And Fauna
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, April 18. The 26,400-acre island of Rhum. in the inner Hebrides, for 68 years ruled by a wealthy English family who banned all but their own and their estate workers’ guests from exploring it, has become public property and declared a natural reserve. After a colonisation which has lasted for perhaps 10,000 or 15,000 years the island has been formally turned over to the animals, birds, and vegetation which have, mfact, dominated it for the last century. . ♦
