ALL KNOCK-KNEED
A STRANGE AND SHY PEOPLE. Pictures of the shyest, people in the world have reached London by way of Croydon Aerodrome in the kit of Mr and Mrs Martin Johnson, the explorers. These strange natives live on a rocky island on the borders of Abyssinia. “There are only 70 in the tribe, and their homo is many hundreds of miles from its nearest neighbours. They live on fish alone. Their average height is 4ft. Gin. “They are all knock-kneed and their limbs are deformed.” “One of our pictures,” Mr Johnson said, “was taken from the plane while it was surrounded by a dozen lions. While I took the picture my wife threw a bag of white flour in the face of one splendid lion who came nearer to us than we liked.”
