One of the settlers of Sunday Island, in the Kermadec Group (Mr Stratford, for merly of Napierj is at present in Auckland, and is endeavouring to induce the Government to promote settlement on the island by dividing the available land into suitable sections. Those who left this Colony in the schooner Dunedin to take up their abode at Suuday Island are already prospering, but there is room for an additional 200 people, and when settlement has advanced sufficiently, it is the intention to secure regular communication with the Island.. The settlers have built good houses, and are thoroughly contented in their island home. They spend many pleasant hours in social merry-making, singing and music. Christmas concerts and other amusements were held.
