PITCAIRN MEN VISIT CITY FOR FIRST TIME.
WILL MAKE TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND. (Special to the “ Star.”) AUCKLAND. December 3. Two young men beheld a city for the first time in their lives yesterday. They were born and broupht up on Pitcairn Island, and came to Auckland as third-class passengers on the Rotorua, which arrived from Southampton. The young men are direct descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty. They do not intend to remain idle during their stay in the Dominion. They are uncertain how long they will remain here, but they propose to tour New Zealand and gain further experience by working. Although not skilled tradesmen, both are handy with a kit of carpenter’s tools and their island life has made them generally useful.
