A tremendous story from Futility Closet:
"…The natives took the pilot’s pistol and papers, and then endured a week’s terror as he roamed the island trying to retrieve them. Ni’ihau had no electricity or telephones, so the desperate natives tried signalling Kauai with lanterns and a bonfire and finally sent a party to row the laborious 10 hours for help…."
This is a very special blog. I don't know where he finds such material- unpredictably surprising material...
