DRIVEN FROM THE KERMADECS.
SOLE RESIDENTS LEAVE. Tired of their stiff fight against t!i& forces of Nature, the only inhabitants of Sunday Island in the Kcrmadecs (the Bell family) have fled the scene. Captain Hooper, of the Government training ship Amokura, in reporting at the Great Barrier, states that while at the Kcrmadccs this trip, the family in question informed him that they had gone through a very strenuous time since the Amokura , s visit in April, 1910. Soon after the vessel left, a huge waterspout broke on the island and ruined everything. All the crops were destroyed, and the buildings were very much damaged. The party begged Captain Hooper to take ihcm off the island, \iecauso they had had practically nothing to eat for a whole year, and were in a very precarious condition. Their request was decoded to.
