PEDESTRIANS “PARADISE”

There are no “silent cops’* or parking restrictions at Easter Island, and motor casualties are unheard of. Reason—this lonely spot, 2,500 miles away from the nearest mainland, has only one motor-car. Lieut.-Col. H. J. Kel®all, in a letter to the “Daily Mail,” states that this motor-car belongs to the manager of a cattle ranch. He says: “When I was there it was running with the tyres stuffed with sheep’s wool, as the supply of inner tubes had run out owing to the annual schooner from Valparaiso being months overdue. I travelled some miles in it over the very rough cart tracks, which are the only roads in the island, and it got along wonderfully well, although one tyre came off and we had to tie it on with rope.”
