THE LONELY ISLAND.—Arrangements have now been completed for the evacuation of the tiny Island of St. Kilda, a lonely Speck off the coast of Scotland, and in less than three months it will be uninhabited. At present there are 40 souls on the island and the majority of them will find homes at Hull. Sheep, numbering 1,200, will also be transported to the mainland. For years the St. Kilda mail, posted in a bottle and allowed to drift to the coast of Scotland, has been a curiosity of the British postal service. Photograph shows the island from the sea.
