JAPAN AND KOREA.

LIFE AT PITCAIRN ISLAND. Landing was made at Bounty Bay, Pitcairn Island, on December 18th, after a ducking in the surf. and the shipwrecked crew had a warm recep- tion from the people. After a steep climb of some 400 feet a veritable Garden of Eden was revealed. Here everyone offered hospitality, to the sailors.
