i PacficIsleI
y Capt. Bradley
LL.B. here in 1932, wrote that the
only relief from the heat in the
South Pacific was a shower of cold
salt water. The effect of a salt water
shower was the same as rubbing with
a cake of paraffin, he wrote and
added, "I don't know whether it is
best to be hot and wet or somewhat
cool and sticky."
For a time Capt. Bradley wondered
why he could find no Presbyterian
Church in the area, but he discovered
that- in 1820 the Presbyterians and
the Congregationalists made an
agreement, whereby the Congrega-
tional Church took over the mission-
ary work on that island and the
Presbyterians got exclusive jurisdic-
tion of another one.

Life ona Souti
Is Described b
A ferris wheel at a native fai, salt
water showers, and the absence of
Presbyterian churches on a South
Pacific island were described in a
letter from Captain George S. Brad-
ley, '30, to Robert O. Morgan, as-
sistant general secretary of Alumni
Association.
The fair, held on a Fiji Island, con-
sisted of a number of small tents for
fortune telling and concessions. Capt.
Bradley's attention was taken by "one
of the most unusual contraptions I
have ever seen in my life," the four-
seated ferris wheel. It was built of
rough-hewn timber and was about 29
feet high. A large crank operated
by hand kept the wheel going around.
