  IV. A MAN THAT HAD A WELL IN HIS OWN COURT XXI. INJURIOUS REPORTS CONCERNING AN OLD HOUSE Title: Three Years in Tristan da Cunha Author: K. M. Barrow Edition: 10 Language: English Produced by Eric Eldred, Charles Bidwell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team [Illustration: THE SETTLEMENT] THREE YEARS IN TRISTAN DA CUNHABYK. M. BARROW Wife of the Rev. J. G. Barrow, Missionary Clergyman in Tristan Da Cunha and fellow-worker with him on that island. With thirty-seven original illustrations from photographs, and a map. TO THE READERThe aim of the following pages is to give a simple and true description of daily life among a very small community cut off from the rest of the world. No attempt is made at literary style, the language being almost entirely that of letters to a sister or of my journal. In the first and third chapters free use has been made of the Blue Book I desire gratefully to acknowledge to Mr. Casper Keytel of Monille Point, Cape Town, his very kind permission to use the excellent photographs taken by him; and also my indebtedness to my husband for help in the revision of these pages.
