Abstract
Within recent years there has been a marked return of interest in
the remote islands of the Pacific, since these islands have now acquired
a strategic value on account of the Empire and Pan-American Flying
Routes. In the following pages an attempt has been made to link up
their history with the development of the guano industry from Hobart
Town by the ships employed by the late Hon. W. L. Crowther, F.R.C.S.,
C.M.Z.S. in his whaling and timber interests.
