Ocean Island is a tiny dot, two miles long, in the middle of the Pacific. Until 1900, a few thousand Banabans lived there, a peaceful community following their fishing, their tilling and their pagan rites under the tropic sun. Then it was discovered that they were sitting on one of the richest deposits of phosphate in the world. Now, there are just a few barren coral pinnacles of mined-out wasteland. |
