Environment:Marble Island

"...Rae and I travelled to Marble Island, about 50 miles south of Chesterfield.  There's a much smaller island nearby, called Deadman Island...During the 1860s, when American whalers were using it as a base, many men died there, and were buried under big mounds of stones."
