Group seeking Pacific tax haven

London: November will see the departure, headed by Mr Rhodes Disher FRGS, of a mixed party, all professional or businessmen, including clergymen, and some taking their wives and families, who are seeking a blessed taxless isle in the South Seas, where they intend to live a happy, simple life, ‘‘forgetting taxes and by the taxmaster forgot”. The leader has been inundated with applications from thousands of other disgruntled taxpayers. The party have purchased the schooner yacht Medora, commanded by Captain Charles Kerry, a notable mariner who has rounded Cape Horn 13 times.

They will journey until an island is secured. Meanwhile they will live aboard in perfect freedom. One golden rule is that politics are banned.
