CUEVAS ISLAND, PUERTO RICO.-A Spanish Robinson Crusoe lives in this deserted island off the southwestern coast of the U. S. Territory of Puerto Rico.
The only other human inhabitant is a darky corresponding to his man Friday. He also has a faithful dog.
His name is Salustiano—no one seems to know his last name—and he does not like human beings very much. His main companions are wild goats, and he lives by fishing and growing sea island cotton.
His shaving brush is made from the shell of a 20-gauge shotgun, tufted with bristles of the sea cotton.
He has a house without tables or chairs. His only accommodation for guests who might drop in on a fishing boat are six hammocks.
