Hard working and intelligent, he bids to renounce civilization and spend the rest Of his life cut off from all human contact on a lonely Pacific islet. There, 13,000 miles from Cop- enhagen's twinkling lights and cigar -smoking girls, he intends to live after the style of his Stone Age ancestors. He will not set up stone quit circles to worship the sun, or indulge in sacrificial rites, but cling to his own peculiar in- terpretation of Christianity. His name "Tavi" is the Poly- nesian substitute for his baptis- mal name; his adoption of it sym- bolizes his renunciation of his European upbringing. It means blood brother of Maui—the leg endary fisher up of islands from the Pacific's coral -haunted deeps The young Dane's conversion to Stone Age "simplicities" repro. sents no sudden fanaticism. For eight years, since graduating in engineering science at Copenhag- en University in 1945, he has been working steadily totvards his goal, First, he saved up sufficient to emigrate to the U.S.A. In San Francisco, he savoured modern civilization's "delights"—its speed craziness, cinematic artificiali- ties and press -button comforts— but found all such diversions devilish. "The atomic age is bankrupt," he announced. "I tremble for its future, Civilized society will be man's ruin, unless he escapes from it and rediscovers, before it is too late, his true -destined affin- ity with Nature, her works and God -inspired sublirnities." He bought a 26 -foot sloop and set sail, with an American friend, to discover a perfect island re- treat. The two sailed first via the Marquesas to Tahiti, then to the Cook Islands, the Tongan Group • and Fills, They lived on coco- nuts, fruits and vegetables. The prospect of voluntary ex• ile proved too daunting for Kauff- r• •r's friend, :Fie quit. Undeter- red, the Dane decided to pursue his experiment lone -handed. Wisely, he set about adapting himself to Pacific Island life be- fore stepping back 2,000 years. reached the car. Looking at the loaded vehicle I made one earn- est request — "Phone us when you reach home -- we would like to know if you arrive safely." The call came through about three hours later, At Suva, the Fijian capital, he heard that Queen Salote's Gov- ernment at Tonga needed a con- sulting engineer. Be took the lob for ten months; then turned in hie sloop—Queen Salote's own house- hold use it today ae their royal barge --and asked that, as reward for his services, he should be allowed to live rent-free and un- molested on one of Tonga's unoc- cupied 150 islets. The very place for him was found at Runge, an uninhabited volcanic islet, about a mile long and a third of a mile wide, some forty miles from Nukualofa, the Tongan capital. No Tongan ever visits it, be- lieving it haunted by dead and uncharitable spirits --an island of sulky skulls. And there, as an enthusiastic recluse, this Danish engineer Crusoe went a few weeks ago into lifelong exile, He prepared his new homeland a little in advance, however, per- suading a Tongan agriculturist to help him plant breadfruit trees on the Islet:, Palin trees grow plentifully. But because they ape commercial- ly valuable and might attract future prospectors, Kauffmann intends to cut them down and leave sufficient only to keep him in cocoanuts, His Eden lacks any fresh water springs, so he must slake his thirst either en cocoanut milk or by collecting' rainwater as It trickles through cavort) roofs. In these caves, too, he can shelter when hurricanes lash and roar against his retreat. Doesn't Want a Wife He has taken thirty books with hint. They include the Bible and Spengler's "Decline of the West" Asked if he wanted a wife, the young bearded Dane, a towering specimen of blue-eyed Nordic manhood, shook his head vigor- ously; exclaiming: "Like any seeker after pure truth., 1 seek first inward peace, not the dis- tractions or allurements which the battle of the sexes gives to modern society," In 1982, Hunga's submergedrr volcano—it lies about a mile offs"" shore -is due to erupt afresh, He looks forward to experiencing at • first hand all the primitive gran. deur of fire and fury belching from its hissing, wave -lapped cone, By that time he will either have discovered bliss as a hermit or will have tasted the disillu- sionment that has overtaken so many eccentrics who, turning their backs on civilization, have found merely fresh dregs of re• morse. ag II/4414 )r J ) frb 'nth4tki LEMON PU ONG 11 cup granulated sugar 4 cups milk 6 tablespoons BENSON'S or 2 egg yolks, well -beaten CANADA Corn Starch l/s cup lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten MIX sugar, BENSON'S or CANADA Corn Starch and salt in top of double boiler.
