Christmas Island Coffee Prospects Rise After Phosphate Finds
The article recounts early exploration on Christmas Island and the later discovery of phosphate beds. Andrew Ross, linked to the Cocos Islands owner, led settlers who began planting coconuts and coffee. A small settlement formed at Flying Fish Cove as wells were sunk, trees grew, and a Java coolie workforce prepared for phosphate operations. The island's interior remains forested with a temperate climate, abundant by sea breezes, and wildlife including rats and bats attributed to drift and flight. Also noted is Astor's yacht Nourmahal arriving at Valletta in Malta on March 15.
