The Hermit of Pond Island

John Darling was a squatter who lived on Pond Island in the early 1900s. He became known as the Hermit of Pond Island, an image that made him seem primitive and uncultured to locals. The treatment of John Darling would be mirrored with greatly enhanced brutality against other descendants of Benjamin Darling on Malaga Island. And that is the story we are going to talk about when we come back in part two.
