单选题London keeps its eyes on this far corner of the empire. Two British diplomats preside— colonial figures hardly cut from the same cloth as the old viceroys of India or governors of Nigeria or Hong Kong. The senior man is usually on the verge of retirement, having enjoyed rather too little distinction in his career, or else sporting a stated fascination with bird watching, since there is a local and much-celebrated albatross. His assistant is invariably an eager youngster—on this occasion an ambitious young woman who was leaving after six months for a long-sought and career-boosting posting outside Kandahar. There is usually rather little for the pair to do; the only signed order currently posted on the island"s official notice board refers to power cut due for two hours the following Tuesday. Once in a long while, there is crisis. The event for which Tristan perhaps best remembered was the eruption of its volcano in 1961, and the evacuation of the entire population. The 264 islanders— the population size has remained very stable for the last half century—were brought to England and put up in a disused army barracks in Hampshire. But the supposed delights of Western civilization— cars, elevators, cinemas, none of which the islanders had ever seen before—did not seduce them into staying: two years later all but fourteen went home. They built their ruined town and settled back to their uncomplicated routines of fishing for lobsters and knitting ganzeys. The Daily Mirror of the time said, admiringly, that by doing so the islanders had delivered on all smug Britons a much-deserved and contemptuous slap. I first went to the island in 1983 , then again a little later. I was welcomed, though warily: the self-reliance of the islanders is matched by a fierce devotion to self-protection and privacy. They knew I was a writer; they warned me that anything I might publish would be read and analyzed for years to come. And though nothing untoward occurred when I was visiting(my time ashore I spent fully impressed with the idea of leaving only footprints and taking only snapshots)it was shortly after that second trip that I quite inadvertently committed the indiscretion which resulted in my lifetime prohibition. At first blush it all sounds to have been innocent indeed. It stems from a somewhat bizarre British government decision, taken during World War II, to reclassify some of its more remote island possessions as ships. Tristan was transmuted into HMS Atlantic Isle, and its role was to patrol(from its rock-hewn state of immobility)for any German U-boats that might be lurking in the southern Atlantic. To compound the fantasy, a small party of sailors was posted there to man the ship—one of them a young and apparently romantically minded lieutenant and litterateur manque named Derrick Booty.
