The man is Brother Joseph Dutton, colaborer of the famous Father Da- mien of Molokai, about whom Stever- son wrote so vallantly Brother Dutton, on July 40 years of continuous service among the lepers of Molokai. For most of that time he has not left the tiny set- tlement of Kalawao, which is a part of the promontory of Molokal given over to the leper settlement. Dutton is now 83 years old, but re- markably vigorous and with a keen interest in the outside world. To him, from many parts of the world, comes by every mail a huge volume of let- ters, papers and documents. He car- rles on an enormous correspondence.
