How is "three miles from Bluff", a remote location? Lathamibird (talk) 03:28, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's my attempt of rewording the following sentence from the quoted source: "The island was too isolated for children to attend school on the mainland each day." Feel free to replace "remote" with something that is more appropriate. Schwede 66 03:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
