Interesting, since it's a pretty small island:

Never heard of a "fire plough" before:
The fire plough is thought to be one of the earliest techniques used for fire creation.
Here are the steps to create fire using the fire plough method:
Select and prepare the wood. Choose two pieces of wood that are dry and well-suited for friction reduction.
Position the hearth (base). Place the base on a solid surface, ensuring it is flat and stable.
Create a shallow groove. Establish a shallow groove in the base wood to guide the blade.
Start ploughing. Begin by applying even, firm pressure on the blade while moving it back and forth.
Anglican Boarding Schoolboys were shipwrecked on a South Pacific Island after taking a boat on a joyride.
Anarchy did NOT ensue.
But instead, farming, fishing, division of labor, and Sunday Prayers.
Gone for over a year, with funeral rites said for all of them, they were discovered by a passing boat and rescued.
