BOUVET ISLAND: 1934 envelope addressed to Cape Town, with original letter, bearing Norwegian 10ö, strip of three overprinted "BOUVET/OYA" cancelled by Cape Town Paquebot for '28.FEB.34' on arrival. A scarce and fine cover and letter from this very remote island, from which very few covers exist. 
"In 1934 Admiral E.R.G.R.Evans, Commander in Chief of the British Naval Base at Simonstown, sailed to Bouvet in HMS Milford to make sure that no hostile power was operating there. He took a small stock of Norwegian stamps (Bouvet being a Norwegian Territory) which he had overprinted. The enclosed letter, dated February 23 1934, is written on H.M.S. Milford stationery."
