   There are several rumors surrounding Indian Island and who owns it.  The fact that it is a complete mystery makes it even more appealing to those who thrive on gossip.  At the beginning of the first chapter, Mr. Justice Wargrave is reading through the paper and recalling several of the rumors that are floating around.  Some say Gabrielle Turl, a Hollywood film star, purchased the island to hide from all the publicity.  Another rumor claims that an American millionaire owned the island, but lost his money and was forced to sell the house.  Another rumor claims that a member of the royal family purchased the island.  Indian Island is a hot topic and the fact that it is drawing so much media attention makes it so significant.
