This doesn't sound plausible. The St Peter and St Paul Rocks are eleven volcanic rocks (the biggest 23m tall) within an ocean area of 350m x 200m. There is no vegetation and no drinking water. The next island is 625 km away. There are lighthouse ruins, and there is a building on one of the rocks to house scientific and military visitors (see <http://www.worldwildlife.org/wildworld/profiles/photos/nt/nt1318a.html> for a photo) but I haven't found any evidence of permanent inhabitants. <http://www.ng3k.com/Ohpadx/ohpa417.html> says "The Brazilian Navy visits the rocks for maintenance on their equipment once every six months," which sounds about right.
