. Errance parmi les sauvages de la mer du Sud et à Bornéo et aux Philippines. , et que je pensais être ivre sur angona, dont iHad parpris la nuit précédente. Angona est thesame comme kava aux Samoa, et est la boisson nationale aux Fidji. Masirewa ne portait maintenant qu'un sulu et jeta son singulet. Je suppose que c'était un cas de Rome faire comme Rome, mais il a certainement semblé mieux dans la peau sombre qu'il portait à sa naissance. On m'a montré la grande rockby de la rivière où plus d'un millier de personnes avaient été kiUed pour leurs fêtes cannibales. Theywétaient habituellement des prisonniers capturés dans les Rewadistrict, aussi quelques hommes blancs.

I was shown the large rockby the river where more than a thousand peoplehad been kiUed for their cannibal feasts. Theywere usually prisoners captured in the Rewadistrict, also a few white men. They were cutopen ahve and their hearts torn out, and theirbodies were then cut up for cooking on the rock, which I noticed was worn quite smooth. Some-times they would boil a man alive in a hugecauldron. While staying at Namosi the Buli gave mesome lessons in throwing native spears, and inusing the bow.
