Îles lointaines; photos de Fijian avec stylo et pinceau . ome, il a engendré la dégoût dans d'autres, et beaucoup des plus jeunes chefs n'étaient que trop heureux de faire du tharrival des missionnaires l'excuse pour l'abandonner. Il a été laissé entendre dans certains des livres sur les Fidji, les erreurs de sionisme et d'autres, que j'ai lus, que les premiers localieurs de la loi aux Fidji eux-mêmes se sont réellement indulgés dans le cannibalisme, mais de ceci il n'y a aucune preuve et il n'est pas probable. Beaucoup d'entre eux, cependant, ont payé la peine de leurs méfaits et ont été tués et très probablement mangés, car ils ont perdu le respect des chefs qui les avaient défendus et poursuivi

Islands far away; Fijian pictures with pen and brush . ome, it bred disgust in others, andmany of the younger chiefs were only too glad to make thearrival of the missionaries the excuse for giving it up. It has been hinted in some of the books about Fiji, mis-sionary and others, which I have read, that the first lawlessvisitors to Fiji themselves actually indulged in cannibalism, but of this there is no proof and it is not likely. Many ofthem, however, paid the penalty of their misdeeds and werekilled and very probably eaten, for they lost the respect ofthe chiefs who had defended them and suffered in consequence.On the other hand, the missionaries coming quite unprotected, without arms, and bringing with them young mves and littlechildren, were almost always well treated even in very savageplaces, and I know of only one instance of any of them beingkilled and eaten. Their courage commanded respect, andtheir clean lives and unvarying Icindness drew out affection, so that the whole armour of God proved a better protectionthan swords and guns.. CANNIBAL DISH. Chapter X. WHERE THE VILLAGE HAD BEEN. I WAS sorry that anything should interrupt our week in theFiji village, but even in this remote spot with our one onlybatch of letters, invitations reached us to a ball which mycompanion thought it a great pity to miss, and, as our invita-tions included a boat being sent all the way from Naitonitonito fetch us and to bring us back, it would have been churlishto refuse, so the messenger who brought the letters, took ouracceptance back. It was a bachelors surprise ball in theNaitonitoni magistrates native buri. These surprise ballsare a feature in the life of the little English colonies in Fiji.It is the only way the single men, or people with small quarters, have of returning the hospitality they receive so freely.Those who have suitable accommodation get, every now andthen, a request to lend their rooms for a certain night, and thisis all they have to do with the entertainment.
