Preserving the Dead
"One peculiar cur tom which was
naturally among the first to t.-npreo*
Itself upon me and which appaicntly
prevailed among all the natives of the
Island. Is the method of preserving
the dead. The body Is burned but the
head Is placed In a small basket on
top of a bamboo pole as thick as a
man s arm. and thatched ovet the top
with the leaves of the sugar palm.
Here it Is left to hleaeh and dry and
the sight of these ghastly sign posts
which wc frequently came across was
anything but reassuring. In some
places the head Is not detached, hut
the entire body ia hung up in a sort
of wicker-work wrapping, suspended
between two posts several feet above
the ground, and It is possible to view
through the interstices In the basket

breezes swing to and fro as they would

A Prisoner Among Maneatcr*.
•'At the village of Ixmtong i was
made a prisoner, along with carriers.
The chief had barn very filemlly when
we first appeared, and we had no
means of knowing why he hud made
us captive*, but the prospect was very
discouraging. From where I was seat
ed In the native hut which served as a
prison, and which was guarded by two
stalwart blacks armed with jugged
ivar clubs. 1 could overhear an earnest
discussion going on among the war
rior* who had gathered a short dis
tance away. The guide who was be
side me told me that they were dis
cussing the fate of their prisoners, and
us the babble of conversation went
on he interpreted such remarks as
"We miißt overcome them while they
sleep, slay and eat them.' It I* need
less to say such a prospect wus suffi
cient to banish every thought of sleep.
The guide informed me that there
were two parties to the discussion: one
wished to kill and eat us and the other
to let us pays. We had no means of
knowing v hleh would prevail, and we
sr t all night with our seven guns load
ed anil ready for Instant, use. anil our
pistols by our sides. There was a tu
mult in the early morning, and we
gripped the guns, ready to Bell our
lives as dtarly as possible. There
were cries of 'The enemy! the enemy!’
anil soon it appeared that a neighbor
ing tribe had attacked the village, cur
rying off two of its women. A little
later the chief called to see me and
said: 'What If we keep you to work
in our fields for a year or two?' I an
swered: 'You would not do such a
thing.' and to prove that I did not. fear
him, J gave the chief a handsome pis
tol, which delighted his savage heart
and apparently restored him to the
greatest friendliness. Seeing that I
had made an impression, I added, ‘lf
you dare to touch a hair of our heads
our brothers will come anil kill all of
-on.' The chief Immediately declared
that he had no Intention of injuring
me, that, in fact, he took me under
his protection.
"Still I did not trust him, and to
ward evening, when be summoned an
other council of his followers, I no
ticed that he, (vas fingering tbe pistol
which I had given him In n manner
anything hut reassuring. I at once
approached hisA and said, through the
Interpreter:

Interviewing a Cannibal
« -Where did you get that skull and
hand that you carry?'
•' They belonged to au enemy who
fr 11 Into our hands.'
*• 'Did you ewt him?"
*' 'Yea. iny hrotber-ln-law and bis
people ate him. His name was SI
Keaiat SI tlallak. He had fled from
his country, in which he was rajah,
vilth his brother, his wife and his
mother. He called hltnsclf a wizard,
and sought to become ruler of Banjo.
My brother-in-law declared war
where my brother-in-law was chief,
against him and captured him.’
" 'Was there a battle?'
" No, we took hint prisoner We
lay in ambush In the rice fields, anil
when we saw him pass through alone
we leaped upon him and brought him
to the chief.’
“ ‘Anil Ills brother?’
“ 'His brother fell In war.'
“ ‘ln a battle?’
•' 'No, we shot him at night, while
he was asleep. The ball hti him In
the right arm. and he stood up hold
ing a knife In his left hand; but we
were victor ions, fpr we were many:
we knocked him down and sent, his
head to the chief. Don't you call that
war?' ,
“ -What happened to tils body?
« ‘That we ate it. The head? Our
chief put that In front of 81 Kemat
that, he might know what, to expect.
" Couldn't he ransom himself?'
•• ‘Ransom? Impossible; ne had to
die.’
“ ‘Didn't he cry?’
*• 'Oh, yes, hut that did no good; he
was bound fast.'
“ ‘And then?’
“ 'We ate him up. of course. The
next day when the sun ceased to rise
anil had not begun to set (noon) we
brought Si Kemat out, threw him on
the ground with his face down, and
my brother-in-law cut his head off.
He received the heart and as much of
the flesh as he wanted, and whoever
else wanted any took anil roasted It
over tho fire. What, was left we
cooked with pepper and salt and ate
it at home. The large hones were lied
together, and on the following day we
buried his head In the patch so that
even his friends should treail on It
and make him their enemy.'
“ Wliat happened to his wite.
“‘I sold her at market for my
brother-in-law. ills mother, the Guru
(wizard) said, was as bad as her jwn.
ho we cut her throat a mouth later.'
Did you eat her, too?’
“ ‘Yes. of course.’ _ K
