One woman who had been clubbed was left upon the beach in front of our house at Vewa. The poor creature's head was smashed to pieces and the body quite naked. One Christian man was clubbed at Rewa, and part of his body was eaten by the Vewa heathen and his bones then thrown near our door. My lad gathered them up and buried them, and afterwards learned that they were the bones of one of his friends. We do not, and we cannot tell you all that we know of Feegeean cruelty and crime.
Every fresh act seems to rise above the last.
A chief at Rakeraki had a box in which he kept human flesh. Legs and arms were salted for him and thus preserved in this box. At Bau, the people preserve human flesh and chew it as some chew tobacco. They carry it about with them, and use it in the same way as tobacco. I heard of an instance of cruelty the other day that surpasses everything I have before heard of the kind.
