Young men are deputed to inflict the appointed
punishment and are often messengers of DEATH Their
movements are sudden and destructive like tropical

is often Judged in bis absence and executed before he
IS aware that sentence has been passed against him
Sometimes little form is observed as in the case of
the Fasu to Yuma, This man cOnspired against the
lie OF Iukllakila; but the plot was discovered and
the Fasu brought to meet death at SOmosomo. His
friends prepared him, according to the custom of
Fejee by folding large new mast about his Ioins
and oing and backing his body as if for war A
necklace and pr0iusion of ornaments at his elbows
and knees completed the attire. He was then placed
standing, to be shot by man suitably equipped
The shot failed when the musket was exchanged for
q club, which the executioner broke on the Vasu's
head; but neither this blow, nor second from
more ponderous weapon, succeeded in bring the
young man to the ground. The victim now ran
towards the spot where the king sat perhaps with
the hope of a reprieve but was feled by a death.
blow from the club Of powerful man standing by.
The slain body was cooked and eaten One Of tie
baked thighs the king sent to his brother, who was
principal in the plot that he might taste how sweet
his accomplish was, and eat of the fruits oil his
doings,' This is fair sample of a Feieean public
execution Those who are to die are never SO far as
know, bound in any way. A Feeean is implicitly
submissive to the will Of his chief The executioner
states his errand, to which he replies whatever the
