habited by a race OF cannibals. hCripples, sick
/. and aged people were strangled. When
chief ,or man ofsrank died, his wives and
slaves were slain, and children could beslain
by their3parents, slaves by their masters, and
common people by their chiefs, without any
danger from law or public opinion. Murder
was honorable; war frequent, and universal
distrustr prevailed. Not half the people died
BY natural death. Today there is regular
government upon the English system. There
is regular weekly newspaper called theFljt
Government Gazette, the organ OF his Majesty
King Kaboban, King of tha Cannibal Islands.
