Correspondence San Francisco Chronicle
One of the wealthiest settlers in New Gale
donia is a gentleman from Australia-we
will call him Mr.. Brown for short-who
went there some ten or twelve years ago with
but small capital, and has become enorm-
ously rich by raising cattle for the markets
of Noumea. Mr.. Brown was on his way
through the bush from one of his outlaying
cattle stations to another, when he lost his
way entirely; wandered about till near night
fall, and then came upon large native vii
lage. Here he was Hospitality entertained,
we'll fed, and most deferentially treated by
the sgreat chief whose village it was-the
chief Atai l think, whom some persons re-
gard as the chief mover and leader of this
years revolt against the French. Atai was
all courtesy to his white guest, and when
night had fully come conducted him himself
in state to the hut set apart for his nights
repose.
Fortunately, Mr.. Brown was acquainted
with the customs of the country, and, among
them, knew the common method of putting
an end 10 travellers preparatory to feasting
upon them. 1t Is as follows: The traveller
his confidence: he is allotted cabin by him
self to sleep in. The native huts have usual
~ but one opening, which serves as a door
and window both. When the traveller is
supposed to be well settled in his cabin this
one entrance is set on fire. Being thatched
and made altogether of light wood, it burns
very readily, and the traveller is cooked as
well as killed. Then the feast begins.

New Caledonian life, Mr.. Brown knew the
cabin to which the venerable Atai so courte-
ously led him might probably become fol-
him both tomb and cooking-stove. un-
less his wits could save him. He entered the
cabin of the chief, meeting courtesy with
courtesy, till they were both fairly within
Then Brown, in the prime of life and athle-
tic, Atai, old and infrm, the Englishmau
knew he was more than o match for the
savage. He closed the door within the hut
planted his back firmly against it, and sit

continued his conversation with the chief
| The situation remained unchanged through
out the night. A terrible night it was, M
doubt, for the Englishman, and almost a
bad for the old chief, who again and again
requested permission to withdraw, Mr.
Brown as frequently declaring he could no
part with him-he should not feel safe ex
cept in his company. When daylight wa
fully come, Mr.. Bown felt assured that Alta
would not venture to allow his people openl,
to attack an individual 30 well known in th
settlements as himself, and, both issuing
i forth together from the hut, he gladly as
cepted the escort OF native guide and wa
safely conducted to the French settlements
where his adventure was the theme Of con
siderable interest.
