HOW Rr. Brown Saved Himself
From Being Ealen.

From Being Eaten.
Correspondence san Francisco Bulletin.
One of the wealthiest settlers in
New Caledonia is a gentleman from
! Austraiia-we will call him Mr.. Brown
| for short-who went there some ten or
twelve years ago with but small cap
| itai, and has become enormously rich
by raising cattle for the markets of
Noumea. Mr. Brown was on his way
through the bush from one Of his out
lying cattle stations to another, when
he lost his way entirely wandered
about until near nightfall, and then
came upon a large native village. Here
he was Hospitality entertained, well
fed and most deferentially treated by
the great chief whose village it was
the chief Atai, / think, whom some
persons regard 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 i'll state
to the hut set apart for his nights re-
pose. Fortunately, Mr.. Brown was
acquainted with the customs of the
country, and, among them, knew the
common method OF putting an end to
travellers, preparatory to feasting upon
them. 1t is as follows: The traveller
is kindly received; nothing occurs to
shake his confidence in his host he is
allotted a cabin to himself to sleep in.
The native huts have usually 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 would burn very readily, and
the traveller is cooked as well as killed
Then the feast begins.
Being acquainted with these details
of New Caledonian life, Mr.. Brown /
knew the cabin to which the venera-
BILE Atai so courteOusly led him might |
probably become for him both a tomb
and a cooking stove, unless 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 athletic, knew he was more
