COOKING u GIRL.
Tho Horrible Feast Prepared by rev
Fs Zealand Ch1ettaiu. Es&


Zealand Chisttain. Esf
From the Popular Science Monthly.
Earle, who wrote very readable, intel
igent andsbut little known account Of the
Maoris very early in the present CEN
tury, speaks of the gentle manners and
kindly ways Of New Zealand chief,
whom he afterward disco vered to be an
inveterate cannibal. He relates that he
visited the place where was cooking a
young slave girl that his friend had kill
cd for the purpose. The head was sever
ed from the body the four quarters, with
the principal bones removed, were com
pressed and packed into small oven IN
the ground and coverd with earth, It was
q case OF unjustifable cannibalism. No
revenge was gratifed by the deed, and
no excuse could be made that the body
was eaten to perfect their triumph.
Earle says that he learned that the flesh
takes many hours to cook, that it is
very tough if otthroughly cooked, but
that it pulls in pieces like bit Of blot
ting paper if we'll done. he continues
that the victim was handsome, pleas
ant-looking girl of sixteen, and one that
he used frequently to see about the pah.
To quote his own words:
while listening to this frightful de-
tail we felt sick almost to fainting. We
left Atoi (the chief who had killed the
girD and again strolled towards the
spot where this disgusting feast was
cooking. Not native was now near it,
hot steam kept occasionally bursting
from the smothered mass, and the same
dog that we had seen take the head of
the girl now crept from beneath the
bushes and sneaked toward the village;
to add to the gloominess of the whole
large hawk rose from the very spot
where the poor victim had been cut in
pieces. My friend and I SAT gazing in
this melancholy place; it was lower
ing, gusty day, and the moaning of the
wind through the bushes as it swept
round the hill on which we were,
seemed in unison with our feelings"
Earle goes on to relate how he and
three other compatriots whom he sum-
moned from the beach for the purpose,
with the F:nglishman's usual imperti-
nent interference aud intolerance of
customs differing from his own, deter
mined to Illustrate Atoi's intention.
They together visited the hill where the
flesh was cooking, and destroying the
oven, buried the remains in the earth.
They found the heart put on one side
for the special delectation OF their con-
slant friend and companion, Atoi.
Earle was afterward good -humoredly
told by the chief that their interference
had: been of no avail, as they had found
the grave where the flesh had been
buried and opened it soon after he and
his friends had left, and finished cook
ing it and ate it all.
