Wonderful rnrccr of on \ mcricnn on
the FIJI 1s,auds.
Capt. Rodney Burt. who Is now In
Washington. is a man with a strange
past. For thirty.eight years he made
his home among the FIJI Islanders
and was by them treated as prince.
The way he happened to enter FIJI
Island life was peculiar. He was born
in Connecticut. Ills father was sea.
faring man. He. too, followed that
trade. hut when still n young man his
health began to fail. In order to recu.
peratc he was sent on voyage to the
South Sea Islands and the Samoan
Islands. but found but little benefit In
the trip. Hearing that the climate of
the Fill group was salutary, Burt wish.
ed to go there, even though his friends
warned him that, rs the islands were
inhabited by cannibals, he was likely
to he eaten before he had been day
In the place. Undismnyed, lie got a
friend, who was captain of sailing
vessel, to take him to the place.
On arriving of the coast Of the island
the ship cast anchor In bay near the
hut Of the King Of the place, and the
captain, who understood the Language
Of the natives, made a sign by which
he informed them that he had on board
a white man who desired to live with
the Fijians. In short while canoe
filed with native young men, among
whom was the son Of the King, shot
out from the land. Burt was told that
the King would make him welcome, SO
he set out with the savages, and tho
ship Of his friends left him, rs they
thought, to be eaten possibly before
the week WINS out.
On Burt's appearance council OF
the tribe was called by the beating Of
n sharp tattoo on drum, and afteI
all were assembled the white man was
presented to them, his object In com
ing among them related. and he wa.
formally adopted by the tribe. As d
special mark Of favor the King gave
him his niece In marriage, and the
Connecticut sailor became member OF
the royal household Of chief Of cannl
balls. A royal hut was given him, his
authority was that Of n prince, and
instead Of being eaten, he was one OF
the lords Of the nation, the first white
man who ever lived In the place. The
only intercourse with the whites be
fore had been that with the few trad
ing ships which touched mt the island
about once a year.
Burt now commenced n life which
lasted for thirty.eight years, and 1t wa,
