does not dare to return to the village
for three days. And should any Of
their number be killed, there is wild
lamentation in the tribe, and the fatal
spot is Stunned for years.
That the Chinese, too, are cannibals
or partially cannibals, is shown by the
fate of such Black Flags as they may
capture. The head Of the head huntec
is half cut off from behind with a
heavy broadsword two feet long. Aft.
er one executioner has done this part
Of the Job, the other saws the head
completely off. Then the head is tied
to q bamboo pole and is fastened on
the gates of the village. The heart is
eaten, the flesh taken off In strips.
and the bones boiled to a jelly and
kept as a medicine for yellow fever,
Of which there is plenty. Sometimes
the captive head hunter is beaten and
tortured by the Chinese women, who
thrust long needles into his flesh.
When the mainland Black Flags are
in the service of the Chinese govern

looked upon as first prize, the head
of Pe-pe-hoan is regarded as a
close second.
The head hunter is patient. For
weeks and months he follows his
prey, and plans his raid. From an
ambush on the hilltop he watches his
victims, for he isn't man who is
fond of fair, standup fight II 1t can
be avoided. lie learns when the far
mer goes intb the field, and the time
when he Is farthest from his home.
He finds out the defense Of the vii
lagos; which one is the weakest, and
therefore will be the best to attack.
And he never fails to keep away from
foe stronger than himself.
All that the head hunter need carry
is a spear to kill, knife to cut and
bag to put the head in. The spear is
twenty feet long, of bamboo, and has
an iron, arrow shaped head eight inch
es long. The knife, which Is carried
in a belt, is eighteen inches long, of
iron, with keen edge and point. The
bag is of cord, and opens and shuts
like a net, and is carried over the
shoulders. 1t is large enough to hold
two or three heads. Sometimes the
head hunter carries a bow and ar
rows, and occasionally matchbox
gun. If n month goes by without
some one in the tribe bringing in
head, the tribe grows restless, and a
foray on Chinese settlement Is
planned. When, on rare occasions,
they start out in the daylight, they go
singly Creeping UP behind the work
ers in the fields, they STAY with the
spear, and then, the victim being dead
or disabled. they finish with the knife.
But at night the hunt is conducted In
companies. A house is selected and
surrounded and the attack is made.
Sometimes one hunter, less Of cow
ard than the others, creeps up and sets
fire to the matched shelter. At other
times damp grass smudges are thrust
through the chinks, and the occupants
are smoked out.
When the raid has been successful,
and all the heads possible to get are
in the bags, the hunters return to their
villages to whoop it up. All those

THE MOKIL GROUP
IN THE PACIFIC.

Mokil is properly a group of three
low islands-Urak, Manton and Kaiap
lying close together in lagoon Of no
great extent. The Mokil folk, num-
bering some 200, probably have
strong Marshall Island admixture, like
their Pingelap neighbors. Many of
their words are an obsolete form OF
Ponapean; but nowadays the modern
Ponapean is everywhere spoken, intro
duced by the American missionaries
and native teachers from their former
station on the larger island. The M,
tives are Christianized; cocoanut toddy
is tabooed, and all use of intoxicating
liquors and tobacco is strictly forbid
den. The king, jcho, lives on Kalap
and is friendly old gentleman, but
like nearly oil converted natives, has
keen eye for business.
The chief trader on the island Is
John Higgins, a capital boatbuilder
and carpenter, the son of Massachu.
sets man, afterward murdered upon
Pingelap by a Gilbert Islander from
| Aroral. He leads as quiet and indus
trious life as any Norfolk or Pitcairn
Island settler. There is no supply of
running water, but there is a heavy
annual rainfall, which the natives
make the most of by digging numerous
shallow pits and wells.

is time to leave. Toward evening,
with good load of copra and some of
the Urak porkers and seven or eight
native passengers on board, we set sail

miles to the southwark. The group

pretty dense, considering the meagre
area. Natives midway between the
Ponape and Mollil type. Language. a
harsh and Anticipated dialect of Pona-
pean. AS in Mokil, however, the new
missionary Ponapean, introduced In
the lesson books and New Testament
translations and songs, is fast oustinr
the old language. Most of the inhab-
itants here live on the main central
island, which is neatly laid out in
shady walks and avenues, skirting
trim and well kept plantations of ba-
nanas and various sorts Of taro. PIen-
ty of arrowroot is found in the bush.
The cocoanut groves are productive.
and in profusion are found two yarie.
ties of jack fruit, one with slightly.
the other with deeply, serrated leaves.
The number of bright, healthy young
children playing about the landing
place gave pleasant and encouraging
testimony of the vigor and vitality of
the race-a quality now, alas, growing
rarer among the South Sea Island peo-
pies.

to be the spirit of the victims, and it
