The existing obstacles to the forming of

From other conversations which he had
with other natives on this same subject,
explorer Won Premier came to the con-
cTusion that except among the very low
est and most degraded of the savages with
whom he came in contact. cannibalism was
caused not so much by the liking for hu-
man flesh as by the desire to complete the
humiliation and destruction of enemies
Many other curious customs and strange
legends are reported by Won Bremen as
the result of his journeys through country
inhabited by more than 100000 primitive
savages, but there is nothing in al his
notes quite so extraordinary as his inter-
view with cannibal on cannibalism-doubt-
less the first ever published

Did you eat him?"
Eyes. My brother-in-law and his peo-

wife and his mother. He called himself a

No, we shot him at night, while he

Saw a Man Eaten.

During my stay saw one man eaten.
He had been made captive in a raid
against hostile tribe, and when l saw
him he was bound to a tree. The ra-
jah, or chief, first approached the victim
and cut off the flesh from the inner side
of the forearm and the cheek two portions
esteemed a great delicacy. The chief
drank some of the blood, and then roasted
the flesh slightly by the fire and ate it,
Thereafter the rest of the warriors fell
upon the victim and stripped the flesh
from his bones roasted and ate it amid
fearful cries of pain from the captive
VINO saw his own flesh roasted and eaten.
The savage feaslers danced, shouted and
rubbed their stomachs to show their en-
joyment while the victims cries grew
weaker as his strength ebbed away, until
he finally died from loss of blood.
Generally, cannibalism is an act of
vengeance upon captured enemies, but
among the Popaks the taste for human
flesh has become so much developed that
they often eat harmless slaves and old
women. A Popak prince in Penganibatan
told me that he had just given a feast
at which eleven Chinese had been eaten,
and he added that they were very good.
This prince, by name ST Goffak, was very
rich, having his teeth gilded, and wearing
a handsome jeweled collar in the center
of which tooth was set, the tooth of an
enemy whom he had slain and eaten. But
he himself soon fell a victim to his foes,
as evidenced by the skull and half burned
hand which l found some weeks later
in possession of a Batak chief Then a
conversation took place somewhat after
this fashion:
