BILE stamping out polygamy, still practic-
ed to some extent on the sly, although no
man lives with more than one wife at a
time. When he tires of one spouse, he
calmly packs her off to her mother and
takes another. Although the Tutuilans
can build barricaded war canoes holding
200 men, can throw up earthworks and
use firearms, they can be kept in order by
n small garrison in time Of threatening
trouble. The reputed savagery and
boodthirstiness Of these people caused
their island until late years to be always
avoided by ships going to Samoa. lnfor-
nation collected by the missionaries.
however, indicates that this reputation
was undeservcd. In 1877 La Perouse, a
French explorer. landed off Tutuila. A
boat containing ~ of his crew was Mt
tackled in a small bay off the southwest
coast, and all were massacred by trav-
cling party Of natives from Upolu. The
place is still known as Massacre bay, and
the Tutuilans have always received cred
1t for the crime.

who will probably be treated with the
same policy ms applied to the sultan of
Sulu. This king, Tui Manua, rules over
the island Of Manua, or Tau, ns 1t Is
often called, the largest of small group
of three islands GO miles east OF Tutuia.
Although Manua was cassed among the
Samoan group, the native subjects of
King TUT have always made their own
laws and have kept to themselves.
Their potcntnte, although II Christian,
Is not permitted to walk, to drink water
or battle in the sea. Were he to violate
this rule some dire misfortune would be
sure to befall his people 1t is said that
the royal families OF Samoa originally
sprang from Manua. King Tu there
fore prides himself on his blue blood.
Manua Is 100 square miles in area, or
less than half the size of Tutuila. Tau,
the residence OF his majesty, is situated
on the west coast. Manua rises like a
great dome TO an elevation of 1000 feet,
but Is skirtcd by belt OF fiat land cover
cd with cocoanuts, while the mountains
are prolific in breadfruit trees and banan-
ms. There being no fresh water on tho
island, the people drink cocoanut milk or
from brackish springs. This probably
accounts for the drinking restriction ap-
piled to King Tui.

hope of escape when land was sighted
straight ahead. AS n last desperate eff
fort to elude the cruiser the brig ran into
little cove sheltered by a long reef.
The cruiser could not enter the cove, but
hove to outside and prepared to lower her
boats. The only refuge for her crew was
on the island. and there they were safely
landed in hurry. 1t was at this moment
that Henderson learned the secret which
had puzzled him. Captain Summers took
him down into the cabin and. closing the
door, said:
Henderson, / have here chest con-
tanning nearly S1T5,00O | want you to
help me take 1t ashore and hide it. If we
succeed in getting away, we will divide
the money. If one of us dies. the other
shall have it. We can find place on the
island to conceal it,"
Henderson agreed, the chest was buried
as described above, and the two escaped.
Summers dying, but Henderson reaching
jackson. He saved enough money TO buy
the Louisa B last January. He rechris-
tened her the Rover and started on Feb.
% to recover the treasure. On April 12
the Tristan d'Acunha group was reached.
and the next day Henderson landed on
the island. He had no trouble in dscov-
ering the treasure chest and found it's
contents intact.
