says, when Bishop Selwyn converted

stories Of it which have a distinctly
humorous flavor. For instance:
1t is said that once u chief captured
u missionary who was anything but Il
toothsome morsel, rs he was old and
thin and looked as if his flesh would
be tough. The missionary warned
the chief that he would not make IL
good dinner, and pulling up his trous'
ers, cut slice off the calf OF his leg
and offered it to the chief. The chief
tasted it, said he didn't like it, and
passed it to Sub.chief. The sub
chief tasted it, made wry face and
passed it on. The next man who took
a bite of it spit 1T out. The mission
arv was released. After lie had gone
it was discovered that he wore cork
