wise for us to attempt this by force
when it can be done ultimately by the

are all Mohammedans, as are about

with the religion of these people would
precipitate one of the bloodiest wars IN

of the Vizayan islands. powerful men

heaven can be attained by killing
Christians. Polygamy is part of their
religion, and slavery, about which so
much is being said just now, is mild
type of feudal bondage.

him that they had not more than two

article Of food to have on a trip OF that
kind. At various points where the party
stopped 10 eat, as shown by the tracing
Of their route, they made no coffee. but
ate raw onions and sausage pentfully.
This diet, Mr. Bradbury says with CO.

down the strongest man within few
days on a campaign OF that kind. In
the case Of Doty II was shown BY the
abandoned provisions and the distance
afterwards Travelled, that the unfOrtusate
