Fielding and | had gone into the in
terror of the island some six weeks age
on a visit to some natives who had not

dience listened half way through atten-
lively. when one of the black men sud
denly threw up his gun and fred at me
One of our men tried to pull the weapon
out of his hand as he raised it to shoot
again.s
Fielding was kneeling in prayer. The
two men %grappled. with the gun between
them. A moment later there were three
more of the savages in the struggle.
They pulled the gun away from the
interpreter and fired the second charge
at the kneeling man. The whole strug-
gle for the weapon did not take FIVE sec
onds. and it was hard to realize what was
happening.
FIELDING sank on his side. 1 ran for
ward to pick him up. but one of the ma
tives struck me with a club. and | was
dragged away to one side to be a later
victim.
The whole camp was yelling by this
time. and the scene was a fearful one.
Our natives ran away. but were captured
one by one. Fielding became the target
of a shower of spears. but he needed
them not AT all. He had been killed by
the bullet. Later one Of the natives who
had been wounded was also killed.
That night the savages held 2 great
caunibal feast. The mental torture SUI
fered during that night was the most aw-
full of my life. They were like a pack Of
savage dogs. They built a great FIRE,
where they roasted the bodies of the two
men and ate them with great gusto.
Next morning there were some heads
Of the tribe who thought they had had
enough of the missionaries. They began
to have vague fears Of the results of a
visit from some Of the men-of-war that
prowl around the coasts. Some Of them
talked about seeing us down to the shore,
one Of the Interpreters told me. while
there were a large number in favor of
our getting away as soon as possible.
1T was as If the natives had INDUCED
in rare sport. and they did not think they
ought to do il any more. We were sim
ply set free. And | can tell you that aft
err the awful experiences Of that day we
did not lose any time in getting to the
coast.
