South Wales, In the early seventies. 1t
fell to his lot to admit til erstwhile
cannibal kingdom Of Fiji us IN In
tegral part Of the British empire.
During the Incidental ceremonies he
noticed that none Of the great lighting
chiefs spoke In person and that each
of them had professional orator on
his staff. As nm 1rishman, with a
strong sense Of humor. Sir Hercules
was naturally tickled by such novel
situation. and when he got back to
Sydney he repeatedly eulogized the ar

of action was very rarely man of
words and that civilizatio might very
well learn a lesson from Pacific chiefs.
