CANNIBALS EAT MISSIONARIES
Ship From Friendly Islands Brings
Details Of Awful Fate of Christian
Workers.

Seattle, Wash.-The barkentine
Mary e. Winkelman, which has just
arrived at Mukilteo. Wash. from the
Friendly or Tonga islands, in the
South sea, brings details of the muir
der and eating by cannibals on Saw
age island, near the Tongas, of the
Rev. Horatio Hopkins and his assist
ant, the Rev. Hector Laurie McPher-
son, missionaries of the Presbyterian
mission, on February 8.
While the barkeptine lay at Tanga-
tabu in the Tonga islands, canoe
load of mission natives from Savage
island arrived at Eua, bringing news
of the butchery.
The natives said that Hopkins and
Mcpherson were teaching in the mis-
sion building which stands on the
beach in the little harbor of Savage
island, when 200 of the unconverted
savages, bowling war cries and bran.
dishing clubs and spears descended
upon their quarters and took every
one prisoner. The missionaries had
about twenty converts undergoing
training at the time and only nine
converts escaped. Both missionaries
were bound with thongs and were left
| lying on the beach in the tropical sun
for several hours while the savages
took the native captives inland.
The cannibals, on returning to the
beach, carried the missionaries on 9
| litter to the crater of the extinct vol
eano Vanine, In the center Of the
island. There, for two days and nights
they held corroboree and at times
could be seen plainly dancing and rev
cling by the fugitive mission natives
as they stole along the shore.
| While most of the cannibals were
sleeping an opportunity came to the
captive natives to escape. Their go
ing was fastened by the signt of two
of the cannibal chiefs donning thu
missionaries clothes. The clergymeI
had already been eaten.
