In their own villages, but ViIau never
let the magic apparatus leave his
village
And so until the corsets wore out
Vilau's island was the paradise Of
husbands.
But here is another side to thu
shield of missionary giving Il
blacker side. There was an island
a fertile one, paradise, in the South
Seas that twenty years ago held
tribe of $500 natives. 1t was pros
porous and happy. Now not a ma,
tive will set his foot upon it, and this
is why.
There came one day to the mis-
sioner on the island a consignment
of goods from the United States sent
by earnest missionary societies
there. In one box was very gaudy
silk shirt. Promptly the chief took
this as his own and threw 1t over
his shining brown skin. Two days
later the chief died of black small
pox. There had never been smallpox
on the island before, and the people
didn't recognize it. The chiefs sue
cessor took the shirt and put it on,
wore it for day and shortly after
he died.
Three months later our schooner,
the Bob Ellis, came into the harbor
to trade for copra and maybe pearls.
There was not a sign Of life on the
place. Its desolation struck out and
hit YOU. We sent a boat ashore and
came across the burned ruins Of the
missionary house. A little further
back was a, knoll and raised on 1t
was cross, and from the cross
hung all that was left Of man, and
from his head a fragment OF red
silk shirt streamed. The island was
a charnel house of skeletons were
strewn all over it. But of living man
we could find 40 ira e. The island was
under English control, and boat
was sent around to try to find some
fugitive who had escaped who could
eXplain. At last two were rounded
IN. and this was what they said:
THE missioner was always a good
man, but there were devils who sent
him the red shirt that held the curse.
Our chief put it on and it carried him
away: then his son put it on, and it
killed him. and from him the curse
spread amongst us, so that we were
sick and died by tens and twenties.
and so we took the missionary, and
because he had been a good man we
gave him the death that he preached
to us-that which had been given to
his God. And we hung the devil shirt
so that his spirit might chain the
devils in it and the rest of us that
were left escaped from the island"

1t wasn't a funny oyster at all.
This is the way it came about. The
mamie was an Englishman, am
rot going to give his name - one
day found pink pearl lying on
the table of his little schooner. 1t
was a very valuable pearl, and
how it came there he didn't know
Neither did the crew. He took the
pearl and locked it in his safe.
The next time he went to his safe
the pearl was gone. Nobody knew
where it had gone. This man was
just man, but he suspected a
kanaka, who acted as his cabin
steward, and he had this man
logged. The Englishman went to
port, and the Kanaka disappeared.
The night after the Englishman
put out again to sea he looked
down at the cabin table and there
was the pearl again He reached
for it, but drew back-it was in
the mouth of a great oyster whose
jaws, as he described them to me.
were deadlier looking than the
mouth of cobra" He iumped
back, and when he looked again
there was neither pearl nor oyster
on the table. Night after night
and day after day this man saw
the pearl, and always around il
