AUTHOR HONORED BY NATIVES
ssmoans Ordered Not to Fire Gun
Within Earshot OF Robert Louis
Stevenson's Grave.

James Chalmers, English Papuan
missionary, who was Killed and eaten
by cannihals at Goaribari, met Robert
Louis Stevenson on a Pacific steam
boat when the novelist WAS fleeing to
Samoa to escape death from tuberculO-
sis. After meeting Chalmers, Steven.
son was always an out-and-out defend
er of foreign missions. Perhaps that
masterpiece of philippics that Steven
son wrote to smash the traducers Of
Father Damien was inspired by his
chance meeting with james Chalmers" 3"
writes Arthur Porrltt In The Best
Remember"
All the time he was in Samoa Ste
venson was the friend of the mission
aries. and he took their view as to the
proper treatment OF the natives.
Now that he is dead the samoan ma.
lives respect Stevensons memory by a
beautiful regulation. "By order Of the
chiefs no native must discharge gun
within earshot OF yaillma," says Mr.
porritt. lest the birds that sing around
poor X. l.. SIS lonely grave might he
frightened and suspend their requiem"
