 Natives are Vanishing
 Captain Cook and other explorers introduced fruits and vegeta bles and modern customs on Nuku uiva. but they also introduced European diseases. When the first white man set foot on the island. cannibalism was rampant and tribal warfare an important occupation mong the men folk. Long pig thuman fleshl was necessary for the proper celebration of the pagan religious rites. If member of an enemy tribe could not be brought in, the priest ordered one of the members of his own tribe pre- pared for the tribal feast.
 But with cannibalism and tribal warfare the Marquesans held their own. The French put stop to can- nibalism but epidemic after epidemic of disease has placed the Marquc- sans among the vanishing races Of the South Seas. One epidemic of smallpox, introduced by early ex- plorers. killed more than 5000 tribesmen.

 "A few cattle browse about the valleys, wild pigs or goats scamper through the jungle growth. and few birds nest in the upper valleys. But the villages are usually found near the head of the bays. with cocoanut plantations nearby.

an array of controls, and as orders
passed back and forth by oscillator and
by submarine telephone he opened the

The maneuver was repeated with an
