CANNlBALS HUNTED

Disturbing reports have been re-
ceived in Port Moresby, Papua, that
in remote Rossel Island cannibalism
is being revived Recently the island
ers began to study the English Ian
guage and gave evidence that the
ways of the white men were making
themselves felt. English explorers,
however have found signs on the
island indicating that cannibalism is
being practiced again in the wilder
parts. There is some doubt that it
ever was wholly stamped out. Rossel
Island was once the scene of the
worst cannibal outrage ever known,
more than 800 Chinese shipwrecked
on their way to Australia being slain
and devoured.
