Uncle Roy's Corner

For a long time sailors In the
South Pacific had a special fear OF
the Fiji Islands. If they we're ship
wrecked and fioated to these islands
on a piece of wreckage, q certain
kind of welcome" was given to
them. The natives would kill them
and eat them With great deal of
speed!
Yes, the natives were cannibals,
and there was good reason to be
careful about the islands on which
they lived Those islands are in the
torrid zone, and there are about
$50 of them. Most of the peopls
live on Viii Leyu, the largest island.
and on Vanua Levu. the second
largest.
The name Fiji is pronounced
FEE jee." The dark-skinned ma
tives are known as "Fijis" or "Fi-
jians.'
The Fiji islands were sighted by
several sea captains in the years
between 1878 and 1900, but landings
seldom were made until after 1900.
When the whites did make visits
they took pains to carry muskets
and pistols.
In the past century the natives
have given up the custom of holding
cannibal feasts. Most of them have
taken on the Christian faith.
The Fijians are fond of decorat-
ing themselves, and for this pur-
pose they often use teeth obtained
from sperm whales. The teeth are
oiled and polished. Sometimes a
very rich native gets enough of
them to make complete necklace.
With "fuzzy-wuzzy" hair crowning
his head, and with whale teeth
around his neck, he is an interesting
sight.
The homes of the Fiji folk are
simple enough. Usually the roofs
and walls are thatched with reeds,
sugar-cane leaves, long grass or
coconut leaves.
The coconut tree is perhaps the
most important of all forms of plant
life on the islands. The meat OF
the coconut is eaten by the natives.
and they also get oil from the nut
to use in lighting their huts.
The husk of the nut is turned into
rope, and the wood Of the tree goes
into the framework of native homes.
Coconut leaves are used in making
baskets, floor mats and bedding.
