Show A Cannibal Feast. Among the early missionaries to the Fiji islands were James Calvert and his wife. A band of natives had seized 14 women in order that a cannibal can-nibal feast might be held in honor of some visitors. Mrs. Calvert and another an-other missionary lady were alone at the time. They rushed through the crowd until they were before the king, though no woman was allowed to enter en-ter his presence. They begged so earnestly that the astonished king forbade for-bade the intended murder. |
