A Wttt YR BERDJG D'AILY; FIGRZER 1M FRIDAY EVENING, MAY ¢, 1922 —_— (Continued from last issue) ’ — CHAPTER XI. “Now, boys,” announced Commodore Gibney, as he sat at the head of the officers’ mess at breakfast next morn- Ing, “there’ll be a lot of cances pad- dling off to visit us within the hour, so whatever you,do, don’t allow. more than two of these cannibals aboard the schooner at the same time. Make 'em keep their weapons in the cauoes with 'em, and at the first sign of trouble shoot. ’em down like dogs. It may be that these precautions ain’t necessary, but when I was here twenty years ago it was all the rage to kill 2 white man and eat him. Maybe times bas changed, but the harbor and the coast looks just as wild and lonely as they ever 4id, and I didn’t see no sign of ‘missionary when we dropped hook last night. So-don’t-take no chances.” -+ All hands promised that they would take extreme care, to the end that their precious persons might remain intact, ~ 80 Mr. Gibney finished his cup of cof- fee at a gulp and went on deck, The Kandavu aborigines were not long in putting in an appearance. Even as Mr. Gibney came on deck half a dozen canoes shot out from the beach. Mr. Gibney immediately . piped all hands on deck, armed them, and non- chalantly awaited the approach of what might or might not turn out to be an enemy. . When the flotilla was within pistol shot of the schooner Mr. Gibney stepped to the rall and motioned them back., Immediately the natives censed padd!ing, and a wild-look:ng feiiow stood up In-the forward caron. After the manner of his kind ke had all his life soused his head in ame-water when making his savage toiletie, and @8 a result his shock of black hair stood on end and bulged out like: a crowded hayrick, He was naked, of course, and in his hand he held a huge war clab. “That feller'd eat a rattlesnake,” gasped Captain Scraggs. “Shoot him, Gib, If he.bats an eye.” “Shut up,” sald the commodore, & trifle testily; “that’s the number-one nigger, who does the talkin’. Hello, boy.” ‘ ' “Hello, cap'n,” replied the savage, and salaamed gravely. “You likee buy chicken, buy pig? Maybe you sny come 'board, I talk. Me very good friend white master.” “Bless my sweet-scented soul!” gasped the commodore. “What won't them missionaries do next? Cut off my ears If this nigger ain't civilized!" He beckoned to the canoe and it shot nlongside, and its brown crew came climbing over the rall of the Maggie I, Mr. Gibney met the spokesman at the rall and they rubbed noses very solemnly, after the manner of saluta- tion in Kandavu. Captain Soraggs bustled forward, full of importance. “Interduce me, Gib,” he said amiabiy, and then, while Mr. Gibney favored him with a sour glance, Captain Scraggs stuck out his hand and shook briskly with the native = Come along, Tabu-Tabu. Mikee little eat ‘downsin cubin, You talkee cap- tain.” “Gib, my dear boy,” sputtered Cap- taln Scraggs, bursting with curlosity, following the commodore’s reappear- ance on deck, “whatever's in the wind?” “Money—fortune,” satd Mr. Giboey, solemnly. McGuffey edged up and eyed the commodore seriously. “Sure there ain't a little fightin® mixed up In it?” he asked. “Not a bit of it,” replied Mr. Gibney. “You're as safe on Kandavu as If you was in church. This Tabu kid 1s’Sort of prime minister to the king, with a heup of influence at court, The crew of a British crulser stole him for a gulley . police when he was a kid, and he got civilized and learned to talk English. He:was a cannibal in them days, but the chaplain ahonrd showed him_how foolish it was to do such things, and finally Tabu-Tabu got re- ligion and asked as a special favor to be allowed to return to Kandavu te civilize nis people. As a result of Tabu-Tabu's efforts, he tells me the king bhs concluded that when he eats a white man he’s flyin]'in the face of his own interests, and most generally a gunboat comes along in a few months and shells the bush, and—well, any- how, there ain't been a barbecue on Kandgvu for ten years. Tt's a capital crime to eat a man now, and punish- able by boilin’ the offender alive in palm ofl.” “Well,” rumbled McGuffey, “this Tabu-Tabu don’'t look much like a preacher, if you ask me. But how about this black coral?” “Oh, I've ribbed up a deal with him,” saild Mr.. Gibney. “He'll see that we get all the trade we.can lug away. We're the first vessel ' that’s touched here_in two years, and they have a thunderin’ lot of stuff on hand. Tabu's ‘goneashore ‘to talk the king into doin’ business with us. If he consents, we'll have him and Tabu- Tabu and three or four of the sub- chiefs aboard for dinner, or else he’ll invite us ashore for a big feed, and we'll have to go.” (Continued in Next Iss=e) FROHN About one hundred persons attend- ed the school picnic given by the school district nos. 89 and 8 on the senoot grounds of district 8.

Shake hands with McGuffey, our chief engineer. Hope you left all the folks at home well, What'd you say your name was?”’ - The islander hado’t sald his name was anything, but he grinned now and replied that it was Tabu-Tabu. “Well, my bucko,” muttered McGuf- fey, who always drew the color line, “I'm glad to hear that. But you ain't the only.thing that's taboo around tbis packet. You can jest check that war club with. the -first mate, pendin’ ou better acquaintance.
