When the King declares war a formality which he carefully observes year after year he rarely tells even the chief "i 'cabo eee'rs" the name of the .town he in tends to attack. , The army marches out' and when within a day's journey or so of its unhappy objective, point silence at pain of instant death is en joined and no fires are permitted to be lighted. All stragglers are taken prisoners', and the army is led through a road cut through the bush, and not along the regular, highways. . . The town is surrounied in dead of night, and just before day break a .rush , is maider and evervman.

Cannibalism, or some thing thgit approaches it very, nearly, enters ito the rites of the" rjinth 4 or concludmff ceremony of the yearly custom. ? Four men, known- as the 4 menduton Or canibals each furnished with shaf peped sticks by way of knife and totK, are stationed in'front of the platform' from which the victims are thrown before ;tlecapitation. When the first - captive 4s beheaded they take the body and cut off pieces of flesh; which they rub with, palm oil and roost over a fire kindled in the square, before the platform. The human flesh is then skewered on the pointed sticks and carried round be fore the crowd, after which x these fiends parade before the State pris oners, and go through the action ;of eating the sickening morsels. r JThey chew the? human meat before the terrified captives, but do not swallow it; and when they have worked upon the fears of the poor wretches for a suflicient time they retire, and, spit ting out ihe chewed flesh, take strong native medicine, which acts as an emetic, and it is to be sincerely hoped that the dose is by no means stinted.
