178 REMARKS AND OPINIONS. 



The natives of Repith-Urur live in constant 

 wars among each other. The man always has his 

 arms about him, and, when he sits down to his 

 meals, he lays one lance on his right, and another 

 on his left. Human flesh is eaten at Repith-Urur. 



A long time ago, a boat, with five men from Re- 

 pith-Urur, came on the island of Relick, of the 

 Ralick chain. They fished, but caught nothing. 

 There was no want of fruit. They killed one of 

 their number, baked, and ate him. A second was 

 butchered, and devoured in the same manner. 

 The inhabitants of Relick overpowered them, and 

 killed the three that remained. 



In the island of Airick, of the Kawen group, 

 there live a man and a woman ; on the group of 

 Arno, two men and one woman, from Repitli- 

 Urur, who were cast in boats on Radack. A 

 second woman, whom the latter had with them, 

 died of thirst at sea during their long wander- 

 ing. These five people were still in Radack on 

 Kadu's arrival there. While he was there, two 

 boats from Repith-Urur arrived at the group of 

 Aur, where he was at the time, in each of whicli 

 there was a man and woman ; they said they had 

 been nine months at sea, and had lived five months 

 on fish, and without fresh water. The natives of 

 Radack wished to take up arms against these can- 

 nibals. The chiefs protected the strangers ; a 

 chief of Tabual received a man and a woman, and 

 a chief of Aur the others.
