ALONE WITH CANNIBALS 
fairly large village for this part. They speak quite a 
different language from that of the Kebea and Dinawa. 
We rigged up a temporary verandah for our work. To- 
day we got a few good butterflies, but few moths at 
night; too much light. The height of our camp here 
_ is 2600 feet. We bought a pig to-day, killed it, and 
found it quite a treat; the meat was very good, and it 
afforded us fat for cooking.” 
FouLA VILLAGE 
Just before the entrance to Foula village we noticed 
the evidences of a great land-slide, which had left the 
ridge of rock, along which our path lay, as clean as a 
piece of china. The path had thus been rendered 
perilous, but the natives had had the sense to put up 
a light bamboo rail on each side, and this was ex- 
tremely fortunate, for there was hardly room for the 
foot, and a slip would have certainly meant disaster, 
for the descent was sheer on each side for several 
hundred feet. 
Foula is one of the sweetest villages imaginable. 
There are really two villages—the upper and the lower. 
The upper one contains about fifteen to twenty houses 
arranged in a circle, and the approach to it is through 
an avenue of beautiful crotons planted by the natives. 
To reach the lower village one had to descend for 
about ten minutes. This other hamlet, which is 
picturesquely situated close to a fine waterfall, is 
divided into two parts, a narrow ridge connecting 
the two. The houses in this village stand in a
