Excerpt from Hunted Through Fiji: Or Twixt Convict and Cannibal That was all. The black boy had done no wrong, injured no one; but these men, these brutes rather, whose coarse faces, with one exception, indicated truly enough their yet coarser natures, were tired, and desired a little recreation, and found it in cruelly torturing a helpless Shivering child.

This volume investigates Pacific collections held in Australian museums, art galleries and archives, and the diverse group of 19th and 20th century collectors responsible for their acquisition. The nineteen essays reveal varied personal and institutional motivations that eventually led to the conservation, preservation and exhibition in Australia of a remarkable archive of Pacific Island material objects, art and crafts, photographs and documents. Hunting the Collectors benchmarks the importance of Pacific Collections in Australia and is a timely contribution to the worldwide renaissance of interest in Oceanic arts and cultures. The essays suggest that the custodial role is not fixed and immutable but fluctuates with the perceived importance of the collection, which in turn fluctuates with the level of national interest in the Pacific neighbourhood. This cyclical rise and fall of Australian interest in the Pacific Islands means many of the valuable early collections in state and later national repositories and institutions have been rarely exhibited or published. But, as the authors note, enthusiastic museum anthropologists, curators, collection managers and university-based scholars across Australia, and worldwide, have persisted with research on material collected in the Pacific. This volume is a very important one for anyone studying the art and material culture of the Pacific. It focuses on collections now in Australia. Even those well versed in museum collections from the Pacific will learn about many important but little-known collectors as well as better-known figures like the anthropologists F. E. Williams and Thomas Farrell, the husband of Queen Emma. This will be a treat for students and specialist alike. —Professor Robert L. Welsch, University of Dartmouth

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xii A human panther as pigmies could not be found on the shore /% of the Victoria Nyanza, Billy was eager to J. . push on to Mengo, the capital of Uganda, and a day or two later the travellers were on their way westward. Now the road from Port Alice to the Five-peak Hill of Mengo lay through a village of Ankole people, one of whose great chiefs was held for ransom. When the Explorer's caravan entered the village, it so happened that a native was sweeping out a hut--an unusual thing for him to do. "Why are you sweeping out the hut?" asked the astonished Explorer. "Oh! A cow is to sleep here," replied the man of Ankole. "You are sweeping out the hut because a cow is to sleep in it?" repeated the Explorer, who was quick to discern the humour of the situation. "Yes, Big White Chief, even so," answered the native of Ankole. "Would you sweep it out if it were a man that was to sleep in it?" "Of course not!" he replied, in surprise. 111 He was amazed when Billy inquired, "Isn't a man of more value than a cow?" "Why, no; does not a cow give milk?" "Ha! Ha! Ha!" was Billy's comment on the ludicrous dialogue, though it was far from being ludicrous to the man of Ankole. He, in all seriousness, considered a cow of more value than a man. And in certain cases, possibly, his theory was not far wrong. "I am reminded," said the Big White Chief, "of how I once paid a visit to some of the Fiji Islands in the Southern Sea. There the cow was differently regarded. The native Fijian babies had been dying off rapidly--so rapidly that it was feared the race would become extinct. The British Government sent learned men to the archipelago to study the situation. The question was: 'Why are the Fijians dying out?' The investigators soon discovered that the...

Kava, Piper Methysticum, is the most effective relaxing and stress-relieving plant in all of nature. This book is the tale of plant researcher Chris Kilham's investigations into this plant and his far-ranging explorations deep in the South Pacific in search of a source of kava. Kilham takes the reader on an adventurous journey through the mystical native legends, outlandish history, and exciting science surrounding this potent plant. A story replete with pulpit-pounding missionaries, kava-drinking natives, sorcerers, a mysterious Tahitian prince, and the author's own humorous outlook amidst difficult and perilous circumstances, Kava is a must-read for those who love tales of travel and adventure and those interested in plant medicine. Kava is poised to become an important and now readily available natural alternative to stress-relieving drugs.
