HOW THK ISLANDERS MET THE

FIRST VANKEK. I AM now going to tell you a little of other early islanders who weic not so vicious, and how ono lino morning the natives made the acquaintance of an American inau-of war, in fact, a very closa acquaintance, ami of the great moral tiny learnt thereby. Upon tho southern cost of Na Viti Levu (Big Fiji), was a small uninhabited island ; it waß about a mile from the mainland, and au Amcricau vessel left three men here to trade, tho captain paid tho chief, Na Koroduadua, for protection, and got him to have erected a dwelling-house, store, aud drying sheds, for which he paid liber ally, giving them the trade they asked for. After pointing out to bis men tlie line of conduct they were to pursue, and upon no account to anuoy or aggravate the natives, ho sailed away aud iormod other stations of a similar nature. He had only bcou gouo but a few weeks when trouble arose, and a great deal of mischief was done, as you shall hear. The names of the threo men wore Seth,

Bill, and McC r, they had a good whale boat left with them, and it was the duty of one of thorn to go in her every day on a short trading trip, cither up or down the Coast, or across to the islaud of Bega ; they kuew it was very dangerous to go "beyond the jurisdiction of the Chief, "Na Kuruduadua," who was now their protector, iv fact ho had warned them uot to do so, or they might peihaps be killed, aud upon the rcvuru of the captain with his vessel, he might bo blamed. It was the especial duty of Mao to look after the store and drying sheds. Seth and Bill took it in turns to do the boat trading, bringing homo the bOche-de-mer every night, which was clcaucd upou the island, boiled ior a short time, and then hung up to dry, the fish being kept open with a small stick of bamboo. There are several kinds of this slug or trepang, the best being known as teat fish, This fetches a very high prico iv the Chinese market. The next in value is the red, then black fish, nud lastly " diro," which is only worth about £8 per ton. A good deal depended upon the curing, for if not properly per formed, tho trepang soon became full ot wee-.il, and unlit ior export. Now a good many natives came across to the island to trade ; some of thorn were exceedingly in solent, bold, aud impudent, aud at last bean to demand trade without giviug any thing ill return, rind Mac could scarcely command his temper, when those cannibals scoffed and jeered at him; but he knew full well tbat if he had laid bauds on one of them that the store Would bo instantly plundered, and tho whites massacred, so flo bit bis lips and had to remain silent. Amongst this baud of natives wbo generally came every day, was a petty chief, very dirty, very forward, aud in fact the ringleader of the lot; he was afflicted with a very loathsome disotso called "vidikoso,"a sort of complaint be tween leprosy aud scrofula ; this had broken out upon his left arm iv a large running wound, and as he knew he was veiy un pleasant to the olfactory organs of Mac, he took great delight in annoying him by always getting close to his side, and especially when the white men went to their meals. A CASUS BELLI. One hot day after Bill had left with tho -whaleboat and breakfast was ready, Mac aud his mate sat down to table, both rather irritable, for it was very close weather, and the natives had boon more than usually trying to them that morning, when to their disgust in walked this abomination of a savage, and made himself quite at home, placing himself in the best fight he could to exhibit his disease. Mac could stand it no longer, for all the victuals were covered with flics by the entrance of this fellow, so he told him to "go outsido," at the same tune letting him plainly sec his disgust, and pointing to bis arm. The cannibal s eyes glowed, and rising up suddenly ho drew his arm right across the white man's face, who up fist and knocked him dow n. He got up again, and with his men retired to the mainland. Thinking that after this occur rence no more natives would visit the island that day, Mac and Seth went to the back of the island to try and get a few iieh and crabs for their supper. The island bein" only about 200 acres in area, it did not take them long to arrive at the hshing- Rr°Und'SACKING THE STORE.

After about an hour, Seth saw over tbo tops of the cocoa-nut trees in the direction of the store what he took to be emoke. He called to Mac, who, after a look, said, " Seth, my hoy, we are in for it; ♦hose cursed niggers have burnt us out. God help us ; I expect they will murder and scoff us next thing. It is partly my fault for striking that abomination this morning, but I could not help it, my dander was real up. Let us go and know the worst." What was their surprise upon rouuding the last poiut to see some five or six hundred savages in full war paint, dancing and yelling like madmen, and their store and sheds in flames, the trade cloth being rapidly torn up in fathom lengths, with which their native gentry rapidly decorated themselves with ; they had got at some rum too, and many of them were ex ceedingly lively; things looked anything but healthy for the two white men, wtio, directly they were espied, were surrounded and clubbed down ; poor Seth was killed outright, but Mac, not he:ng quite dead, was tied fast and carried by some strong men, who dropped him gently alongside of a large native oven, the stones of which were getting rapidly hot. FIGHTING OVER A WHITE MAN'S BODY. Now, the "abomination," as Mac called Ihe loathsome native and another chief camo to have a look at tbo oven, for they were longing for a taste of white man, quite a new dish for tnem.Finding Mac still alive, although in great agony, the one chief ■wanted to keep and trade him away for muskets to the next whaler that came that way To this the "abomination would not agree—nothing but his dead and cooked body would satisfy him. "I will eat him, he said, " and mako needles of his bones to mend my canoe sails with." Then arose angry words between those two, which at last came to blows, the whole of the natives divided, and both sides went at it properly, sometimes the "abomination's" party got the best of it, at others those that wanted to keep Mac alive bad the upper hand. It was rather a trying time to Mac, what with having a fractured skull, and being tied like a pig, together with a tropical sun over head, and a glowing oven in front of him, the mad cannibals lighting among them selves as to whether he was to he eaten or bartered away for trade; in fact, as he said himself he guessed he was about to be cx tincted, and felt sick in consequence, and wondered what his poor old mother would say if she saw him in this fix, and he wished he was at home again, as he did not want to travel to any more foreign parts; he was just full up of that, aud concluded that it was tempting Providence, etc. The end of it was that the " abomination's " partly got beaten, and fled to the mainland, leaving ; their dead behind them. However, they | met poor Bill with the boat and murdered him, as a sort of sop to soothe their ruffled feelings. Mac was taken care of, and j finally exchanged for a few muskets to a l trading vessel. Ho was very shaky and lighthearted at times, but somehow he managed to get to Sydney and sec tho doctors, who secured some silver plates into his head, and patch etl him up. HOW THE AMERICANS EXACTED REPARATION. He returned again to Fiji after com municating with the American authori ties who in a short time sent down a man-o'-war to demand satisfaction for this outrage upon her subjects, and the gallant captain, after much pationce and waiting, not being able to come to any terms as to compensation for their outrages, determined to toach these cannibals a severe lesson, and show them they could not murder American citizens with impunity ; and right well (lid he per form his duty, and an American was gener ally left alone and in peace after the depar ture of the warship. This is what the officer in command did after all peaceable measures had failed ; ho directed overnight that five boats, containing about eighty men, properly armed with pistols and cut lasses, be got ready to attack tho chief Na kuruduadua's town of Navua at 3 o clock next morning, the oars to bo muffled, and rockets and tubes to be placed in each boat, ready for action. At 2 a.m., under the direction of a guide as pilot the boats en tered the Naova Hirer, and silently passed tho native town of Naitata. The tide was running strongly up tho river, so hey moved along at good speed-their muffled oars was making no noise-after pulling about three miles, the boats drew in quietly under the bank, and the greater portion ot the men landed, but had strict orders not

to storm the placo until the rockets had done their work, and then only at the word of command. Navua Town was situatd immediately upon the brink of the bank, and full of people, in fact, the most densely populated along the coast; the boats now commenced the .-oik ot destruction, the rockets went throughand through the houses, and amidst yells and screams of fear, the natives poured out of thoir domiciles, lint only to bo mowed down in dozcis. At lirst they thought " De.^ei " (their heathen god) was playing at this work ot slaughter, but when tbo officer iv command oi tho boats gate the order, in a loud clear voice to bis men to " charge," they altered their views: too bite however, for tin; seamen nre on them, and complete this severe castigation, which they drew upon themselves -the town inflames " Kuru duadua " and a remnant of his people escape far into the mountains to his town of "Niuiiosi," and nothiug could ever tempt him to live ou or near the sea coast agaiu. He learnt, but at the eleventh hour, that be was not as he imagined, the strongest power iv tho world. And tho " abomination " was gathered to his fathers, to Mac's great satisfaction.

SUPREME COURT.-This Day.

Civil Sittings,

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond aud a Special Jury.)

National Bank of New Zealand v. Beedell and Fiei d, claim £2800 5s 2d, money lent to defendants, or paid for them with interest thereon.—Messrs K. and S. Hesketh appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr McCormick for the defendants.

In opening the case Mr E. Hesketh said he whs sorry that the Court and jury had been troubled with the actiou for it was peculiarly adapted for determination by one gentleman rather than by twelve.The parties, however, had not boen able to agree upon an arbiter and the matter had therefore in the ordinary course come into Court. He would briefly state the nature of the case. Some time last year a brewer of the name of Suiter called a meeting of his creditors, and eventually filed a deed of arrangement which wai subsequently declared com p'ctely executed, theteoy releasing him from his liabilities. It was ngiccd that the present dofoudants should tako over Suiter's brewery business, and beyond that his liabilities as well paying upon the un secured debts au accommodation of 7s Gd in the £, ond the paying upon tho secured debts the full amount of 20s in the £. The b:mk at that time held a mortgage over Suiter's brewery, and a bill of sale by viituc ot which they were in possession. They agreed to release both heirs, aud givo up possession of the property to Beedell aud Field on condition that thoy opened ah account with them (the bauk), and took over Suitor's liabilities. These consisted of £1,135 upou an open account, aud certain cash credit bonds, besides some others which wero of a contingent character, such as discounted bills. The bauk further agioed to mako advances for the defendant's firm, and in consequence certain liabilities were discharged on their behalf, and notably one of £G4O to the Bank of New South Wales. The learned gentleman thou proceeded to detail the various stages iv tbe negotiations betweeu the parties, after which he called evidence. David Hcan, manager of the Auckland branch of the Natioual Bank, deposed that on tho 17th November, 1879, the defendants became customers of his bank, Prior to that time he had had a customer named W. J. Suiter, who was indebted generally upon au open account aud jointly upon cash credit. At the tine Suiter called a meeting of his creditors tho Bank was fully secured, having a mortgage over the brewery, aud a bill of sale over' the plant and stock by vitrue of which tlicy were ia possession. Both he and the defendants attended the tho preliminary meeting of creditors. Prior to that he had had no business knowledge of them. The extent of Suiter's liabilities to the Bauk as represented by the open account was £1,153, but in addition to this amount there were Ihe contingent liabilities. Field made overtures for the purchase of the building at that time (a few days before tho 17th of November) ond witness entertained them so far as to re commend Mr Heather to become surety for them by a cash credit of £2000, ho getting ample security from the defendants.and the Bank agreeing togivc up their securities and possession of the brewery plant. Mr Heather acceded to this, and Beedell aud field be came customers of the Bank on the 17th November. He paid their overdraft at the Bank of New South Wales, at Mr Field's request, receiving the usual cheque in acknowledgment. He obtained the firm's signature at tbe same time from Mr Field, and on the following day from Mr Beedell also. The limit of credit was to bo £2001), Mr Field having stated that that am unit would be ample to pay all outstanding claims against Suiter. They expected that £1300 would be sufficient and they under took to pay £50 per month. This under taking, however, was not acted up to, and tho overdraft went up to and occasionally exceeded the £2000 limit. He believed that the defendants were then carrying on Suiter's business, the trade of three houses being secured through cash credit bonds. So far ns he knew Suiter's customers generally continued to deal with the defen dants. Tho bank retired from possession of the brewery on the 17th Nov. 1879, but subsequently tbey received from the defen dants a mortgage over it. Early in January, ISBO, a cheque tor £53 for well-sinking, signed by Mr Field, was presented by a bookmaker, and not liking the channel through which itcame, he deemed it his duty toscndforMrßeedell.havingfirst|made othor enquiries about Mr Field. Both partners called upon him, and he then told Mr Beedell about (lie cheque, aud also that he had learnt that Mr Field had been gambling. Mr Bscdcll made light of the matter, saying that Mr Field had made a satisfactory ex planation to him. I order to protect the Bank he (witness) drafted a written stipulation that in future all c/eques should be signed by both partners i/nd to this they appended their names. (Stipulation produced aud read.) A condi tion in that document was also that Mr Mowbray should supervise tho accounts and report regularly to the Bank. This was made because the accounts had bscn in an unsatisfactory state. The account did not go on any bettor after this, and from enquiries instituted at this time, he learnt that they were considerably pressed by outside liabilities. Subsequently ho called up the cash credit both from the defendants and from Mr Heather, but out of considera tion for the later gentleman he did not enforce the demand. It remained in exis tence for some time. He bad heard that there was some chance of the mill being sold. On the lSth November last (just a year after the making of bond) Mr Heather paid the £2,000. Before the presentation of the cheque for well-sinking the defen dants' accounts had beon in an unsatis factory state, but the event referred to was that which led to the making of enquiries. He had sent the firm frequent reminders of the fact that their account was overdrawn. On the 18th of May, 1880, the bank made a demand under the mortgage (demand pro duced) for £2,630 12s Id. This did not include all the contingent liabilities,

MINING NEWS.

1 Success. — The following is the mine manager's report: I forward you another small parcel of gold and specimens per contain of steamer. I forward this stone because it differs from the last I sent you in appearance and quality. The reef is improving as wrought on. I think I am gettiiigjundcr the ran of gold in tho level above!" In No. 2 level I got somo lair prospects, the reef is improving as wrought on, and similar in appearance to what it was before, varies in size about three and four inches at present.—Peter I eid.

New Golden Pail—The following is the mine manager's report: Work has been carried on ns fast as possible in all parts of the mine. Intermedial level, west drive : Leader is about four inches thick and of good appearance. No 3 leader 80 feet level is improving as drived on, and some stone with good blotches of gold has hcen obtained.— W. G. MARTIN.

Old Caledonian.—The mine manager's report is as follows :—I have taken down about 10 feet of No. 2 reef in winze No. 3 level. It is about 3 feet 6 inches in width. The hanging wall portion, about 1 foot in thickness, is almost a mass of mineral; the other portion is composed of a bluish qiurtz, and well mineralised, but there has been no gold seen in it. I have the whole that has be en broken down now in the hopper awaiting an opportunity to crush it. The No. 2 reef, No. 1 level cross-cut, has been gone into 8 feet in the roof of the drive. It is still very hard and troublesome. It is charged with good minerals, and now in the face die quartz is getting blacker, which is not a bad indication. The quartz which has been broken from this reef has a kindly appearance, though no gold has been seen. I believe it carries gold, whether in payable quantities or not, I shall prove by sending a trial to the mill as soon as possible, i have had some very dangerous work clear in" out HenvePs old passes, which have be'en filled by the Golden Urown with very large rocks of sandstone and old timber,

The men have to go against it and take it out by hand, which is very Blow work. I think it will tako pretty much of noxt week before I shall be able to start there properly,- T. 15. Hicks, Moanataini. —Nonpareil—The low level is now being cleanod out and repaired east ward, in order to get under the Waitemata. There is no change to mention in Point Russell.—Soft level—ln driving south, a a large quantity of water has been tapped, indicating the proximity ot quartz. In the stopes there is nothing fresh to report. During the past tour weeks, 572 tons quarz has boen treated, including 14 cwt picked stone, yielding 175 ounces retorted gold. A largo proportion of the stuff crushed has been obtained from the surface in the morning star section.— ROBERT CON NOR, Thames, April 23.

ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY.

SPECIAL MEETING,

A srECiAL meeting of the Acclimatization Society was held this aiteruoon to consider a letter from Wellington relative to tho protection of hen pheasants. There were present:—Messrs Bull (in the chair), J. A. Pond, S. Morrin, McKecbnie, and James Russell.

PROTECTION OF HEN PHEASANTS.—TIIO following letter on this subject was read :— Colonial Secretary's Office, Wellington, April 11th, 1881.—Sir, I have tho honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th instant, stating that the Acclima tisation Society, upon information recently received, are of opinion that hen pheasants should be protected in tho counties of Tauranga and Whakatanc during the comiDggame season. In rrply, I amdirectcd to inform yon tbat it has been thought best to protect hon pheasants throughout the Auckland Provincial District, and that therefore cock phensants only have been declared open to be shot.—l have, &c, G. 8. CoorEß. The Chairman said this was the first time the Government had run counter to the requests of the Society, and ho thought it rather extraordinary. Such a course was "rcatly to be deprecated. Onless cogent reasons were offered to the con trary, the recommendations of the Society should always be adopted. While further protection might meet with the approval and secure the corporation of the settlers in the Bay of Plenty district, he felt assured that it would provoke great opposition from the settlers in the north. Their object should be to carry the settlers with them as far as possible—Mr Jas. Russell said the result would bo that the settlers would poison the pheasants. . They would not stand tho annoyance which further protection would subject them to. —Mr Pond remarked that Mr Whitnkor's opinion vtas that someone had blundored over the matter in Wellington, bnt it cer tainly did not appear so from the lotter.— Mr James RusbcU moved :—" That in the opinion of this Council, any measures for protecting pheasants or other game should come from larmors or settlers through the County Council of the district where the protection is required, and that the Council deprecates the action of tho Govern ment in protecting hen pheasants in the provincial district of Auckland, excepting Whakatane and Taurauga Counties for the coming season, in opposi tion to the expressed desire of the Council." — Mr S. Morrin seconded the motion which was carried.—On tho motion of Mr Morrin, the Chaiimau and Mr James Russell were appointed to wait upon the Hon. Mr Whitaker with respect to the matter.

Bees.—The Secretary reported that a hive of Ligurian bees had been received rom San Francisco, and placed in the Garden«.—lt was agreed that they should remain there for the present, and that the Secretary should see tbat Ihey wero well looked after. English Seeds.—Ten pounds were voted for the purchase of English seeds, and the monthly accounts having been passed, the meeting terminated,

" t \i tne maMngot books there is noend," \J wrote an inspired author in the infancy of the world, thousands of years beforo the art pre servative of all arts waa discovered. But book making now Is a vory diflerent thing from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously penned his word of wisdom on papyrus. Indeed, nowa-daya the world is almost "em barras dcs roohesses " of learning, " quaint and olden" and bright and new, embalmed in books. And much ot this learning is liberally supplied by modern publishers, such as Casseli, Petter and Galpin, Collins, Chambers, and a legion of others. Not only are tho works isbued by these firms of the highest practical uso, but thoy are sent out in handsomo exteriors, illustrative of tho remarkable progress that has been made in book illumination. Nothing in our opinion tends to civilise or beautify a home bo much as good books and pictures. You can form a good idea of a raun from his library. The great difficulty with many in obtaining books of a high class in nearly every depart ment of literature Ib the almost prohibitive price at which thoy are issued from the press, and it is really a boon to society whon -works of admitted excellence are brought within the reach of persons of moderate means by the admirable System of Time Payments.
