[Gutenberg 61740] • Lolóma, or two years in cannibal-land: A story of old Fiji

Excerpt from Loloma or Two Years in Cannibal-Land; A Story of Old Fiji

In the construction of this tale I have made use of the interesting manuscript here referred to, though of course a very large portion of it was not suited to my purposes. For the rest I have relied upon my own acquaintance with the scenery of the country, and my own recollections of the manners and customs of its people, which I had opportunities of observing during my residence among them.

Some portions of the first half of this book have appeared in the Australasian in the form of short stories.
