The excerpt describes a voyage with four cannibals converted by missionaries, learning English and Bible reading in Fijian, pledging to abandon cannibalism, and showing interest in Christian teaching. It recalls Beecher’s critique of Barnum’s exhibition of “dying cannibals” and the plan to relocate Barnum’s show by rail to cut costs, plus a brief obituary and notes on manners and courtesy in stores.
