Sir John Thurston Governs Fiji Islanders and Ex Cannibals
England's interests in the Fiji islands are overseen by Sir John Bates Thurston, governor of the colony. The Fiji group includes 225 islands, 40 inhabited, with a population of about 145,000 of which roughly 3,000 are white. The largest islands Vitk Leva and Vanua Leva see industrial activity under his administration. Thurston, born in Bath, led a 1803 Pacific expedition, then became consul and later governor in 1887 after Fiji became a British colony in 1874. Reforms reduced brutal practices once common among natives, including strangling and burial alive, which Christianity helped end.
