HAZARDS OF MISSIONARY PREACHER

Sydney, N.S.W. Seven natives of Malekula, in the New Hebrides, were recently killed by the Tinambet tribesmen, and most of them were eaten by jtheir killers.

Pastor W. G. Turner, chairman of the Mission Board of the Seventh Day Adventist Conference, who has just returned to Sydney from a 1,000 miles cruise in the New Hebrides in a 14-ton ketch, said that as a result of gross im- morality and inter-tribal warfare the people of the Malekulan const were killing themselves off. They! were a fast disappearing tribe,,

One night when the mission ketch was anchored in Malua Bay, Malekula, five rifle shots were heard. A recruiting vessel, weigh- ed anchor and put to sea to avoid trouble, and as it drew away from its anchorage members of its crew | warned the mission ketch that a mission native teacher had been killed. But next morning the teacher turned up in good health.

During the following week the ¡Tinambet tribesmen came down and threatened to shoot the teach- er. The teachor, his wife and family and the few others on his station put to sea in a 'large dinghy, and remained away fron the shore all night. During their absence the Tinambet men aur- rounded the teacher's house, but, being unable to find him, went away. They destroyed a native village at Malua Bay,

After having served as Premier many times, he was defeated for that office in the last election. Many believe that the defeat will close his career.
