LINER’S CAPTAIN TELLS A TALE
OF CANNIBAL ISLES; SIX MEN EATEN
♦*_
SAN PEDRO, Aug. 25.—Deepwater
skippers of Dollar “around-the
world” steamers are getting the rep
utation of being among the briny’s
most interesting yarn spinners.
First there came the “floating
island” discovery, backed up by
photographs. Now along saunters
Captain Kenneth B. Lowry, master
of the President Garfield, who tells
a thrilling story of cannibals in the
Indian ocean.
It happened off the island of
Boeosmuto, according to the cap
tain. His ship was passing the
little blotch of land in the dead of
night an route to Suez and Port
Said. Knowing there should be a
light on the island, the Garfield’s
I quartermaster called Lowry’s atten
k tion to its absence.
_ “Rather than take a chance on
our course,” said the skipper, when
cently, “we anchored for the night
“In the morning we were putting
boats overside to investigate the
light’s excuses for not showing,
when we were shocked to see hun
dreds of naked savages ,armed with
spears, spring suddenly out of the
jungles and run down to the shores.
“They were yelling some kind of
gibberish, apparently meaning they’d
eat us if we came ashore. We stay
ed on the ship.”

The Suez, Captain Lowry reported
the occurence, he said.
“They didn’t seem a bit perturb-;
ed,” he chuckled. “In fact they
told us that it was an ordinary hap
pening—that six of their lighthouse
keepers had been killed and eaten
uy the island’s cannibals.
“ ‘They’d send a new man out,’
they assured me.”
