p. 49 · Read in the full issue
The photo, shows the monument of Ratu Udre Udre, a notable native chief of Ra, Fiji, whose death occurred some 30 years ago. Travel ling from Suva on the King’s Road, one sees this monument on the left side of the road, in Wai laka, Ra. It is believed to be built on the spot where the chief was buried. He was notorious as a cannibal —it was said that he ate, during his lifetime, parts of not less than 900 human beings, and he was proud of this achievement.
Perhaps this was why he lived 101 years—his age, when he died.—A. Raman.
