Excerpt from The Isle of Vanishing Men: A Narrative of Adventure in Cannibal-Land There comes the day when the captain greets us at breakfast with the news that we shall arrive this evening. As he selects from the heaped platter Of sliced sausage his favorite variety he tells us that we shall sight land at one this afternoon. We are agog with excitement. The cannibals are not far away now. We ply him with questions and as he spreads his bread with marmalade he tells us of the Kia Kias and what their name means. To be kikied, he avers, is to be eaten, the natives are eaters of men, hence the name. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
