Some incidents of a lady’s life in the wilds of New
Guinea. Miss Ker went out to Papua--as the country is now
called--attached to a mission, and describes the many strange,
amusing, and exciting experiences she encountered during her
seven years’ sojourn among the natives, who, not so very long
ago, were always fighting and much addicted to cannibalism--a
practice which still prevails among the wild tribes of the
unexplored interior.
