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.
