As E was talking to the king one day, some Fans brought in a dead body, which they had bought, or bartered for, in a neighboring town, and which was to be divided among them. I could see that the man had died of some dis- ease, for the body was very lean. They came round it witli their knives; and Ndiayai left me to superintend the distribution. I could not stand this j and when I saw them getting ready, I left the spot and went to my hut. Afterward I could hear them growing noisy over the di- ...vision of their horrid spoil. In fact, the Fans seem to be perfect ghouls. Those who live far in the interior practice unblushingly their horrid custom of eating human flesh. It appears they do not eat the dead of their own family, but sell the corpse to some other clan, or make an agreement that when one CANNIBAL DIET. 93 of their number dies they will return the body in ex- change. Until I saw these things I could not believe a story I had often heard related among the Mpongwe tribe, which is as follows : A party of Fans once came down to the sea-shore to view the ocean.
