The Uggards are, or fancy themselves, a warlike race: nowhere in thosedistant seas are there any islanders so vain of their military power, theconsciousness of which they acquired chiefly by fighting one another. Manyyears ago, however, they had a war with the people of another islandkingdom, called Wug. The Wuggards held dominion over a third island, Scamadumclitchclitch, whose people had tried to throw off the yoke. Inorder to subdue them--at least to tears--it was decided to deprive them ofg...arlic, the sole article of diet known to them and the Wuggards, and inthat country dug out of the ground like coal. So the Wuggards in therebellious island stopped up all the garlic mines, supplying their ownneeds by purchase from foreign trading proas. Having few cowrie shells, with which to purchase, the poor Scamadumclitchclitchians suffered a greatdistress, which so touched the hearts of the compassionate Uggards--a mosthumane and conscientious people--that they declared war against theWuggards and sent a fleet of proas to the relief of the sufferers.
