A whole roasted pig, big white
potato-like yams, an especially pre
pared eocoannt cream pudding, and
tropical fruits were items on the
bill of fare when Mrs. Anne Lands
burv Beck, professor of music, and
her brother, John J. Landsbury, dean
of the school of music, were guests
of honor at a banquet given on one
of the Tonga Islands, Mrs. Beck told
the students in an informal talk on
the South Sea Islands at yesterday’s
assembly.
The young native host was the
‘talking man’ or particular knight
of the fourteen-year-old princess,
sister of the .present queen of the
Tonga monarchy, who boarded their
steamer on her way to Australia to
study for three years, according to
Mrs. Be<;k.
Leaves Figure in Feast
When the party arrived at the
“talking man V’ home they were
taken out to the cocoanut grove
where the feast was being prepared.
Chickens, wrapped in leaves covered
with hot stones, were being cooked
in a pit where a whole pig on a spit
was being roasted and, most im
portant of all, where the cream for
t he pudding sauce was being
squeezed from the cocoanut meat
into a hand-made bowl. Later it
was boiled by having three piping
hot stones dropped into it, until it
turned brown and smelled like cara
mel.
Mrs. Beck said that the guests
were takdn to a house the host had
built for the banquet, and long
strips of tin covered with leaves
were laid before them as a table
cloth. Upon this was placed the
meats, yams, lobsters, breadfruit,
clams, cooked bananas, leaves bidd
ing sail, and husked coeonnnts with
a hole in the top to serve as goblets.
The knife to carve the pig was the
only instrument on the table. A
wilted banana leaf shaped into a
sack held the chunks of tapioca
pudding, ot'er which was poured the
hot, caramel-like sauce. It was eat
en with a spoon fashioned of the
fibers of the cocoanut palm, while
a mixture of finely-ground oranges
and the coenanut, although a watery
concoction, was also eaten with a
leaf.

Hip oiip that makes tlio triangular
intor-island triji from Suva, tho c.ap
itnl of flip Fijis, wlfich lies about
a nine days trip south of Honolulu,
li, Tonga and Homo a ohfe a month.
Tho ono-hundrod-year celebration .of
Hip landing of Hip missionaries was
being hold when they reached Ton
ya, and tho ijiissionarica •from tlip
neighboring islands rot'..red homo
on flip same stpamor. Thp princess
was also a passenger, as was the
island team on its way to defeat the
.Samoans and Fijis at Rugby foot
ball. Tho Fiji stevedore crew and
the 200 deck passengers completed
the boat load.
The football men sang a song of
a dozen or more verses that they
had composed for the princess, the
speaker said, who added that she
was struck with the sense of tonali
ty in the song agd the wav the
singers had of slipping in little
melodies, and that while there was
an abundance of base voices an
obligato tell or warbled along through
the song.
Mrs. I leek said that the island na
tives seldotn sleep when the moon
is shining in order not to miss the
spectacle, so the football foam, did
their workouts then, which consisted
principally of -skipping rope. These
islanders are splendid-bodied Poly
nesians, largely of Caucasian blood,
she explained, but it is not known
of what other race they come, al
though it is not Mongolian.
“Tonga and (foil belong to me” is
an old saying among the natives,
who walk as though they own tho
world, Mrs. Heck said. She added
that they are the aristocrats of the
Pacific.
Suva Kipling Scene
To live in Suva, the first stop
after Honolulu and the city to
which the steamV returns after the
triangular trip, is to iivo a Kipling
story, is her opinion. The popula
tion is composed of native Fijians,
Fast Indians imported to. till the
sugar plantation*, English} and a
few Americans.
“When Song Is Sweet” and “Old
Mister Piper” were the selections
Mary Cather.in Miller sang for the
student body. Hilly O’Bryant play
ed “I’m Coining, Virginia” in
piano-player style and “When Day
Is Done,” following them with
“Charinaine,” as an encore.
