Excerpt from Life in Feejee: Or, Five Years Among the Cannibals
Expecting to embark with my husband on a long voyage to the Pacific Ocean, I was induced to make record of passing scenes and events, for my own amusement, to beguile the many lonely hours which must be experienced when far away from home and friends, and to afford some little entertainment to my personal friends on my return. Subsequently, however, those whose opinions I respect at home, and the missionaries at the Feejee Islands, with whom I had the happiness of becoming acquainted, advised me to offer my journal to the public, as it contained many facts never before published in America, and some things which have not appeared in any land. This opinion is thus expressed by Rev. James Calvert, Wesleyan Missionary, in a communication addressed to Rev. C. W. Flanders, of Beverly, Mass.
