The Cannibal Islands is a novel by R.M. Ballantyne that tells the story of a group of sailors who are shipwrecked on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean. The island is inhabited by a tribe of cannibals who are known for their brutal and savage practices. The sailors must use all their wits and resources to survive in this hostile environment and avoid being eaten by the cannibals. The novel is an exciting adventure story that explores themes of survival, courage, and the clash of cultures. Ballantyne's vivid descriptions of the island and its inhabitants make for a thrilling and suspenseful read. The Cannibal Islands is a classic of adventure literature that has captivated readers for generations.In such canoes they went forth to war upon the water, and their sea-fights were not less sanguinary than those of the land. In one battle that was fought between the people of Huahine and those of Raiatea immense slaughter took place. The fleet of one side consisted of ninety war-canoes, each about a hundred feet long, and filled with men. They met near a place called Hooroto, when a most obstinate and bloody engagement ensued. Both parties lost so many men that, when piled up on the day after the battle, the dead bodies formed a heap as high as the young cocoa-nut trees.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
