over hear it spoken of. Some two or
three months ago I made up my mind
that I would eat at least a piece of bread
fruit out of cariosity, so I requested a
little Indian mall clerk acquaintance of

he gave it to me ho laughed and said I
wouldn't like it. That evening I invited
several of my acquaintances bo my room
to help eat my new purchase, all of them
being as ignorant about bread fruit as
mysoli excepting one, and he was going to
pilot the rest and show us the parts we
should eat. It was all a miserable failure
as the fruit seemed almost like a big
ohunk of soft glue. The follow who know
bread fruit said I had been beaten and
given a poor article, so w0 fired it out of
doors. A week later I asked my nigger
fireman if he had ever eaten bread frail.
He said not here but he had in Virginia,
