AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A New Britain native who shoots pigeons for a Catholic mission priest is refused permission to marry the girl he desires. Rebelling, he saves live cartridges after each hunting trip and incites his tribe to massacre the assembled missionaries at the opening of a new church. German pursuers heading for his village are held up and many killed by the hunter, who saves the last of his cartridges for himself.
