From The Cork Examiner, 26 September 1890 -

THE black cannibals of Northern Queensland are
exceedingly partial to Chinamen. The reason is said to
be that the flesh of the Chinese is peculiarly tender and
palatable, owing to rice being their staple article of diet.
There is now a numerous Chinese population in the
North of Australia, and scores of them who have
ventured beyond the confines of civilisation have been
captured and devoured by the natives. This explains the
nonchalance with which the Northern Queensland
surveyor recently reported in these terms to the
Goverbnment :--"The blacks have stolen all my
provisions and sampled two of my Chinamen."
"Sampled" in this connection is good.
