I have often observed the women with an axe or chopping knife, fixing posts for the stages, whilst the men were sauntering about idle. Early in the morning I have seen the men setting out in their boat, with two or three fox looking dogs, for certain places to hunt the wild hog, which they call Ben, a dog they call Naf.

This is like the custom of the Batta people on Sumatra, and the Idaan or Moroots on Borneo, where, I am told, the bachelors are separated from the young women and the married people. " At Dorey were two large tenements of this kind, about four hundred yards from each other, and each had a house for the bachelors close by it : in one of the tenements were fourteen cabins, seven on a side...

Forrest states that a Harafora, by receiving an axe or chopping-knife from a Papua, makes his land or his labour subject to a perpetual tax of something, according to agreement. If the Harafora looses the instrument, he is still subject to the tax, but if he breaks it or wears it to the back, the Papua is obliged to give him a new one, or the tax ceases. Commerce. — No European nation has at present any commercial intercourse with...
40 페이지 - The sago bread, fresh from the oven, eats just like hot rolls. I grew very fond of it, as did both my officers. If the baker hits his time, the cakes will be nicely browned on each side. If the heat be too great, the corners of the cakes will melt into a jelly, which, when kept, becomes hard and liorney ; and, if eat fresh proves insipid.

Some of their piratical cruizers are very long and narrow, being frequently fifty feet long and only three broad, with outriggers, to enable them to carry sail. They use the tripod-mast, and row with great velocity. In bad weather they throw out a wooden anchor, and veer away a long rattan-cable, which keeps the head to the sea.
