canic rocks. In the right foreground Is
a clump Of trees growing partly on the
land and partly in the water. In the
boughs are huts constructed Of bamboo
poles, lashed together and thatched with
green palm leaves. Some of the fishers

curious. A pointed hat with vast brifn.
a square cloak fastened at the neclx'
which leaves the arms and chest Der
fectly free, and breech cloth used ex-
actly like a baby's diaper. The women
are bareheaded or wear similar hats. and

proprlate ceremonies. roll of scarlet

all who come in friendship to see the
ceremony. In the afternoon and even

this time the Nihilists began their efforts
