summoned from the crowd. The prettiest
and those OF the highest rank are selected
for this purpose. The girls squatted around
the bowl, and after thoroughly ripsng
their mouths proceeded to business. First
they would take small bite OF kava, then
n large mouthful of water and chew away
until they Judged the root sufficiently
masticated, when the whole would be
elected into the bowl. Shortly afterward
an old bag appeared with n spongy mate
rial in her hand which she mixed with the
mess in the bowl. Soaking the sponge full
she would wiring IL out as il she were wash
ing piece of linen, evidently experiencing
the greatest delight in her task.
Finally all was ready, and small cuptul
was handed to the Captain, as he was the
most distinguished guest present. After a
short speech to the chiefs, he raised the
cup TO his lips with q most pitilul but
courageous expression, and, after going
through the motions Of swallowing, handed
il rapidly back TO the attendant. Upon
occasions OF this kind semi-otiical in their
character, IL would be almost an insult TO
pass the cup and almost rs bad not TO
drink lis contents Knowing the custom,
fearing the consequences and noticing the
pale faces and agonizcd looks of the iel-
lows, several OF us managed to Withdraw

We were also honorcd by a dance dur

affair, and the number engaged must have
been at least POO. 1t took place in the
evening in the council-housc. The music
was furnished by large number OF men,
who squatted on the ground and kept no
sort Of low, droning chorus, which
would occasionally rise 10 a higher pitch.
To this they kept time by clApping their
hands. Upon signal they would rapidly
face around, 80 that alternately they faced
the dancers and the audience.
The dancers were principally young
girls and young men, scantily attircd, but
very graceful in all their movements,
They also sang, but in u much higher key
than the chorus, and without reference TO
IT, In their dances they depict by their
motions the burden OF their songs. Thus,

which an enterprising native uds himself

strange music, made up scene long TO be-
