They have q custom Of recording re-
markable occurrences In songs; and as
they assemble every evening to Rmuse
themselves with dancing and singing,
the children, While taxing part In the
innocent pleasures, learn the history OF
their country, and communicate 1t In
their turn to succeeding generations.
Don Luis de Torres, going from the
L.adroneS in q Boston whaier to visit old
friends among the Caroiineans, found
them singing about himseR In songs In
which were recorded the route to Guam
and the position Of the stars by which
the pilots found their why. Father
Cantova said that in each Village he
found houses OF separate instruction for
boys and for girls, who were taught as
tr0npmy as understood by the native
navigators. The master has q kind OF
sphere upon which are traced the prtn-
cfpal stars, and he teaches his scholars
the points Of the compass they must
follow according TO the places whittier
they would go.
Long inter the determination Of the
Ladrone Islanders, the CarOllneanS con-
tinued to be celebrated for their sea-
nsanship. Their finding their way back
from the Marshall Islands again to their
homes, and on the other side going to
and from the Philippines IN their light
vessels, shows US that their navigation
embraces a space Of forty~hve degrees
Of longitude. almost the greatest breadth
Of the Atlantic ocean. They endeayor-
ed in the Old days to choose certain
times for their voyages, and TO sail by
the light Of the moon. BY night they
steered by the stars and the moon and
by day by the sun. II the sun was COW
cred with clouds, they 9teered by the
winds until It cleared up, but naturally
they often lost their way.
Or. Nlertens said In his book that the
populations Of these Islands are 30 small
and the character Of the islanders so IA
Gle, that they find It hard to resist the
great current Of foreign corruption, and
an English authority says that a certain
class OF low white traders, instructed
them in every vice and vlllainy. It Is
hard to Judge OF another mans relig-
ion. but there would seem to be evidence
of the utter absence Of idOlatry among
the Carollneans.
As for CarolineaD history, 1t would
seem to be little more than a chrono-
logical Encouragement Of these reports
Of travellers. Though the "GeogFa-
phie Universeile' says that the uprising
OF 1890 was put down with the last de-
gree of cruelty" there is no story to
tell Of determination In the Carollnes.
After a heated controversy with Germa-
ny. and a reference to the nope as UNI
pIre, the Spanlarts took fnAa possession
OF the Caroilnes and the Pelews In 1883.
Germany took the Marshall, the Solo
mon and the Admiralty Islands, and In
1885 1889 and 1892. England took what
was left Of the little Islands Of the Pa
