Apia or Page Page for barter.
All OF these new possessions are free
from dangerous animals. In the
mountains exist a few wild dogs, be-
lieved to be descendants of domestic
species left by visiting sailors. Wild
hogs also roam in herds In the forests,
and the natives say that they antedate
the first white visitors. Other fauna
are the vampire bat, the flying fox,
sometimes four feet from tip to tip
Of wings, and the remarkable tooth
bill pigeon, with three teeth upon each
side OF its lower mandible. The prin-
cipal fishes are the dolphin, monito and
mullet.
The most valuable commercial prod

OF that job. because In that case he
had NJ load to carry. To see him
m~aneuvering to get to the front was
very comical. The regulation pack
weighs 200 pounds, AID the mules soon
learn to size 1t up to a nicely, refusing
to carry anything more. For tina.
reason they are blindfolded while be-
ing loaded, otherwise they would be
continually looking around to see
whether the pack was inside the limit
On one occasion we received a coffin
to be sent to Siboney, and the old mule
referred to was selected to carry II.
The coffin weighed only twenty-five
pounds, but the mule must have con
cluded from It's size that II weighed q
ton and he Immediately began To groan
In the most pitlful manner, exactly
like a human being. When the coffin
was put on his back he pretended tc
stagger and sagged down as II he were
carrying a ten-inch gun. At the same
time he turned his head and looked al
me with a mournful expression that
was as easily read as so much print
Good heavens he seemed I o say, arc
you going to allow me to be crushed
by this enormous burden?' We were
%shrieking with laughter and tried tc
make him take his place In line, but
not an inch would he bulge. Finally
he deliberately rolled over and knocked
the coffin of. That settled It. We
let the old rascal take the bell, and
could almost hear him c~huckling as
1t was looped around his neck. An.
other mule was then blindfolded and
took on the coffin without trouble"

these people caused their island until
