a Caroline islands Legend.

The Caroline islands group includes
besides coral islands five mountainous
islands OF basaltic formation. beautiful
and fertile With rivers. and springs.
Among the many queer legends of
these children of the Pacific there is
none mere highly improbable than
their theory to the origin of these is
lands and their Inhabitants. They
think they themselves We're very strong
in the water-in fact. they lived in it.
The story goes that a woman and her
children We're floating around OH the
reef when a man appeared from the
west with basket of soil on his shoul-
ders. He had started out to make an
island with mountain on it. One Of
the children cried out to him, "Give us
n little soil to make place for our
mother to rest. for she is very weak
and cannot swim.' He took out Il
handful of the earth and threw it
down. making an island AS the man
was going on his way over the water
the son slyll:: made hole in the bas-
ket, SO as lie proceeded on his way he
left q trail of land behind. Suddenly
he became conscious that the basket
seemed light, and. looking around, he
saw the land. In his anger he turned
about and trod upon it. and thus the is
lands We're formed.
