ORIGIN OF FIRE.
The Curious story Told by the soutl,
Sea Islanders.

81 .
Tf,s south sea islanders tell curious
story of the origin of fire. If they are
to be believed, they came into posses
sion of that useful element in the fol
lowing manner: A great whale was
once washed ashore upon one of tlleir
islands during the prevalence of a ter
rible hurricane. The monster became
entangled in a grove of tallow trees "a
species of evergreens whose branches
easily ignite and while crashing his
teeth in his inpotent rage struck off a
spark which lighted the grove and con-
which are said to have been perpetu-
ated since the day of the great whale
fire.. may vet be seen burning in many
parts of thasisands.
Another fire legend, believed in by
the Inhabitants of the islands to the
north of the ones in which the great
whale fire; is preserved, is to the effect
that 4 great air dragon (probably light
ning) breathed upon tallow tree and
set its branches on fire. From the Goals
left from this fire they learned OF it's
great value and have ever since used
the clement for domestic purposes and
in their religious ceremonies. They
also have a tradition that the time viii
come when the dragon will return fot
the fire and that no man will be able
to withstand him and save the sacred
spark except he be a person born With
pink eyes, fair skin and white hair
For this reason the birth of an albino
is always hailed as a good omen and
his or her person guarded with Jealous
care, so as to preserve life to it's ut.
