ne 10 never Happy Unless On ma.
rauding Expedition.
The Moro Is brave 10 fearlessness, q
born pirate and essentially first class
fighting man. He is never happy un
less on a marauding expedition and
stealing from his neighbors, friends
and foes alike. The chief who is the
most successful thief is the most re.

chiefs.
The Moro trades with his neighbors
on market days in the various coins
Of the realm and foreign moneys. Al
other times he is free ocean rover,
extending his trading voyages as far
north as the islands of Negros and
Panay, south to the Celebes and Bor-
neo and westerly to the Palawan. He
Is the most successful of smugglers,
and little act Of piracy when chance
offers goes without mention. The Moro
Is the most perfect Of aquatic beings,
the most skillful small boat sailor or
large 'prau" navigator extant He can
NO more drown than can a fish. There
is no record OF drowned Moro. He
can dive to the bottom of the sea at
depths OF from twenty-five to a hun
dred feet for the valuable mother-of.
pearl shell, and his life is largely lived
at sea from infancy. Along the coast
many Of the Moro villages are built
