9We are strictly q moral communi;
tvs No drunkenness is allowed, and
beyond the little whisky that II doled
out from the palace, no intoxicating
liquors are obtainable on the islands.
There was a time, not so long ago,
when the natives manufactured their
own fire water. They brewed a con-
coction from cocoanuts, which they
called palm toddy.' They got drunk
on it-nastily drunk-and the result
was a law prohibiting every possible
variety Of palm toddy. Today, so far
as l know, there isn't a drop of that
toddy obtainable on the islands"
His Majesty went on to describe
the principal city of the island group
and its domestic life. New Selma is
its name, and its population is barely
700-all, with two or three exceptions,
Malays, of whom Inin, the Queen
Mother. is one. New Selma boasts a
modern school in which Arabic and a
little English are taught, and the
young idea is trained in the tenets of
Mohametanism, which is the religion
of all proper Malayans. All marrying
and giving in marriage has to be done
through the New Selma registry Office
after his Majesty has approved of
the efunion. To understand the divorce
laws of the kingdom it is perhaps
necessary to be New Selman; they
are a little complicated. Like his
father before him. the new king was
sent to Scotland (the home of his an
cestors) to be educated.
It will be only in accordance with
the fitness Of things IL King Sidney
marries in the islands. as his forbears
did. His grandfather married the
beautiful Sinia Dupong, a Malay of
royal Solon blood, whilst the late king

one might go picking up gold and

was no lack of confirmation OF the
fact that remarkable discovery had

the find is valuable, and that there is
