Community club on Monday evening.
The first pictures, showing maps of
the coast and a view of the luxuri-
Gus ship equipped with every COM
fort for voyagers, We're followed by
other pictures, showing the smaller
surf boats by means of which the
travellers approached the shore Of this
strange land. Mr.. Stubs described
the way in which these boats came
out through the rolling surf to meet
the large steamers, with their crews
of black natives chanting strange
songs. then lowering the newcomers
down by nanny chairs" into the
small boats, as they swung back and
forth on the swell of the surf.
After giving q few pictures show
ing village homes, with their matched
roofs and bamboo fences, Mr.. Stubs
began his description of the fascinat-
ing history of how the huge mahog-
any trees are felled and carried to the
sea. There were pictures showing
the natives perched high on the
rough scaffolding as they made the
first cuts in the mammoth trunks of
the trees; later pictures showed
teams of hundreds of dark skinned
men dragging sections of the trunk
along miles of narrow roadway up
hill and down, until the streams were
reached where the wood could be
floated down to the sea. And last
