the American language and its Gus
toms. After the show we went into
a tent, where we found the men
squatting on the coral floor, each
with q pencil and sheet Of paper,
eagerly watching a blackboard on
which an American officer, speak
ing Japanese, had written in Eng
lish: "The teacher is sick" Each
of them tried to say 1t, and did very
well. Questions followed and the
teacher patiently explained each de-
tail.
They are not inclined TO agricul-
ture, the lieutenant explained. Fish
ing has been their livelihood. They
have gone to sea for hundreds of
miles in small outrigger canoes,
some Of which have been known to
go to the Philippines, more than 500
miles away. These little craft are
about 10 feet long, and not wide
enough for the burly male natives
to sit inside. They ride astraddle,
1t was explained, their feet hanging
in the water.
