| Flowers, leaves, and matting are all his costume, but though simple in tastes and chivalrous in manner, this Samoan is not without a leaning towards bellicosity, and can remember the time when he regarded the head of an enemy as his choice trophy | As both men stand more than seven feet high, they give a measure for the size of the remarkable sting-ray they have caught. Among other things, these great blacks are the sea turtle riders described by the exploring De Rougemont, whose fame has been revived by the discoveries of the recent expedition from Perth to Lacrosse Island and other points in North-Western Australia |
