return to Oneata was giving another feast. Cans of beef, cooked sweet potatoes and Nakalolo (pudding) were carefully divided into ten piles for distribution among the families of Wangori, and the pig was cut up. Meanwhile Yaqona was prepared. The root was bought at the store in dried form, coming from Suva, about 3 pints of the dry lumps being turned over to the mixer. It was next pounded up in a wooden cyllinder with a heavy stick. Placed in bowl and water added. Strained with a "mop" of coconut fiber. I sat in state between the buli or chief of the village and the old Tongan, who was master of ceremonies. On the other side of the chief was the matani vanua or magistrate. We sat on a mat a little above the rest of the people who were clustered about the bowl (on both sides and behind, not in front). The Yaqona is always mixed by a young man or girl, in this case by one of the young "bucks." It was served in a coconut shell cup by the daughter of the man giving the feast, a girl of about 18, with good features and jet black hair, in contrast to the reddish hair (caused by lime?) of most of the girls. When a "cup" was ready for serving one of the young men near the mixer sang out something; the matani vanua would call the name of the person to receive the "cup", which person would clap his hands, so that the passer could locate him. When the chief drank all clapped. Bought a stone chisel for 6 pence and a broken one of similar shape for 3 pence. Also bought a large native wood pillow - "kali," for 4 shillings and a smaller one for 3 shillings. Both made of vesi (Afzelia bijuga) wood. On board schooner and returned at 8:30 P.M. to see a Fijian Dance Preceeding the dance the chief men of the village and our party were furnished more (kava) Yaqona. We sat on the mat covered floor of one of the large houses.
