crew did fully as well as the natives on shore, but a distinctly different kind of dancing - standing and every one for themselves. Presented with one of the fiber "leis." Tuesday, August 19, 1924. North and east end of Oneata. Ashore at 7:30 to Wangai, crossed to north side of island and zigzagged back and forth through coconut groves and wooded patches between beach and swamp to east end of island. Caught a number of insects, sweeping the grass, woods and shrubs. Except that there are more kukui trees here than I have noticed on previous Lau islands, the woods are made up of the same lowland trees as elsewhere. Quite a number of low stone walls separate the coconut groves and cleared cultivated areas on the N.E. side. Collected two climbing vines not previously noticed. Came out near east end of island on the trail from Dakuloa followed yesterday and followed it to the village. Watched some small boys sailing toy "ships" on the beach. These are made from a section of coconut husk, with sails of pieces of coconut leaf (pinna), pinned to a stiff slender fiber (fern stem?) mast; several sails and masts to each boat. They have a long rudder of coconut mid rib and are counter- balanced against the wind with small bits of coral. Near the village, under the high hill is a cave containing a pool of slightly brackish water, in which the natives bathe. Walked around undercut rock shelf to a sandy beach, just east of Wangori, and through a coconut grove to the village. Two graves on the main highway, one of them the late chief's, are built up with slabs just as were the "stone ruins" on Sydney, Hull, etc. of the Phoenix group. They are about 10 x 15 feet and 6 x 10 feet covered with pieces
