of tapa (called samusamu), shells, bottles, and patterns of stones. Saw a small boy in the village walking on"stilts" made of half a coconut and a fiber of vau (Hau) bark. They place the cork between the big toe and next toe with the ball of the foot on the nut and walk as do children in America on tin cans. In the evening the chief and most of the young people came aboard the schooner with presents and gave us another dance on deck. The presents I received consisted of a bottle of coconut oil and another dance ornament (furnishedherewith.) Wednesday, August 20, 1924. Komo Island. Up anchor at 6 A.M. and underway for Komo with the sunrise. Anchored off N.W. end of Komo at 9:40 and ashore by 10 A.M. The north face of Komo rises abruptly from the sea in an E.-W. ridge averaging 150' to 290' high, the summit being 270'. The south slope is more gradual, with a flat of greater or less extent, up to 1/4 mile wide, next the sea. The island is volcanic in origin and is underlain by basalt similar to that of Mothe, there being numerous outcrops, especially on the points. Walked around south beach to the village which is located toward the S.E. end. It is of moderate size, and appears the worse for some recent blow, which has leveled several of the houses. Population perhaps 150 to 200. Bought a hand fish net from an old woman who had just come in from catching fish with it. The cotton part of the net was "papalagi," but the shell weights and general arrangement was distinctly native. Paid 2/-. Saw an old man making a fish basket trap, and persuaded him to make me a sample one. They are woven from the Leguminous beach vine with leaves in threes and a pink flower.
