. Wanderings among South sea savages and in Borneo and the Philippines. ce. Allthe villages we passed through were again deserted, but we heard the enemy crying out to one anotherin the forest and jungle, telling each other ofour whereabouts. We expected an attack, andI often nearly mistook the screeches and criesof cockatoos and parrots and the loud, curiouscall of the birds of paradise for some distantwar-cry, which was quite excusable, consideringthe state of our nerves and the sleepless nightwe had spent. The Notus were great looters, and as we passedthrough the various villages they took everythingthey could lay their hands on, and our entranceinto a village was marked by a scene of greatconfusion. Pigs and chickens were speared, betel-nut palms cut down, and himting nets, bowls, spears and food hauled out of the houses, but Monckton was very strict in stopping themfrom cutting houses and coconut palms down.Ere long we left the last village behind, and haltingjust inside the forest, sent a man up a tree, whoreported the last village we had passed through.

Monckton wasmuch puzzled that no attack had been made onus during the return journey, as he felt surethey were not afraid of us, and after we had killedso many of their people he was certain they wouldtry for revenge. He also thought they expectedus to camp that night in their country, and thatwe were only out hunting for them, as we didnot hurry away very fast, but stopped a shorttime in each village. We found the tide high, so we took o£E ourboots and waded most of the way, and in timearrived at a creek up which the sea was rushingin and out with great violence. We were helpedover by police on each side of us, who half draggedus across, otherwise we should have been washedoff our legs, so great was the suct
