. Wanderings among South sea savages and in Borneo and the Philippines. d, excitedvoices. Our own party soon got excited, too, and, as may be imagined, I was longing to find out thecause of all this excitement. Vic soon told me thereason. It appeared that on the previous daya large party of our Negritos had gone into theterritory of the Buquils in order to get variouskinds of forest produce (as they had often donein the past), and had been treacherously attackedby these Buquils, and many of them killed.
