Description "HOMES IN THE WATER: A MALAY VILLAGE. Lake dwellings, supported on piles standing in the water, were once well known in Europe. They now scarcely exist, save in the form of remains, studied by diligent antiquarians in ancient lake beds. But, as will be seen, the institution is a well-known and a modern one within the limits of the Queen's Empire. The strange Hide village of Pulo Brani, in the Malay Peninsula, is composed entirely of houses built on posts driven into the bed of the river. The inhabitants chiefly support themselves by fishing, and their occupation can be carried on by the simple process of dropping a line through the door of the family apartment. It is a malarious spot for those not to the manner born, but the natives live and thrive without the aid of quinine."
