m ■■..■■.■■■■■. ■; i.. ■ M B U A BAY AND MUTHUATA. 245 The graves of the common people (kai-si) had merely stones laidover them. On the natives who accompanied Messrs. Hale and Agatebeing told that they had permission to take a skeleton, which theycall kalou mate, they showed no reluctance whatever to assist, andtook them to a grave where they said two Ambau men were buried,who had died from eating poisoned fish. Though the grave was notdeep, some difficulty was experienced in removing the gravel andstones, with which the bodies were covered. The natives were play-ing and making sport while at their work, and seemed at a loss toknow at which end to look for the head. There was no coveringfound on the bodies, which had been laid naked in the grave: thebones were clear of flesh and whole, but were brittle and decayed. On the 27th, they had a visit from the kings son, who came in fullcostume, with his long seavo pendent both from before and behind,and a full turban.
