. The uncivilized races of men in all countries of the world; being a comprehensive account of their manners and customs, and of their physical, social, mental, moral and religious characteristics. By Rev. J. G. With new designs by Angas, Danby, Wolf, 1871. so be struck, like those of oursailing barges while passing under a bridge. Two other kinds of New Guinea canoesare shown in the same illustration. Thesecanoes are not found in the same part ofNew Guinea, but, as the natives travel inthem for considerable distances, they havebeen brought together in the same illustra-tion for the convenience of comparison. Beyond the large canoe is a smaller one,with a sail that is set in rather a curiousmanner. There is no mast, but the twoedges of the sail are fastened to slight spars,and when the native finds the wind to befavorable, he fixes the lower ends of thesespars in the canoe, and supports the upperends by stays or ropes that were fore andaft. The reader will notice the pointed endof the cylindrical outrigger. On the oppo-site side to the outrigger is a slight plat-form made of planks. The platform itselfis out of sight, but the reader may see theheads and shoulders of the two men whoare sitting on it. This canoe is made near Redscar Point,. (1.) THE MONKEY MEN OF DOURGA STRAIT.
