They were in three or four companies in a bloodwood-tree, where they flirted and fussed and made violent love; then in a trailing mob flew noisily and began work in haste and excitement, one eager bird manipulating a long, slender, partly dry leaf, industriously trying to fit it in various spots. Finding its due place, the limp leaf was thrust in among the compact twigs and tendrils.
Two contrary conditions had to be considered the hostility of white ants to buildings of wood, and the necessity for raising the floor but slightly above the level of the ground. A bloodwood-tree, tall, straight, and slim, was felled. It provided three logs two each 15 feet long and one 13 feet. From another tree another 13-foot log was sawn.
While we toiled our fare, simplicity itself, was eaten with becoming lack of style in the shade of a bloodwood-tree, the tents being reserved for sleeping. When the blacks could be spared, fish was easily obtainable, and we also drew upon the scrub fowl and pigeon occasionally, for the vaunting proclamation for the preservation of all birds had not been made.
