The inference is that the nut whence it sprang drifted ashore after his attempt to civilise the vicinity by the planting of seeds. It grew to a great tree, and blacks found in the fruit a refreshing, nutritious food; but an evil thing came along one day in the shape of a thirsty Chinaman, and as he could not climb the tree he cut it down, and blacks, even to this day, hate the name of Chinaman.
