They bury them in a deep hole lined with cracked candlenuts and grass and cover all with earth. In several days and they know the right time to an hour the bananas are dug up, yellow and sweet. Pae furnished a limited quantity of rum for the fete, and a cocoanut-shell filled with namu was passed about.

One day a brother of Lumabat was climbing up over the roof, and in his hand he had a long ladle made of cocoanut-shell.

Tetuahunahuna sighed, and looked at my bag, in which was the bottle of rum Grelet had given me. I poured a drink into the cocoanut-shell Ghost Girl had emptied, and gave it to him. "Kaoha!" he said and, having swallowed the rum, went on.
