"We had been tuburing one afternoon, and put back with our baskets filled to a spit of the shore where we had left an old islander, Kotali by name, alone and tending a fire for our meal. Coming near we saw him stretched on the sand by his cooking-pots, and shouted to wake him, for his fire was low. Kotali did not stir. I was one of the first to jump ashore and run to him.
To my surprise a man who had been running beside me dropped on the sand, pulled a sigh of relief, and began to mop his face and this in the very worst of the racket. 'They are gone by, he shouted; 'the worse the noise the farther off they are. They have taken their fill to-day on poor old Kotali. "Suddenly the noise ceased altogether, and we picked up courage to return and bury the body.
