This street is usually thronged with a native population of Bugis and Macassar men, who wear cotton trousers about twelve inches long, covering only from the hip to half-way down the thigh, and the universal Malay sarong, of gay checked colours, worn around the waist or across the shoulders in a variety of ways.
This is one of the bright traits in the Chinese character. The native traders next in importance to the Chinese, are the Bugis. They come from the different ports on the islands of Celebes, &c., but principally from Macassar. They are a shrewd race, but are no match for their Chinese competitors.
I know it well." "At a certain age men will turn their souls inside out to get hair, if they haven't any. For some time past hair-dressers have told me that they sell not only Macassar, but all the drugs which are said to dye hair or make it grow. Since the peace, men are more with women, and women don't like bald-heads; hey! hey! Mimi?
But not being able to see any thing of her in the morning and finding no water or provisions on the island, they continued their course in the middle of the straits six days longer, without going on shore or tasting of any thing but brandy. They soon had the shore of Celebes in sight, where they determined to go in search of provisions and then to proceed to Macassar.
"'Is mamma don't know as 'ow 'e's hout, I shouldn't vonder, said the cabman and away went Macassar, singing at the top of his voice as he sat in the cab 'The loveliest lady that ever was seen Is the lovely Lady Crinoline. "The cab passed through Covent Garden on its way. 'Stop at the pastry-cook's at the corner, said Macassar up through the little trap-door. The cab drew up suddenly.
Woodward unrolled the manuscript and began her task. 'Well, Linda was right, said Mrs. Woodward, 'it does begin with poetry. 'It's only a song, said Charley, apologetically 'and after all there is only one verse of that' and then Mrs. Woodward began 'Ladies and gentlemen, that is the name of Mr. Charles Tudor's new novel. 'Crinoline and Macassar! said Uncle Bat.
Then, turning toward the other two brothers with an aspect of revenge and insult, he held out to them the mangled body of his victim, writhing in the agony of death. At Macassar an elephant driver one day had a cocoanut given him, which, in order to break it, he struck two or three times against the elephant's head.
As the king of Macassar is a powerful prince, whose country is densely populated, and well supplied with rice and all manner of food; and as he furnishes them to Malacca and Banda: it would be necessary to make a treaty with him, and to send him three vessels with two hundred men for his country.
But there are times in the dank, hot nights of midsummer, when the ailantus is but a diluted upas-antiar of Macassar, tainting, albeit with no deadly essence, the muggy air that rocks its slumbering branches and rolls away thence along the parapets and in at the windows of the sleepers.
Since that failure, no English vessels have attempted to trade to the south of Borneo; but we discovered that the Macassar boats paid the coast an occasional visit, under Dutch colours, exchanging beads and other trumpery for rich cargoes of ivory and skins.
