and brought dozens of birds to me which had been shot with 

 blunt headed arrows. Have frequently tried their skill. 

 They will hit a biscuit at twenty yards almost every shot.

 were first shown them. While at Wanumbi they would not 

 leave the guns alone. As soon as they were put down one

 gun off to the yacht as it was not safe to allow such 

 inexperienced people to handle it.
