A NATUBALIST IN CELEBES 



CH. II 



The starboard and port sides are called ' lakki-lakki,' or 

 man, and ' perampuan,' or woman, respectively. 



The canoe itself is simply a ' dug-out.' It is sometimes 

 twenty-five or thirty feet long, with a beam of only thirty 

 inches. 



FiQ. 1. — Model of a native double-outrigged canoe or ' londi.' 



The outriggers are generally made of two or three 

 pieces of thick bamboo firmly lashed together and attached 

 to cross pieces of some light strong wood which run right 

 across the canoe. 



"With a fair wind, these canoes carry a great deal of sail 

 and can go very fast ; but they are awkward to tack and 

 caimot sail very close to the wind.
