* As the torches at Pelew have been frequently mentioned, and by accident omit¬ 
ted in their proper place, I mu(l notice them here to defcribe them.—On being analyfed, 
they appear to be a Refin mixed with fmali pieces of wood. This Refin is probably the 
exudation of forae tree; but it is uncertain, whether the wood is fmali bits of bark, 
which inevitably, in fcraping it off, mix with the Refin, or whether they are purpofely 
joined with it to fupply the place of a wick, and render it lefs liable to run and diffolve 
haftily like a flick of wax. They have long leaves twined and tied round them, to 
prevent their flicking to the hand.—When lighted, they afford an agreeable fmell.
