A VOYAGE TO

1779, twelve or fifteen feet long, and, inftead of being barbed, 
^ Match.^ terminate toward the point, like their daggers. 
The dagger, or palooa , is made of heavy black wood, re- 
fembling ebony. Its length is from one to two feet, with a 
firing palling through the handle, for the purpofe of fuf- 
pending it to the arm. For its fhape, I mufl refer the rea¬ 
der to figure 6, in Plate LXVII. 
The clubs are made indifferently of feveral forts of wood. 
They are of rude workmanfhip, and of a variety of fliapes 
and fizes. 
The flings have nothing lingular about them; and in no 
refpedl differ from our common flings, except that the ftone 
is lodged on a piece of matting inftead of leather.
