saild sailho! ‘The cry dates from the old 
beachcombing days when the 
islanders were instructed that this 
was a call that must be repeated 
when once heard and repeated 
until it was heard taken up at yet 
more remote distance. The habit 
remains, although the loneliness of 
the white exile’s life on the beaches 
is somewhat more frequently inter- 
rupted and the sighting of the 
distant sail is no longer the break 
of the monotony, moving him to 
seclusion in the bush for avoidance 
or to the beach for enjoyment, 
according as his hidden knowledge 
of his past may govern his present.
