This is the Colonial designation of the 
hatchet in distinction from the 
‘‘American axe.”’ That tomahawk 
has passed into Beach-la-mar and 
axe has not is doubtless due to the 
fact that the blade when sold as a 
tomahawk is promptly dismounted 
from its hatchet helve and reas- 
sembled as an adze, a process to 
which the axe less readily lends 
itself.

tumble down to die. 
The full locution ‘‘tumble down 
blackfellow jump up whitefellow”’ 
is used in Australia to describe 
what is popularly regarded as a 
belief of the aborigines in metem- 
psychosis. I have never heard the 
complete phrase in Beach-la-mar, 
and have never encountered such 
a belief in reincarnation among the 
island savages. In a modest way 
they look upon the white folk as a 
queer lot into whose existence it 
would prove scantily attractive to 
be born anew.
