RARAI, NEW GUINEA—Dear Dad: The farther you go inland the less showy the villages become. In the Mekeo district, through which we have been traveling, we have seen some splendid types of large villages. They are surrounded by fences, built with a double purpose in mind to keep out the wild pigs and to keep the domesticated ones at home to act ns scavengers. Figs play an important part in Papnan village life. It is a matter of record that a majority of the cases of trouble which come before the courts have their inception in arguments over a pig. Whole villages have gone to war over a pig. The villages are all built the tra" —a main street with a row of houses along each side. The houses invariably are built on stilts, having sloping sides and a platform in front on which the family spends most of its evenings. The steps are only ladders of poles or bamboo. They keep their pigs on the ground but offer no obstacle to the pet dog which every family seems to own. The pigs are fed, but the dogs—thin mangy mongrels—have to rustle their own living.. The natives go up and down their steps

Around the village the women do all the work. The men hunt and go visiting, but work only when they have to. Tho women keep the villages dean, work the gardens, euro the cocoanuts for copra, cook and "keep house” and do all the local carrying. In our hikes along Papuan frnfls we have met scores of men with their wives and children, and always the man has been striding along, free of any burden, while the woman has been carrying a heavy load

It is a serious offense to offer any indignity to a married native woman.

In the old days—not. so very long ago at that —any misconduct on the part of a married woman was followed by a killing—not necessarily that of the guilty parties, but of one of their relatives. The killing of your relative Is the I’nouan Idea of vengeance, A case in point was reported to Humphries at Rural by two young boys from th* mountain district into which we will soon go. An old man became infatuat'd with a young girl, but she refused to marry him. So his brother killed the girl and a r'dative of the girl slew a relative of the murderer. We are hurrying to the village In an effort to get there before further reprisals take place. Y'au remember when we were discussing tfie plans for this trip we were told we were going to “the place where M"lntosh was killed." Since we left Y'ule Island we have b n told that the men who now are serving sentences, for that murder are Innocent mid that the real leader of the slayers was the principal witness against th'un It seems that in a moment of resentment over a charge of cowardice lie boasted that he lad killed a white man, therefore lie feared no other native. It also develops that the killing was Inspired by an aged chief who said that if he were still young Mclntosh vsould not be dynamiting tisli streams. These mountain folk are woefully ignorant and still unite savage. How else can lx- explained the fact that they boiled M lnfosli with his boots on, and then attempted to eat the.boots! AVe shall soon be among them, for lonight we are camped in the foothills of the gr"at mountains where they live. I To get here we swam and waded across a swift stream, the Innnafnnga River, | as the climax to a day of toilsome j tramping over hills and down gullies i and across cold little mountain streams. |

Our coastal carriers are footsore and weary and are suffering from “cold feet.” At sick call tonight three-fourths of them appeared with real and imaginary ailments. “They no siek tauboda (master),’’ scornfully says Aitsl, ex-carrier and a mission product whom Downing has taken, as camera bearer. “They play sick because they afraid mountain men will ‘kai-kai’ them,” in other words, serve them up for a meal. Tomorrow we go wading again and I am wondering how my boots will stand the strain. One of those pet pigs at Rarai got into our sleeping tent last night and chewed off the tops.
