The Makalaka, who are most expert in the management of their small, thin, light canoes, come gently toward them; the men stand upright in the canoe, though it is not more than fifteen or eighteen inches wide and about fifteen feet long; their paddles, ten feet in height, are of a kind of wood called molompi, very light, yet as elastic as ash.

With these they either punt or paddle, according to the shallowness or depth of the water.

When they perceive the antelopes beginning to move they increase their speed, and pursue them with great velocity.

They make the water dash away from the gunwale, and, though the leche goes off by a succession of prodigious bounds, its feet appearing to touch the bottom at each spring, they manage to spear great numbers of them.
The nakong often shares a similar fate.

This is a new species, rather smaller than the leche, and in shape has more of paunchiness than any antelope I ever saw.
