They have also great holes in their ears, wherein they wear such stuff as in their noses.

They are very dexterous, active fellows in their proas, which are very ingeniously built.

They are narrow and long, with outriggers on one side, the head and stern higher than the rest, and carved into many devices--viz., some fowl, fish, or a man's head painted or carved; and though it is but rudely done, yet the resemblance appears plainly, and shows an ingenious fancy.

But with what instruments they make their proas or carved work I know not, for they seem to be utterly ignorant of iron.

They have very neat paddles, with which they manage their proas dexterously, and make great way through the water.
