Hunting

Wild goose:   Natives climb trees

upon which they build platforms.

Geese in such numbers that some

of trees are bound to be fre-

quented at night-fall by the

geese.   Simply caught and head

smashed.   Dozens caught at

a time.   Call imitated at

times.   Geese are semi-pal-

mated, roost in trees.

At times pluck large leaf

of water lily into  which cut

two holes for eyes, hold leaf  

over face and swim out to  

geese which they simply pull

under water by legs.
