They seemed harder to get acquainted with in- timatoly - no doubt due to early upbringing in language and cus- toms.

They could converse only in the "sign la.ngus.ge". The usual greetings were exchanged by signs. The na- tive had a hole in the side of his face through which a large molar tooth protruded. He could juggle the Jaw so as the flesh would cover the tooth. He kept oonsten y flip- ping the big tusk in and out of the hole in his race, thereby showing his superior ability-as he thought. The missionary saw the humor of the situation and st the same time thought of his set of false teeth.
