... hut with their heads symbolises the piercing of the clouds; the fall of the hut, the fall of the rain." Obviously, too, the act of placing high up in trees the two stones, which stand for clouds, is a way of making the real clouds to mount up in the sky. The Dieri also imagine that the foreskins taken from lads at circumcision have a great power of producing rain.

For the last proprietor constantly sold the whole stock, and, though he reduced the arrears of the tenants for the time, he weakened their efficiency for the future, and as their capital failed them their arrears once more began to mount up. I must therefore set them up again, and it will cost me the more because I must provide them with honest slaves, for I have no slaves working in chains in my possession, nor has any landowner in that part of the country.

But leaving feigned ornaments, behold! Eight hundred youths, of heart and sinew bold, Mount up her shrouds, or to her tops ascend, Some haul her braces, some her foresail bend; 40 Full ninety brazen guns her port-holes fill, Ready with nitrous magazines to kill; From dread embrazures formidably peep, And seem to threaten ruin to the deep: On pivots fix'd, the well-ranged ...
