To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here his prayers are renewed ; the corpse is brought down near the water's edge, and he sprinkles water towards but not upon it ; it is then removed forty or fifty yards from the sea, and soon after brought back. This ceremony is repeated several times. In the meantime a house has been built and a small space of ground round it railed in ; in the centre of this house are posts, upon which the bier, as soon as the ceremonies are finished, is set. On these the corpse is to remain and putrefy in s...tate, to the no small disgust of every one whose business requires him to pass near it.
170 GENERAL ACCOUNT OF SOUTH SEA ISLANDS ch. vii These houses of corruption, tu papow, are of a size pro- portionate to the rank of the person contained in them. If he is poor it merely covers the bier, and generally has no railing round it. The largest I ever saw was eleven yards in length. These houses are ornamented according to the ability and inclination of the surviving relations, who never fail to lay a profusion of good cloth about the body, and often almost cover the outside of the house ; the two ends, which are open, are also hung with garlands of the fruits of the palm-nut (Pandanus), cocoanut leaves knotted by the priests, mystic roots, and a plant called by them ethee nota marai (Terminalia), which is particularly consecrated to funerals.
