Citation for 'Pearls and Savages': "Hela village, One of the most picturesque communities of the Papuan Coast. In times past, the natives built their dwellings above the sea: as a protection against attacking enemies and the custom still persists. The enemies are gone, but the situation well off shore in the midst of the sea breezes is still protection.. (undecipherable)."
