 Wafl» continued, wjthjbkoit internals, above a quarter
 of an Jwjur; when tjie rear i?ank4ryjding, flatted themfelves
very fbwly roun^ each end, and* meeting in the front,
formed the f|rftf rank; tfte whple number continuing to
%mx,e the fentences as before. The other ranks did the
fame fucceffively, till that which, at firft, was the front,
became the rear; and the evolution continued, in the fame
manner, till the laft rank regained its firft fituation. They
then began a much quicker dance (though flow at firft),

if all the motions were made by one man, which did them
great credit. Near the clofe, the back rank divided, came
round, and took the place of the front, which again re-
fumed its fituation, as in the firft dance; and when they
finiihed, the drums and chorus* as before, went ofF.
Three drums (which, at leaft, took two, and fometimes
three men to carry them) were now brought in; and fe-
venty men fat down as a chorus to the third dance. This
confifted of two ranks, of fixteen perfons each, with young
Toobou at their head, who was richly ornamented with a
