It is not easy to find as the jungle here, though not very dense, is composed of young sap- linga and is difficult to see through; it presents no great obstacle to walking, however. About 100 yards from the anchor, nearer the beach, is a large anthill which serves as a guide in finding the way.

The anchor would appear to be held as an object of veneration by the local inhabitants; the ground round is carefully cleared of weeds and the sand smoothed, forming a circle about 12 feet in diameter. Some rice bowls, and a soup plate of European pattern, with betei nuts and articles of native food have been placed near it, evidently in- tended as 'offerings. The spot is marked by somá sticks about 8 feet high, carrying pieces of white calico, set round the circle. Three British young_saga palms appear also to Japanese have been planted round, as no Norwegian others were seen in the neighbour- 'Chinese hood:
