Children gathered to dig pits for bonfires of paper spirit money, and build sand castles for shrines
of flaming sticks of incense and tapers.

The
Hungry Ghosts
by WILLIAM SMYLY
A fine crowd gathered on Stanley beach last night, mostly composed of children digging pits and building sand castles. But the pits were filled with bonfires of paper money for the hungry spirits. And the sand castles were mountings for rank on rank of flaming incense and burning taper.

So at Stanley the children gathered to build sand castles and burn incense.
Behind them the old priest fixed his gaze on ceremonial candles and on incense smoke. Pearls and torch Bulbs run from a dry baffery decorated his im- posing crown. His eyes remained set for long periods, either open and unblinking, or closed. His tension built up the atmosphere of a trance as the crowd gather- ed tighter.
The weaving hands of the chief priest made prayers and incantations to the hungry spirits hungry for the love and the memory of the living.
