Note 3 — PREFACE. (continued 6)

Here is the method [of the performance]. Two poles are placed on each side, leaving a vacant space between them, not to be occupied by the people. The poles are of ulei3 wood, the tops of which are decorated with chicken feathers. The winning of one side over the other is when the kilu strikes the pole. One strike counts five. Upon reaching forty the game is won. When one is beaten he must dance; that is the penalty.
