Note 3 — Chapter XLVI · THE GILYAKS.
Reading edition
Dwelling further from the Manchu than the Amur Tunguses, they are wilder; and Réclus observes that they have a greater idea of liberty, acknowledge no master, and are governed only by custom, which regulates their festivals, and determines their hunting and fishing affairs, their marriages and burials. They are certainly courageous in the way they catch and kill the bear, though oddly enough they never willingly get into water, and do not swim.
