Ilia modo of paying his addresses is simple and efficacious. With a blow of his nulla nulla (war club,) ho stuns tho object ol his "affections," and drags her insensible body away to somo retired spot, when as soon as she recovers her senses, he brings hei home to his own gunyah in triumph. Sometimes two join in an expedition for the same purpose,and then for several days they watch tho move ments of their intended victims, using the utmost in concealing their presence. When they have obtained tho knowledge they require, they wait for a dark, windy night; then quite naked, and carrying only their "jag spears," they crawl steal; thily through the buh until they reach tho immediate vicinity of the camp fires, in front of which tho girls they aro in search of aro sleeping.
