S U M A T R A . gjt-j till the provision is expended; one or more buffaloes, or horfes, being killed and feafted on at the fame time. The prleft then, (whofe limbs are tattowed in the fhape of birds and beafts, and painted of different colors)* takes a piece of buffaloe's flefh; fwings it about, throwing himfelf into violent attiaides, and ftrange contorfions ; and then eats the morfel in a voracious manner. He afterwards kills a fowl over the dead body, letting the blood run upon the coffin ; he then takes a broom, of the coco-nut fibres, and fweeps furioufly about him, as if to chace away fome evil fpirit; when fuddenly, four men, appointed for the purpofe, lift up the coffin, and run quickly off with it, as if efcaping from the fiend; the prieft continuing to fweep after it for fome diftance. It is then put into the ground, at the depth of three or four feet; the earth about the grave is raifed; a fhed built over it; and the horns of the buffaloes killed upon the occafion are nailed to the pofts.-f~ The people then depart in peace to their refpe&ive homes. This nation has preferved the original eenuinenefs of its character and 0 • . ,. c D O Unginahty manners, more unmixed than any other inhabitants, at leaft of the nor- preferved m this nation, thern parts of the ifland. This may be owing to fevcral caufes ; as their diftance in general from the fea coaft, and total unacquaintance with na- Caufes of thit vigation ; and to the want of gold in their country (except at the fouthern extremity) to excite the rapacity of invaders, or avarice of colonifts; the vegetable riches of the foil being no object for fuch, as they are more advantageoufly obtained in trade, from the unmolefled labors of the natives themfelves. To this we may add, the divided nature of the government, and confined independence of the petty chiefs, which is un- * In the Najfau iflands (called by the Malays the Poggeei) the inhabitants (orang Mantawaye) are univerfally tattowed in this manner, and their Ikin difcolorcd. This cuftom appears to have been once very general in this part of the eaft, but an intcrcourfe with other nations caufes it to wear away. Bcfide the pintados of the Philippines, it prevails among the people of Laos, and has been obferved of the Siamefe. See an Hiftorical Relation of Expeditions to thofe iflands by Alexander Dalrymple, Efq. f Mr. Miller fays he was prefent at killing the hundred and fixth buffaloe, at the grave of a raja, which ceremony they continue for a year after the interment. 4 K favorable

This was probably the reafon of the complete converfion of the fubjects of Menangcabow to Mahometanifm. And laftly, it may be prefumed that the idea maintained of the ferocioufnefs of the people, from their practice of eating their prifoners, might probably damp the ardor, and reftrain the zealous attempts of religious innovators.
