[lkt. Viii.
We have now got the staircase all nicely sheltered with a portable thatch made from a sort of bamboo, though not the same as that growing on the farm. It is formed of leaves like those of the water-flag, doubled over a narrow bar of wood, varying in length to suit whatever may be required. The leaves are sewed together by ribbon-like strips, or rather splinters, of themselves. The pieces of this basket-work fabric are then fastened by means of country-rope upon a frame of split bam-... boo, and lap over each other in the style termed by carpenters " feather-edged. " These light moveable walls, which effectually keep out the heaviest rain, are made to let up and down after the fashion of a portcullis, according to the quarter whence the wind blows. If from the sea, we keep them fastened up to pre- vent the rain beating in at the hall-door. If from the land, we let them down, lest a sudden puff should whisk them away alto- getker, with perhaps the zinc roof of the staircase and landing- place as company ; but generally, unless in a tornado, they have merely to be lowered at night.
