A messenger announcing a death is smeared all over with pipe clay. On his approach there is a great ceremonial dis- play of grief on the part of the women. After the par- ^Ibid. P. 683.
SOCIETY 279 ticulars of the death have been made public to the camp, only the close relatives of the deceased weep. On the fol- lowing morning they paint themselves all over with white pipe clay. Until this clay has worn off, widows and widow- ers are prohibited from speaking. They do not rub off the clay but pe...rmit it to wear off by itself and during this period they communicate with others In gesture language. The messengers often carry messenger sticks, which are crude slabs of wood with notches cut in them to assist the messenger In remembering his message. Howitt, for ex- ample, refers to a communication from one of his inform- ants, who In 1 840 saw two young men of the Ngarigo tribe, one of whom was carrying two peeled sticks, each about two feet long, with notches cut into them. They were sent to the different branches of their tribe to announce a gathering on the Australian Alps.
