To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In facial character the tribe is regular and well proportioned, presenting no traces of negroid antecedents. Noses are slender and slightly re- troussed, lips clean-cut, chins modestly assertive with lower jaws superbly adapted to cracking cocoanuts and oysters, foreheads low with suffi- cient projection at the eye-line for shade purposes. All in all, they are entitled to an A-plus in beauty and reminded me less of Polynesians than of a hand-picked selection of Caucasians who had been coated wi...th a flat-bronze radiator paint. Beards, moustaches, imperials, goatees, side- whiskers and Galways are unknown, a fact which was to me strange considering the luxuriance of other vegetation until I learned that, from in- fancy, it is the custom of the Filbertine mother to scour her offspring's face with powdered coral which discourages the facial follicles. These even- tually give up and, turning inward and upward, result in a veritable crown of glory on the top of the head, the place, after all, where the hair ought to grow.
