. The smell was too much for him !
Although these people live on the sea, with "water, water everywhere," they have a very dirty custom.
Their staple food is rice, which they obtain by barter, and fish, which they spear. Much of their cooking is done as they move about, and instead of cleaning the 86 Afloat in a Mawken Ship : entrails of the fish over the side of the boat into the sea, they dean them into the boat itself. Similarly when they wash out a pot in which they have been cooking, they ...pour the washings into the boat. The result is that the bilge of the boat is awash with an evil-smelling slush ! When it is borne in mind that this is done in tropical regions, it is not difficult for anyone even in colder climes tojudge as to the strength of the odours.
It would, of course, be easy to dismiss the matter with the contempt and disgust of superior persons, an attitude which European peoples frequently adopt when they meet with " savages " whose ways they have not studied.
Sympathetic understanding, which is the world's great need, usually helps us to see that such customs have reasons behind them, even if we may be able to show that the reasons are bad ones, or that there may be other ways of managing things.
