Every one had a racket, the handle of which was three or four feet in length, and bent at the end, so that the racket had the form of a bow. The packthread is made of bark; they grasp the racket with both -hands. And run after the ball, wherever they see it, with the view of catching it, one before another. This ball is frequently thrown to a consider- able distance, in which case they run after it all together, to catch it, either in the air, or on the ground. No bush, no ditches, no barriers check their ardour. prev     next
