INTEREST. Travelogue. The gathering of coconuts and transport by river; the preparation of copra and the sale of coconut oil.

The beautiful slender palm often reaches 75 feet in height. Shots of native boys shaking the nuts down and throwing them into large baskets. There they are tied in twos and thrown into an enclosure in the river where they are formed into rafts and poled down the river. The outer shell of the coconut is thrashed and softened, then removed to make fibre for cords and matting. The pulp, now called copra, is taken out, packed in huge bags and weighed. A native market for the sale of the coconut is then shown. (Tinted). (437 ft).
