There is only one tribe in the Colony who perform the mysterious fire-dance. A broad shallow pit is dug in the ground, and a large fire of logs, covered with stones, is built therein. After heating for some hours the stones are levelled off, the performers advance from cover, walk once round over the heated stones and, after leaves are thrown in, sit amidst the smoke and steam, chant a song, and retire.
