Sinopsis
Excerpt from Narrative of the Voyage of H. M. S. Rattlesnake, Commanded by the Late Captain Owen Stanley, R. N., F. R. S. &C.

The Kowraregas speak of New Guinea under the name of Muggi' (little) Dowdai, while to New Hol land they apply the term of Kei' (large) Dowdai. Their knowledge of the former island has been acquired indirectly through the medium of inter vening tribes. The New Guinea people are said to live chiefly on pigs and sago from them are obtained the cassowary feathers used in their dances, and stone-headed clubs. They trade with the Gumi'i legas, who exchange commodities with the Badu legas, from whom the Kowrarega people receive them. These last barter away to their northern neighbours spears, throwing-sticks, and mother-of pearl shells for bows, arrows, bamboo pipes, and knives, and small Shell ornaments called idibi - dibi. They have friendly relations with the other islanders of Torres Strait, but are at enmity with all the mainland tribes except the gi'idang.
