Corroboree

The enclosure at the police-station ont
Tuesday morning'reminded onlookers of a
blacks' camp,, owing to the presence ther« - ;
of about a dozen^ natives, with their bag-
gage and inevitable tribe of dogs. Tha
natives had heard at their wurlies at
Encounter Bay of the approaching
¡visit of fhe / King's son, and, ' burning
with curiosity, ihad walked to town to weU
come him to their native land. Their dis-
appointment was great when they were told1 "
their visit wa» premature, and it was
greater when they were informed they,
Would have to return whence they cama
to await the Duke's arrival. The blacks .
were gathered together in the police yard
on Monday and they spent the night there.
Early in the morning they held a corrob
boree, and as a return for their labors they
were given some breakfast. Throughout
the morning the dusky visitors were to be .
seen lolling ¿about in the sun, smoking and "
speculating on the forthcoming tour in
South Australia of the Royal party. They
became reconciled to the idea of having
to return to ibheu- wurlies, and promised to
come to the city again when the Royal visi«
tors arrive.
