Wanderings Among South Sea Savages And In Borneo And The Philippines is a travelogue written by H. Wilfrid Walker. The book documents the author's journey through the South Pacific islands, Borneo, and the Philippines in the early 20th century. Walker describes his encounters with various indigenous tribes and their customs, including headhunting in Borneo and the tattooing traditions of the Marquesas Islands. He also provides insights into the colonial history and politics of the region, as well as the impact of Western influence on the local cultures. The book is a fascinating account of a bygone era of exploration and adventure in the remote corners of the world.The Buli was greeted with cries of m-m-ka-a in shrill voices by the women, for all the world like the caw of an old crow. I learned that the Buli had not been here for some time, but I seemed to be the chief object of interest, and was followed everywhere by an admiring and curious crowd of dark brown, shiny boys and girls, the former just as they were born and the latter wearing a strip of Sulu.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
