This is one of the southern islands of the Philippine group. Manila, on the island of Luzon, is way off at the north. — A little to the left of the direction in which you are facing. Just beyond that beautiful feathery clump of bamboo is a wharf where these vessels from Hong Kong or various European ports have come to load and unload. Hemp is the most important export here.
This curiously primitive contrivance is not a temporary makeshift — it is the customary form of machinery by which lumber is prepared for use in native houses and furniture. The lumber is braced at an angle with the ground and three men have arranged it then the saw in its bottom notch is pulled alternately up and down. It is not a jigsaw, but an old saw as you see them now, but it works entirely by muscular Filipino hands, not by engine power. This method is not extremely effective but it serves for this area and is used with cheapness; there is actually no great economic incentive to put European or American machines in the place of a clumsy device like this.
In the cart which you see coming up with a load from the beach has two thick, heavy wooden wheels supporting a frame of bamboo on which the load rests.
