This statement is at least doubtful, as some of the stones in these Cairns are of such dimensions that even the united efforts of a number of school children would be unable to remove them. The true origin of them appears to be (although the peopl are disinclined to say so) that Fishermen when going to Sea were or are in the habit of making a vow or promise over [continued on page 42]
