. . . . We called some of the labourers in the plantation, and soon had half a dozen of men then in consultation outside. One of these, a native of Buru, where there are a great many snakes, said he would get him out, and proceeded to work in a business like manner. He made a strong noose to rattan, and with a long pole in the other hand poked at the snake, which then began slowly to uncoil itself. He then managed to slip the noose over its head, and getting it well on to the body, dragged the animal dow. There was a great scuffle as the snake coiled round the chairs and posts to resist his enemy, but at length the man caught hold of its tail, rushed out of the house and tried to strike its head against a tree. He missed however, and let go and the snake got under a dead trunk close by. It was again poked out, and again the Buru man caught hold of its tail, and running away quickly dashed its head with a swing against a tree, and it was then easily killed with hatcher. It was about twelve feet long and very thick, capable of doing much mischief and of swallowing a dog or a child. ~ Page 225
