Männer und Frauen, Angehörige zweier rivalisierender Zeremonialhäuser in Amanamkai, sind wegen des Fischereirechts miteinander in Streit geraten. Sie schreien und gestikulieren.

A group of men and women, members of two competing ceremonial houses or yeu, have a quarrel about the injury which a man from one of the yeu has inflicted on a man from the other yeu. All the men, together with a few of the older women from one yeu, form a wild cluster of shouting and gesticulating individuals, while most of the women from the other yeu remain on the outskirts of the central group.
