Introduction.
Unfortunately the photograph is reproduced poorly.
The long deal board is pine.

ODDS AND ENDS
Page 623
...
A sand-bath is a hygienic luxury of compara
tively ancient date, but the inventiveness of the Sandwich Island natives has given it a newer and more amusing significance.
Burying a man
alive in sand has become one of the current jokes of the day.
The victim must be a willing
one.
He stretches himself flat on the ground,
and sand is piled
sidered in the light of artistic finish to get up a weeping-scene.
A score of
men, eye-glass in eye, arrayed in the sweet simplicity of striped bathing-jerseys, amuse themselves leaning on each
other's shoulders, and pre- tend to sob in a most heart- breaking manner.
The long
deal boards for surfriding look really unpleasantly like coffin-lids, and the whole business - as a theatrical eccentricity - stands without a rival in the annals and traditions of the bathing resort.

BURIED UP TO THE NECK IS SAND IN THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
