...young native named Ahmang, part Portuguese, part Dyak. Son of a Malay chief who earns a living by making pins out of the gold he pans at the mouth of a river near Samarang, Ahmang was too proud to take a salary for acting, so the Wings reimbursed his parent. The Wings' camera shows Ahmang and Sai-Yu dog-paddling about the bottom of the ocean wearing handkerchiefs around their middles and picking oysters.
