As the sky darkened, men prowled the shallow waters of lagoons with torches and spears. Candles used for lighting homes were made by stringing dried nutmeats of the oily kukui nut on thin bamboo skewers. As each nut burned, it ignited the nut below it. Clusters of these candles were carried in a hollow bamboo to make a torch. Spears were hardwood shafts six to seven feet long, the tips tapered to a point and fire-hardened.
