Related text on p.96 notes "BALI.
This island, the last refuge of Hinduism in the archipelago, has a very distinctive design of outrigger in general use. This may be termed the Bali type (PI. XII, fig. XXIII). The hull and rig may vary, but the essential points of the outrigger frame-work remain the same in all. These consist of the boom secondaries, lightly curved joints, spliced to the ends of straight booms at the inner ends, and inserted at their outer ones into holes bored obliquely through bamboo floats. The splice is a strong one, secured both by ample lashings and by a stout vertical peg, rarely by two, passing through the outer end of the splice. To prevent the floats working free from the ends of the joint pieces, a strong cord, secured at one end to the upper projecting end of the splice peg, passes along the side of the joint to be carried round the float and lashed firmly at the point of insertion of the pointed end of the joint."
