Other Information

Publication: A similar image is printed in the Reports VI: Plate 1, fig. 2 with the caption "Part of the island of Waier, with Mer in the distance; the pinnacles are called warip (p.26-8)". [Jude Philp 18/3/1999, from record N.23084.ACH2, JD 03/10/2018]

Place: The cliff also has importance for Meriam as the place relating to the figure of Waiet (Reports I: p. 399). Haddon does not mention the visit by "all except Wilkin" to Waier save to mention "I photographed one or two folklore places and heard their stories in situ" (1898: 196).
