Water Supply On Bonga Island Tested By A Diligent Carabao
Sydney A. Cleman narrates a World’s Work piece about meeting water needs on Bonga Island in the Sulu archipelago. The colony depended on a brackish well until a mile offshore supply was found. A 450 gallon cart and a carabao fetched water, with three trips daily meeting needs for a month. The animal then refused a fourth trip despite bribes and punishment, finally resuming three loads but never a fourth. The tale illustrates limits of reliance on a single laboring animal and the improvisation of a fledgling settlement.
