proa

The proa had entered the quiet waters within, and was coming to rest as gracefully as a sea gull stops in its flight.

During the afternoon such goods as were deemed necessary were transferred to the proa, which lay at anchor in the lagoon.

The afternoon sun was waning when Peter Gross's sailing proa arrived at Sadong.

A vociferous crowd of Dyaks hastened to the beach under the misapprehension that the proa was a trader.

“There was a proa which passed close to the island while we were opening the pearl-oysters,” said Storms.
