Here with some misgivings I prepared to spend my second night in Hiva-oa.
Fatu-hiva had been left behind and Hiva-oa, our destination, was before us, bleak and threatening.
Three years before the jubilee I was enabled, through a gift inspired by Joan, to buy a horse of that kind in Hiva-oa.
He sailed with us from Tai-o-hae to Hiva-oa, a dead beat of ninety miles against a heavy sea.
He was then chief of Tahuata, and the power in that island, in Hiva-oa and Fatu-hiva.
