The disposition of the natives appears gentle enough now, but—as we all know—the temper of aborigines is as unstable as the sea which lies around them, and just as deadly. I fear that, faced with the shifting humors of our hosts and the predictable behavior of ourselves, the end of our sojourn here may not be as delightful as is its beginning.

[T]he commoners lived in terror of the chiefs and the priests. All that they possessed, even their bodies, belonged to the alii, and they could be deprived of their possessions, and their lives, in an instant if they were so unfortunate as to anger a chief or to break one of the innumerable taboos raised by the priests.
