The Bible and the gun : contact, commerce, conversion. A plan of great extent and importance ; The Typees fought us to the last ; If King Georgey would send him a vessel ; Not a vestige of idolatry was to be seen ; Haunted by the example of Crook -- The tribe and the army : labour, land, sovereignty. The smell of burning flesh is not nice ; A new phase of piracy ; Man-o'-war all same old woman! -- The whites would serve the natives -- Our paradise has become a hell.
