White Shadows in the South Seas - Frederick O'Brien

Idyllic valley of Vait-hua; the beauty of Vanquished Often; bathing on the beach; an unexpected proposal of marriage

Communal life; sport in the waves; fight of the sharks and the mother whale; a day in the mountains; death of Le Capitaine Halley; return to Atuona

The Marquesans at ten o'clock mass; a remarkable conversation about religions and Joan of Arc in which Great Fern gives his idea of the devil

The marriage of Malicious Gossip; matrimonial customs of the simple natives; the domestic difficulties of Haabuani

Filling the popoi pits in the season of the breadfruit; legend of the mei; the secret festival in a hidden valley
