Today, some of the men from our crew found a Roman Catholic Chapel. The Chief of Oheitepeha was found lying in a casket near an altar. The altar was big and had a low fencing around it's base. Two men from our crew guard the altar======

24-7. The chief was rapped up, but I told my men to unwrap him. They said the chief had been dead for 20 months.
Plate 7 The Taloo Harbor is located at the north side of the island. It is easy to sail in and out of because of the tradewinds. There are several different streams that flow into the harbor. The main stream has extremely fresh water. The bank of the stream is covered by a tree, which the natives call the Pooroo tree. It provides good fire wood. Two miles east of Taloo Harbor is Porowroah Harbor, which is much larger than the Taloo Harbor. There are also one or two more Harbors, but they are not like the ones just described above. The morning after we anchored our ship, several canoes brought bread-fruit, cocoa-nuts, and a few hogs on board. They traded these for hatchets, nails, and beads. The ship was covered with rats, so I drove the boat within thirty yards of the shore and made a path for the passengers to get off by tying a tether to the trees on shore. People say this experiment works, but I think that we got clear of very few, if any, of the numerous tribe that haunted us.
