268 A VOYAGE TO 



m7* ^^^^ ^o as to tie upon the forehead without any crown, and

twenty inches. But a drawing which Mr. Webber has made 

 of Poulaho, drcffed in one of thefe bonnets, will convey 

 the bell idea of them. The Chief flayed on board till the 

 evening, when he left us ; but his brother, whofe name was 

 alfo Futtafaihe, and one or two, or more, of his attendants, 

 continued in the fliip all night. 



Thurfdayz^. At day-break, the next morning, I weighed with a fine 

 breeze, at Eaft North Eaft, and flood to the Weftward, 

 with a view to return to Annamooka, by the track we 

 had already experienced. We were followed by feveral 

 failing canoes, in one of which was the king. As foon 

 as he got on board the Refolution, he inquired for his 

 brother, and the others who had remained with us all 

 night. It now appeared, that they had flayed without 

 his leave ; for he gave them, in a very few words, fuch 

 a reprimand as brought tears from their eyes ; and 

 yet they were men not lefs than thirty years of age. He 

 was, however, foon reconciled to their making a longer 

 flay ; for, on quitting us, he left his brother, and five of 

 his attendants, on board. We had alfo the company of a 

 Chief, jufl: then arrived from Tongataboo, whofe name was 

 Tooboueitoa. The moment he arrived, he fent his canoe 

 away, ^n^* declared, that he and five more, who came with 

 him, would lleep on board; fo that Ihad now my cabin 

 filled with vifiters. This, indeed, was fome inconvenience ; 

 but I bore with it more willingly, as they brought plenty of 

 provifions with them, as prefents to me ; for wliich they 

 always had fuitable returns.
