Moeva, à son tour, ne tarda pas à tirer vengeance de la mort de 

 Tagihia-ariki, Parepare et Rogotana, par la capture à Punaruku 

 (Makemo) de la légion de Muta et de celles qui l'avaient suivie. 

 Plus tard, après la conversion des indigènes au christianisme, 

 quand ceux-ci eurent connaissance de la Bible, ils ne manquè- 

 rent pas de fLiire des rapprochements entre ce combat singulier 

 et celui de David et Goliath.

TOMB AT ARUE 



« Sacred to the memory of 

 The Rev. Henry Nott, 

 Missionary. 



Who departed from this life of sin and sorrow 



And entered into his rest 



On the 2"'*day ofMay 1844, 



After having endured a great fight of afflictions. 



He had been for 18 years the faithfuU servant 



Of the London Missionary Society having been sent 



Out by them to this Island on the ship Duff, commanded 



By Captain James Wilson in the year 1796. 



He was translater of the Sacred Scriptures 



Into the Tahitian language. 



I hâve fought a good fight, I hâve fmished my 



Course. I hâve kept the faith : henceforth there 



Is laid up for me a crov/n of righteousness wich 



The Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at 



That day : and not to me only, but unto ail them 



Who also hâve loved his appearing. 



And God shall wipe away ail tears from their 



Eyes. And there shall be no more death.
