170 SOMU-SOMU. 



The tender having returned with the boats of the Porpoise from 

 surveying the straits opposite Goat Island, we received on board 

 Tubou Totai and Corodowdow, together with their suites; and I 

 was happy to be able to give the Rev. Mr. Hunt a passage to Rewa, 

 whither I intended proceeding on my return to Levuka. Mr. Hunt 

 was going for the purpose of offering to take the charge of the chil- 

 dren of the Rev. Mr. Cargill, who had met with the melancholy loss 

 of his wife shortly after the Peacock had left Rewa. From this 

 gentleman I obtained much information, and found that he confirmed 

 a great deal of that which I have already given. He was obliging 

 enough to aet as my interpreter on many occasions afterwards.
