The people called collectively Happabs, reside in a 

 valley which makes up from the N.W. part of Comptrol- 

 ler's Bay. They consist of six tribes ; namely, Nicekees, 

 Tattievows, Pachas, Kickahs, Tekaahs, and Muttaaohas ; 

 the names of the chiefs of which are, Mowattaeh, Peio- 

 who, Tekawanuohe, Kawatuah, and Toneotufah. This 

 is the people which now daily dared us to battle. 



In a bay to leeward, called Huchaheucha, there are 

 three tribes, called Maamatuahs, Tiohahs, andCahhaahe; 

 their chiefs are named Potunah and Mahitatahee. These 

 are the allies of the Taeehs, and join them in all wars 

 with the tribes residing on the east of the valley of Tieu- 

 hoy, although they are sometimes engaged in war among 

 themselves. 



On the north part of Comptroller's bay, an extensive and 

 beautiful valley runs deep into the island, and is thickly 

 inhabited by a warlike race of people, called collectively 

 Typees. This valley, which is more highly cultivated 

 than any other in the island, and interspersed with beauti- 

 ful villages, contains three tribes, called Poheguha, Nae- 

 guha, and Attayiyas. Of the first and second Tohenueh 

 and Poheguah are the chiefs : the latter is a democracy 

 without a chief. 



The valley of Shoeume contains three tribes, namely 

 Cahhunaka, Tomahvaheena, and Tickeymahu : the prin- 

 cipal chief is Temaa Tipee. These are the allies of the 

 Typees, and generally join in peace or war with them* 

 This valley also runs up from Comptroller's Bay. 



The valley of Hannahow, which lies on the east side 

 of the island, is inhabited by two great tribes of people, 

 the first called Hatecaah, the principal chief of which is 

 Tahehow. They consist of three tribes, and are called 

 Mooaekah, Attishou, and Attestapwiheenah. Secondly, 

 the people called Woheaho, consisting of three tribes ; 

 namely, Attehacoes, Attetomcohoy, and Attekakahaneuah. 



There is also, in a valley called Tahtuahtuah, a small 

 tribe called Tiakahs. 



The number of warriors, which each tribe can send 

 into the field, is as follows :
