352 THE HARP OF PITCAIRN. 
This then is mv hope ; and I am not deceived, 
On the wora of my God I can fully depend •- 
1 know by the Spirit, on •whom I've believed, 
That He will support and console to the end •. . 
Immanuel's death hath Jehovah appeased ; 
That death on the cross did my ransom achieve ; 
That death is my passport when I am released : 
I believe, 1 believe ; yes, I firmly believe. 
Polly, the wife of George Adams, departed 
this life December 17th, 1843, aged 48 years. 
I have merely verified part of the foregoing 
conversation. It is in sum and substance a 
reply to an inquiry made by me concerning her 
state of mind in the prospect of death, which 
was then rapidly approaching, Assuredly, her 
end was peace.

FENUA MAITAT. 
AMONGST the original poems composed on the 
island, is a singularly wild effusion, described as 
having been " sung on the sixtieth anniversary 
of the foundation of the colony." In this poem 
reference is made to local names and circum- 
stances, conveyed partly in Otaheitan forms of 
thought and language, such as can be thoroughly 
understood only by the islanders themselves. 
" Feniia Maitai," with which each stanza con- 
cludes, are Otaheitan words, and mean, The 
Good Land.
