352 THE HARP OF PITCAIRN. 
This then is my hope ; and I am not deceived, 
On the word of my God I can fully depend: v 
1 know by the Spirit, on whom I've believed, 
That fle 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 MAITAL 
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.
