he got any there, that he had left them at Hapaee, which 
lay in his way hack, and where die could not but receive 
intelligence that Poulaho had been with us ; who, there¬ 
fore, he knew, would, as his fuperior, have all the merit 
and reward of procuring them, though he had not any 
fhare of the trouble. The invention of this lofs at fea 
was, however, well imagined. For there had lately been 
very blowing weather; in fo much, that the King, and 
other Chiefs, who had followed us from Hapaee to 
Kotoo, had been left there, not caring to venture to 
fea when we did; but defired I might wait for them at 
Annamooka, which was the reafon of my anchoring there, 
this fecond time, and of my not proceeding direitly to 
Tongataboo. 
The following morning, Poulaho, and the other Chiefs 
who had been wind-bound with him, arrived. I happened, 
at this time, to be afhore in company with Feenou; who 
now feemed to be fenfible of the impropriety of his con¬ 
duit, in alfuming a character that did not belong to him. 
For he not only acknowledged Poulaho to be King of 
Tongataboo, and the other ides; but affeiled to infill 
much on it, which, no doubt, was with a view to make 
amends for his former prefumption. I left him, to vilit 
this greater man, whom I found fitting with a few people 
before him. But, every one haflening to pay court to him, 
the circle increafed pretty fall. I was very delirous of ob- 
ferving Feenou’s behaviour on this occalion ; and had the 
moll convincing proof of his fuperiority; for he placed 
himfelf afiaongft the reft that fat before Poulaho, as atten¬ 
dants on his majelly. He feemed, at firft, rather abalhed ; 
as Tome of us were prefent who had been ufed to fee him 
ail a different part; but he foon recovered himfelf. Some
