Abstract Judicious use of whaling logs provides rich insight into the history of the Bismarck Archipelago. During the whaling era 1799–1884 there were three whaling grounds and four common anchorages in the region, which had a profound impact on the nature of contact and trade with islanders. Trading contact was predominantly at sea. The logs provide details of exact items traded, whalers for subsistence, islanders for iron. Only surpluses were exchanged. Contact was overwhelmingly friendly. Because whalers’ needs were few they rarely ventured further than the beach. They brought some disease, and new ideas, but had no deliberate intention of altering Islanders’ way of life. A pattern of mutual advantage and economic symbiosis emerged. The logs say much of the contact but little of the impact. The islanders remained economically independent. A complex pattern of diffusion occurred working inland from coastal contact sites, affecting prices, values and inflation. The spread of iron came from epicentres of ...

Abstract Elizabeth Morey is believed to have been the first woman castaway in the Pacific Islands. The ship on which she was travelling, the Portland, was cut off in Tonga in 1802 and most of the crew murdered. She lived for the next two years with the chief, Teukava, until she escaped heroically on the Union, which was also the subject of Tongan assault. There is evidence that Morey had borne two children in Tonga before her escape, and subsequently returned to Tonga for the birth of a third. Evidence is also presented that she was an American, from Massachusetts, orphaned at an early age. She joined the Portland in Cape Town, probably by prior arrangement with the Portland's captain, Lovett Mellen, whose family was connected with her own. Mellen broke several laws in three jurisdictions in an apparently desperate endeavour to get to Cape Town and from there to South America, lending support to a theory of a romantic conspiracy with Morey.

Abstract The struggle over public discourse has been a constant of the colonial history of New Caledonia. It attests to the importance of controlling discourse to the maintenance of colonial relations of power and, conversely, to the centrality of this discursive struggle to the decolonisation process. This paper discusses the manner in which the local media in New Caledonia came to be expressive of the political and economic structures of the colony. It also considers the factors behind the emergence of a pro‐independence media. Finally, it explores the possibility of a genuine decolonisation of the mainstream media in a context where struggles over the control of public discourse are once again directly related to struggles over the political future of this French territory.

Abstract In the first decade of the 20th century Japanese plumage hunters visited many of the uninhabited Central Pacific atolls, depleting the local bird populations. When a group of Marshallese engaged in traditional birding surprised a group of Japanese on remote Bokak Atoll in 1909, the German colonial administrator was forced to deal with the issue without guidance from Berlin. This paper describes the events and reviews the German actions in the light of similar incidents in Hawaii.
