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 When leprosy became a Hawaiian concern in 1863, the monarchy initiated segregation as a temporary measure to eliminate the disease through quarantine. As the island economy grew, primarily through the sugar industry, foreigners dominated commercial enterprises and increasingly took charge of government affairs. Mounting tension between native and non‐native, as power shifted from one to the other during the reform period, was manifest in the partisan polarisation on leprosy. The disease, which afflicted Hawaiians in greater numbers than it did other races, was politicised by whites to confirm their conviction that natives were physically and morally inferior, not only to Euro‐American residents, but also to the Asians they imported for plantation labour. The oppressive measures taken in segregating ‘lepers’ signalled to native Hawaiians a loss of control over land, resources, and ultimately, their lives.

Abstract This paper is a comparative study of the ritual of sacrifice in the highly stratified societies of Tonga and Tahiti in the period immediately following the commencement of European contact. It looks at the form of the ritual, the occasions on which the ritual was performed, and argues that although sacrifice was usually performed in order for the chiefly elite to gain some benefit, both chiefs and commoners made use of the ritual for political ends. The paper then looks briefly at human sacrifice in Hawai'i, in order to demonstrate the validity of the conclusions drawn in the paper within the wider context of Polynesia.

This article discusses the population decline among the Mariana population. The Marianas are unique among the Pacific Islands because there are consistent census records of the population since it was first discovered in 1668 by a mission team. The article explores a variety of reasons the population declined included population concentration and the introduction of an epidemic. The reason for the decline is disputed among researchers although there is unanimous agreement that the decline did occur and it occurred within a brief period after initial contact with the Europeans. There are also brief accounts of persecution territorial exchanges and uprisings but there are no population estimates associated with the stories and thus the reason for the decline is still unknown.

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.
