ABSTRACT

It was quite dark by the time the noisy rout reached Papeete, where they were met by a great crowd. In a moment we had found each other and were walking side by side, Rarahu and I, along the path leading to our dwelling. A common impulse had brought us together to the homeward path, and we went on like two sulky children who do not know how to begin to make it up. We opened the door and when we were inside we looked at each other.
