About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...vol. vi., 1884, p. 217, and Pioneering in New Guinea, p. 124 seq. 1 " The fame of Tamate has been noised abroad, so that people from China Straits and even from the Louisiade Archipelago visit him." H. M. Chester, Magistrate at Thursday Island to Colonial Secretary, Brisbane, August 3o, 1878. (PP. 1883, c. 3617, p. 8o.) 3 Work and Adventure in New Guinea, 1885, p. 213. 4 G. R. Askwith (Scratchley's Secretary) in Australian Defences and New Guinea, p. 36o. In December 1877 an attack was made upon the mission lugger Mayri, the captain of which was wounded. Chester, in forwarding the latter's report to the Colonial Secretary, Brisbane, added: "It appears they (the missionary party) have firearms but Mr Chalmers will not allow them to be loaded." No action was taken against the natives by H.M.S. Sappho beyond warning them. (PP. 1883, c. 3617, pp. 47-31.) See also Chalmers's A utobiography, pp. 146-151, and Work and Adventure in Kew Guinea, p. 58-62. He certainly could never otherwise have obtained that influence over the natives which enabled him, and in a lesser degree, enabled Lawes to render such conspicuous service to explorers, and gold-seekers, and to the Protectorate. The broad-minded religious policy of the missionaries increased, and helped to maintain the influence gained by their peaceful bearing. They came as educators as well as protectors, and they were careful not to render the principles they taught unpopular, by attempting to put savages, accustomed to licence, into the straitwaistcoat of European convention. They emphasized their creed, not by trying to enforce a rigid code of European manners, but by interpreting the Christian inspiration in terms suitable to a different climate and a different race....
