Coupland Harding 1895 The Paumotu or Tuamotu Islands, called also the Dangerous or Low Archi- pelago, include 78 islands, lying to the eastward of the Society Group. They extend over 16 degrees of longitude, and have many outlying islets and reefs. Eighteen of the islands are uninhabited, and in the south-eastern part of the archipelago sixteen islands are peopled by savage tribes, numbering altogether about 700 souls. Mitia, one of the most westerly of the islands, lying about 120 miles N.E. of Tahiti, is a bold mass of coralline limestone rising 250 feet above the sea, and with its coast- line broken by deeply -caverned cliffs. The others are mostly low-lying coral atolls, of surpassing beauty when viewed from a little distance, but close at hand the vege- tation is thin and wiry. The enclosing reefs, which range in circumference from a few miles to a hundred, ring the atolls with breakers ; but inside the lagoons the waters are hmpid and transparent, revealing marine vegetation of exquisite forms. Few of the islands are more than 30 feet above high water mark, and these are covered with thickets of pandanus (screw-pine) and coco-nut palms. The islands were discovered by San Miguel Archangel, and were seen by Quiros in 1606. Later on they were visited by Le Maire, Schouten, and Jacob Koggewein. They have, during the last century, been resorted to by Europeans as whalers, traders, &c., the whaling vessels recruiting there for boat-steerers, harpooners, &c., the Paumotuan natives being famous as the bravest and hardiest sailors in the South Seas. They are also renowned as pearl-fishers ; and it has been estimated that 25,000 tons of pearl shell (worth about £1,000,000) have been exported from this almost-unknown group. The natives are apparently a branch of the Polynesian family. They are darker than Samoans or Tongans, and are of fierce, fearless aspect. They tatoo all over the body and face, in Maori or Marquesan fashion, with conventional patterns ; in this, differing from their nearest neighbours, the Tahitians, whose tattoo is very light, and not on the face. The services of the men have always been in request : they are courageous, faithful, and kind-hearted. For this reason, Pomare of Tahiti had a Paumotuan body-guard. On the other hand, they are very turbulent and rowdy, impatient of restraint, and demand high wages. Formerly, their islands were densely peopled ; but European diseases, emigration to the Society Islands, and the x visits of slavers from the Spanish Main, have left only some 3,500 of these fine natives in existence. They wear very light clothing — generally, only a waist-belt and a head-dress of cloth, made from the paper-mulberry. Their spears, of about 15ft. in length, are ^ their principal weapons ; but these spears, as well as their paddles, are profusely carved in elegant designs. Their vessels are immensely fine and strong double- canoes, in which they are able to take long voyages. The Vocabulary will be found to be of especial interest to a student of Oceanic languages. The bulk of the words are Polynesian — very pure and valuable Poly- nesian ; but there is an admixture from some foreign source, yet untraced. Words such as kavake (moon), rotika (fire), morire (woman), komo (water), rari (one), ite (two), geti (three), &c., seem to have no relation to any known Polynesian dialect. I have endeavoured, by showing comparative Polynesian words, to point out negatively those for which I could not find equivalents, by leaving blank spaces opposite to them. EDWARD TREGEAR. In this brief notice, and in the Vocabulary, I have carefully abstained from alluding to Manga- reva (Gambler Islands) or its people. There we find, within the Paumotu Group, a people speaking a Maori dialect, even more pure than that of the Natives of New Zealand, and quite untainted by Paumotuan alien-words. I hope, in the future, to present a Dictionary of the Mangarevan language to the members of the Polynesian Society ; but it is very full, valuable, and unique, therefore re- quiring much time and attention for its editing. I cannot find any extensive vocabulary of either the Paumotuan or Mangarevan dialects in print. — E.T. M45141 A PAUMOTUAN DICTIONABY. By Edward Tregear.
