On the 28th of July 1888 the moon was an hour down by four in the morning. In the east a radiating center of brightness told of the day; and beneath, on the skyline, the morning bank was already building, black as ink. We have all read of the swiftness of the days coming and departure in low latitudes; it is a point on which the scientific and sentimental tourist are at one, and has inspired some tasteful poetry. The period certainly varies with the season; but here is one case exactly noted. Although the dawn was thus preparing by four, the sun was not up till six; and it was half-past five before we could distinguish our expected islands from the clouds on the horizon. Eight degrees south, and the day two hours a-coming. The interval was passed on deck in the silence of expectation, the customary thrill of landfall heightened by the strangeness of the shores that we were then approaching. Slowly they took shape in the attenuating darkness. Ua-huna, piling up to a truncated summit, appeared the first upon the starboard bow; almost abeam arose our destination, Nuka-hiva, whelmed in cloud; and betwixt and to the southward, the first rays of the sun displayed the needles of Ua-pu. These pricked about the line of the horizon; like the pinnacles of some ornate and monstrous church, they stood there, in the sparkling brightness of the morning, the fit signboard of a world of wonders.

AMAZON) In the 1890s, Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of "Treasure Island" and "Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde", chartered a yacht and traveled across the Pacific, visiting the Marquesas, the Paumotus, and the Gilberts. "In the South Seas" is Stevensons account of his travels and of the island cultures he lived in, some of which still practised ritual cannibalism. Shortly after this book was published, Stevenson settled permanently on the Samoan Islands, where he was known as "Tusitala, "the storyteller". He died in Samoa in 1874.
