The “Polynesian motif” defines a lineage of human mtDNA that is restricted to Austronesian-speaking populations and is almost fixed in Polynesians. It is widely thought to support a rapid dispersal of maternal lineages from Taiwan ?4000 years ago (4 ka), but the chronological resolution of existing control-region data is poor, and an East Indonesian origin has also been proposed. By analyzing 157 complete mtDNA genomes, we show that the motif itself most likely originated >6 ka in the vicinity of the Bismarck Archipelago, and its immediate ancestor is >8 ka old and virtually restricted to Near Oceania. This indicates that Polynesian maternal lineages from Island Southeast Asia gained a foothold in Near Oceania much earlier than dispersal from either Taiwan or Indonesia 3–4 ka would predict. However, we find evidence in minor lineages for more recent two-way maternal gene flow between Island Southeast Asia and Near Oceania, likely reflecting movements along a “voyaging corridor” between them, as previously proposed on archaeological grounds. Small-scale mid-Holocene movements from Island Southeast Asia likely transmitted Austronesian languages to the long-established Southeast Asian colonies in the Bismarcks carrying the Polynesian motif, perhaps also providing the impetus for the expansion into Polynesia.

A distant view of Tinian Island, one of the Northern Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean, as seen from the Caroline Islands, from Freycinet's important publication "Voyage autour du monde." Louis Claude Desaulces de Freycinet (1779-1842) was a French marine officer and explorer, who participated in several significant early 19th-century expeditions to relatively unknown areas in the southern hemisphere. In 1800, he joined one of the most important early explorations of Australia, which was commissioned by the French government and commanded by Nicholas Baudin (1754-1803). On this voyage, which included stops in Mauritius and Tasmania, Freycinet served as a surveyor and was responsible for conducting a thorough cartographic survey of the Australian coast. Upon returning to France years later, he completed a detailed account of the journey begun by the naturalist Françis Péron that was published as Voyage de decouvertes aux Terres Australes between 1807 and 1816. In 1817, Freycinet embarked on the Uranie on a major scientific expedition around the world to record information regarding the geography, meteorology, terrestrial magnetism, ethnology, and indigenous flora and fauna of various locations in the southern hemisphere. Accompanied by the talented artist Jacques Arago, he explored the Sandwich Islands, the Hawaii Islands as well as Rio de Janeiro, the Cape of Good Hope, Tonga, Gibraltar, Tenerife, Mauritius, Timor, Tierra del Fuego, Montevideo, Mauritius, New South Wales, and the Caroline Islands. After being shipwrecked near the Falklands, Freycinet eventually returned to Paris on the Physicienne in 1820, where he published a comprehensive illustrated account of the expedition in a colossal thirteen-volume work entitled Voyage Autor de Monde.

who, accompanied by all his principal chiefs, had left his home for the sole purpose of inducing one or more of the missionaries to reside amongst his people. The station and evident sincerity of Tamatoa, and his compatriots who formed this embassy induced the brethren to entertain their proposal. But there were other considerations from which it derived additional weight; especially the position, history, and existing circumstances of the island; and these had considerable influence in determining Mr. Williams's preference for this sphere of labour

page 81
Mr. Williams's communications to the Directors and his family contain other information of a similar kind. From a letter, dated Sept. 5, 1819, he thus reports the progress of the Mission :
" We have opened a neat little place of worship at Tahaa, in a district called Tivaa, and there is 'another erected, which we intend to open shortly, and visit regularly, in the district of Patio, where we expect a congregation of five hundred or six hundred persons. We intend, likewise, to place two of our most intelligent and consistent Raiateans over the school, to which we shall ourselves pay particular attention on our visits. We are all much pleased with the prospect of usefulness which the new station presents to our view
 

page 81
These rapid changes in the circumstances and habits of the people were not less surprising than valuable, as all will admit, who consider their character, prior to the residence of the missionaries among them. Extremely indolent, save when excited by pleasure or passion; the subjects of few artificial wants, and dwelling in a relaxing and luxurious climate, which, in a great degree, relieved them from labour, by supplying, either spontaneously, or with but little cultivation, their necessary food, motives of more than ordinary power were requisite to arouse them to vigorous and persevering exertion. Walking in the steps, and adopting the customs of their ancestors whose dwelling-places they inherited, it was not to be expected that to gratify strangers, or from the hope of benefits which they were unable to appreciate, they would readily change their manner of life. And such a voluntary transition was the less probable, from the congeniality of those habits which they were required to relinquish with their strongest natural propensities. To pluck and eat the ripe fruits of their generous clime, or to slumber in the deep shade of the luxuriant trees upon which they clustered ; to fish or sport within the placid waters of their lagoon; to ride in triumph upon the crested wave ; to race, wrestle, and recite their traditions, or at evening, to mingle in the wild frolic, or the favourite dance were among the chief occupations and enjoyments of their life, except, when inflamed by revenge or stimulated by fear, they girded themselves for the battle. What a task to induce them to exchange such a state, for the patient and continuous labour of acquiring knowledge, and forming habits, the importance of which they could but dimly discern!

But this was accomplished; and by the only means adequate to so great an effect. While presenting every secular motive which the natives could understand to excite them to labour, the missionaries knew well that the force of all such considerations as their personal and domestic comfort, would, if urged alone,
Page 82
be insufficient to overcome the habits and propensities by which they were opposed. But their reliance was not in these. It was in the Gospel. This they deemed " the mighty power of God" for promoting the civilization no less than the salvation of the people; and proceeded upon the belief, which the result of the experiment fully confirmed, that the transformation of the rude and lawless community around them could only be effected by the manifestation of evangelical truth.

OF WAVES.

A wave of the sea always breaks in front of its base, and that portion of the crest will then be lowest which before was highest.

But they take particular delight in another amusement in the water, called Fumeefoo. They go down to the flat shore, at high water, when the swell rolls with great force to the land, and plunge in and swim some yards into the sea, then pushing themselves on the top of the swell, they ride in, close to the shore. It is astonishing to see with what dexterity they will steer themselves on the wave, one hand being stretched out, as the prow before, and the other guiding them like a rudder behind: and though they are riding in upon the swelling billow, with a frightful rapidity, that makes you apprehend they will be dashed and killed upon the shore, they will, with surprising agility, turn themselves suddenly, on one side, and darting back through the next wave, swim out to sea, till another swell waft them on towards shore; when, if inclined to land, they will again turn themselves on one side, and, awaiting the wave's return, dart through the refluent surge, and reach the shore in safety. Several hours are often spent at one time, in this sport, in which the women are as skilful as the men. I never attempted this diversion myself, as the trial might have been fatal.

This general work on swimming is notable partly for the illustrations of the various patented devices for aiding people to swim. These include flippers for the feet, webbings for the hands and pedal driven propellers.

These are part of the Spalding's Athletic Library.

Annette Kellermann was born in Sydney in 1886 and learned to swim at Dick Cavill's Baths on Sydney Harbour, near the present site of the Sydney Opera House, and by 1900 she was the champion female swimmer of New South Wales. The family moved to Melbourne, and Annette began to perform in aquatic displays, including high diving performances with Wirth's Olympia, near Prince's Bridge. Stage shows followed and Annette moved to England and Europe. In 1907 she moved to the United States where she continued her stage and exhibition appearances. She married a movie camera-man in 1912 and from 1916 began to appear in movies.

Annette was a celebrity swimmer and, in her book on Physical beauty, stresses the importance of strenuous sport for women,

    I insist that swimming is not only a splendid sport for women but that it is the sport for women - the one sport, in fact, with the possible exception of dancing, in which she can fully compete with men. (p. 85)

Swimming has continued to be a strong Australian sport in the Olympics, the Commonwealth games, and other international competitions.

In 1844 George French Angas (1822-1886) travelled some 800 miles through mainly uncharted territory. Angas's drawings of Maoris in native dress, their houses, totems, ornaments, weapons, wood carvings, funerals, war dances and customs form a record of a civilization that was about to undergo radical changes. Facing each plate, Angas writes interesting details about the portrayed person and his/her role in local life and/or New Zealand society. There are also some plates of New Zealand scenery, vulcanoes, forests, lakes, etc. The work contains an engraved dedication to Prince Albert, a six-page introduction of the main customs, and a list of subscribers. It was originally published in ten parts between 1846 and 1847.

CHAPTER XI. SKETCHES OF HONOLULU.

Page 328
(Arrival in Honolulu)

Wednesday, June 10.
The bay of Honolulu is only a bend in the shore.
About a mile from the strand, a coral reef emerges, over which the rollers pour their perpetual surge.
Through this reef, nature has left a narrow passage, which admits smaller vessels, but a ship of our depth is obliged to anchor outside, and nearly two miles distant from the shore.

The right extremity of the bay, as you enter it, is guarded by the steep cone of an exhausted volcano, which has taken the less terrific name of Diamond Hill.
The left is defended by a bold bluff, which shoulders its way, with savage ferocity, into the roaring sea.
The town of Honolulu stretches along the interval, while close in the background soars the wild crater of another extinguished volcano, under the bewildering name of the Punch-Bowl.
The steeps beyond are broken into deep ravines, which wind off in rich verdure into the heart of the island
 

Page 339

We passed near the shore a large number of canoes, in which the natives were engaged in fishing.
They keep them pointed towards the sea, and one person vigorously at work with the paddles, so that the rollers, which set in here with great force, may ...

... not heave them high and dry on the beach.
They show great skill in the management of these treacherous canoes.
A novice would upset one before he was well in.
They are often themselves capsized, but it costs them only a ducking; the canoe is instantly righted, and they are back again in its hollow.
As for the water, it is almost as much their element as that of the fish for which they angle.
They can dive from ten to fifteen fathoms, and bring up shells; or swim many miles without apparent fatigue. There is a native woman, now living in Honolulu, who, being wrecked at sea, swam twenty miles to the shore of a neighboring island.
Her husband, of feebler constitution, gave out; she buoyed him up, swimming with him till they had come in sight of the shore, when he sank overpowered.
Still she clung to him, and brought the lifeless form to the beach.
Give me a kanacka wife in a gale.

Surf Sport of the Natives.

Thursday, June 18 (1846)

Page 352
Nothing here has amused me more than the surfsports of the young chiefs. Each takes a smooth board, of some eight feet in length, leads it over the coral shallows far out into the sea, and when a tremendous roller is coming in, jumps upon it, and the roller carries him upon its combing top, with the speed of an arrow, to the shore. A young American, who was among them, not liking to be outdone in a sport which seemed so simple, thought he would ...

Page 353
try the board and billow. He ventured out a short distance, watched his opportunity, and, as the roller came, jumped upon his plank, was capsized, and hove, half strangled, on the beach.

" There, breathless, -with his digging nails he clung
Fast to the sand, lest the returning wave,
From whose reluctant roar his life he wrung,
Should suck him back to her insatiate grave."

The young females are as fond of the water as the men. We passed in a boat yesterday a group of them sitting on the coral reef a mile out at sea. They were enjoying the surf, which broke over them with each successive billow. Now and then a stronger, wave would sweep some of them from their perch, and bear them to a great distance in its whirling foam. But they would soon swim back again amidst the laughter of their companions. They were without covering, and plunged under the water till our boat had got past, and then recovered their posi-, tion on the reef; and there they sat like mermaids,

Serene amid the breakers' roar,
Their dark locks floating on the surge,
Attuning shells, through which they po"ur
The solemn ocean's mimic dirge.

The spot on which the town is situated is low: I may say scarcely raised above the level of the sea; but at the back of it and all round inland the hills tower one above the other in strange irregularity, and with original picturesque effect. In every direction that the eye may wander, even to the hilly summits, is one dense forest of the most luxuriant appearance; the variety in the colour of the foliage is really enchanting to gaze upon, but the chief mass of it is of a bright green. In approaching the beach fronting the town, for half a mile from the shore, there is to be passed through a surf of a very formidable kind: it begins to rise high a long distance out, and breaks with roaring fury several times before it scatters itself on the beach, and great care must be DESCRIPTION OF TACAMES. 39

taken by any boat's crew going through it, to avoid the disaster that proved so fatal to poor Butcher and his surgeon.

There ought to be a stout experienced man at the steer-oar, as everything then depends in keeping the boat right before the breakers, or straight against them, in effecting a landing or coming off again. Well, we foamed through those breakers in a very dashing manner, and effected our landing with only a fair sprinkling of the surf that boiled high around us.

"King Taufa’ahau Tupou IV had absolute rule for more than 40 years. It was in 1967 after the death of Queen Salote that the new King inherited the loyalty that the people had shown for his mother.
The King was quite an athlete in his earlier days as a proficient pole-vaulter, cricketer, and rugby player. He was also credited with introducing surfing to his island home."
