REFLECTIONS AFTER MARNOO’S DEPARTURE-BATTLE OF THE POP-GUNS—STRANGE CONCEIT1 OF MARHEYO—PROCESS OF MAKING TAPPA
THE knowledge I had now obtained as to the intention of the savages2 deeply affected3 me.
Marnoo, I perceived, was a man who, by reason of his superior acquirements, and the knowledge he possessed4 of the events which were taking place in the different bays of the island, was held in no little estimation by the inhabitants of the valley. He had been received with the most cordial welcome and respect. The natives had hung upon the accents of his voice, and, had manifested the highest gratification at being individually noticed by him. And yet despite all this, a few words urged in my behalf, with the intent of obtaining my release from captivity5, had sufficed not only to banish6 all harmony and good-will; but, if I could believe what he told me, had gone on to endanger his own personal safety.
How strongly rooted, then, must be the determination of the Typees with regard to me, and how suddenly could they display the strangest passions! The mere7 suggestion of my departure had estranged8 from me, for the time at least, Mehevi, who was the most influential9 of all the chiefs, and who had previously10 exhibited so many instances of his friendly sentiments. The rest of the natives had likewise evinced their strong repugnance11 to my wishes, and even Kory-Kory himself seemed to share in the general disapprobation
