Excerpt from The Tapu of Banderah
As the rising sun had just begun to pierce the misty tropic haze of early dawn, a small, white-painted schooner of ninety or a hundred tons burden was bearing down upon the low, densely - wooded island of Mayou, which lies between the coast of south-east New Guinea and the murderous Solomon Group - the grave of the white man in Melanesia.
The white population of Mayou was not large, for it consisted only of an English missionary and his wife - who was, of course, a white woman - a German trader named Peter Schwartzkoff and his native wife; an English trader named Charlie Blount, with his two half-caste sons and daughters; and an American trader and ex-whaler, named Nathaniel Burrowes, with his wives.
