After visiting the island and engaging in a skirmish with the natives in 1774, Cooke declared that "no one would ever venture to introduce Christianity.because neither fame nor profit would offer the requisite inducement."

Undaunted, Paton arrived in 1858, where twenty years earlier, the first missionaries to the island, John Williams and James Harris, were clubbed to death immediately upon disembarking their vessels".
