The online of tiie grave wasr defended by a curb, or border, of fragments of coral planted in the groirtid, while the grave itself wa* covered with si&^l pieces of white coral and shells, brought from the adjacent shore. The school was a good building ; and the chapel, erected near tlie ruins of the ancient marae, which I visited during my stay, was one of the most compact I had seen in the Geor...gian or Society Islands. The walls were fvfeuned and boarded ; the roof thatched with fara^ or palm-leaves. The floor was boarded, the pulpit and appendages ren^arkably neat, and the whole area of the chapel filled with seats. It was also fitted up with a gallery, the first ever erected in the South Sea Islands; the gallery, and other paits of the interior, having been finished under the direction and by the assistance of Mr. Darling, w*re neater, aiid more European in appearance^ than any I had hitherto beheld .
