To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As I entered their huts I seated myself upon the ground with them. They have a peculiar sort of food which they call poi, and is manufactured from taro, a plant which resembles the water-lily, and has large, thick, oblong roots, similar to the sweet potato, but it has a taste more like a yam- They make a hole in the ground, put stones into it. Then make a large fire upon the stones, and con- tinue it until the stones are well heated through- Then the fire is taken off and those roots or taro ar...e placed upon the stones and covered with grass and leaves, where they remain two or three hours, when they are taken out, skinned and placed on a board, and by means of a large, heavy stick of wood they are kneaded, and moistened at the same time, so that it becomes a sort of paste similar to dough. After it is kneaded, it is put into a shell which is some like a gourd shell, and a little more watei' is added, where it remains until the next morning whea it is fit for use.
They place this shell of poi on the gound in the center of the hut.
