I accordingly ordered the oars to begot out, so as to avoid her if necessary. Suddenly, however, as she gotclose to us down came her sail, and all the warriors prostratedthemselves on the deck, where they remained as we glided by. Had webeen alone we should have boarded them, but with Mary and Alea on board, we felt it more prudent to avoid them.
The wind soon again springing up, on we sailed, and as long as we coulddistinguish the people on the deck, they were seen still lying down asthey were... when we passed. The cause of this strange behaviour did nottill then strike me, when my eye fell on the hideous idol in our bow, and I found many months afterwards that I was right in my conjectures, when I met with one of the men who had formed the crew of the canoe. Heand his companions were among the most ferocious of the cannibals of thePacific. On seeing us they had borne down upon us intending ourdestruction. When, however, they saw the two hideous idols stuck up ateither end of the boat, they were impressed with the idea that somepowerful gods were on a cruise, or about to visit some new country, andcompletely awestruck, they dared not examine us further.
