Why, it's agin' nature. " For a few days after this nothing occurred to widen the breach. The Tahitians worked with a will, lightening their labours with many a song and merry jest ; for they were by nature an amiable and kindly- hearted people, full to overflowing of the most gene- rous instincts and noble impulses, and their devotion to Christian and his beautiful wife was sufficient reason for them to toil unrepiningly for the rest of the white men ; to their simple minds, those who sought t...o oppress them were of Christian's race and, as such, had a claim upon them. But underneath all their present content there was yet a hidden current of dis- satisfaction which only the quick mind of Alrema had fathomed, and she was a woman who meant to make use of it when the time came. So, while the white seamen lay in their houses and ate and drank and were waited upon by their obedient Tahitian wives, the brown men let the white slowly but surely assume HEWERS OF WOOD 173 the rights of masters over them, and uncomplainingly became hewers of wood and drawers of water.
