Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This second collection of Louis Becke's stories highlights the rough side of paradise. Love, lust, honor, betrayal, passion, indifference, honesty, and villainy--all these traits are shared by native and foreigner alike in these tales of adventure, greed, and passion. First published in the late 19th Century, Becke spoke to an audience hungry for information about the South Seas. But even as it was being penned, the region he knew so well had become more settled by Western culture and "civilization" had begun to take its toll on the native population, both physically and psychologically.

A boy and a girl sat by the rocky margin of a deep mountain pool in Ponape in the North Pacific. The girl was weaving a basket from the leaves of a cocoa-nut. As she wove she sang the "Song of Luliban," and the boy listened intently. "'Tis a fine song that thou singest, Niya," said the boy, who came from Metalanien and was a stranger; "and who was Luliban, and Red-Hair the White Man?" "O Guk!" said Niya, wonderingly, "hast never heard in Metalanien of Luliban, she who dived with one husband and came up with another-in this very pool?" "What new lie is this thou tellest to the boy because he is a stranger?" said a White Man, who lay resting in the thick grass waiting for the basket to be finished, for the three were going further up the mountain stream to catch crayfish.

This is a collection of short stories set in the South Seas. It was written in the late nineteenth-century and the stories are mostly quite dark, showing the more unpleasant sides of human nature. At this time, the area was becoming more 'westernised 'by settlers from other parts of the world, and their arrival caused great difficulties for the native inhabitants.
