Narrative of the Voyages Round the World, Performed by Captain James Cook: with an Account of His Life During the Previous and Intervening Periods

CHAPTER VI
176/205

In the afternoon, a chief of the first rank, and nearly related to Kariopoo, paid us a visit on board the Discovery.

His name was Ka, mea, mea: he was dressed in a very rich feathered cloak, which he seemed to have brought for sale, but would part with it for nothing except iron daggers.

These the chiefs, some time before our departure, had preferred to every other article; for, having received a plentiful supply of hatchets and other tools, they began to collect a store of warlike instruments.

Kameamea procured nine daggers for his cloak; and, being pleased with his reception, he and his attendants slept on board that night.
'In the morning of the 11th of February, the ships anchored again in Keragegooah Bay, and preparation was immediately made for landing the Resolution's foremast.

We were visited but by few of the Indians, because there were but few in the bay.
