He was not gone long before he return'd and took his seat again for a few minutes, then went away again, as we was told, to order something to be got for us to Eat, and at this time we gladly would have gone too, being almost Suffocated with the Crowd that was about us.
However, here we remained for about 10 Minutes longer, when word was brought us that the Chief wanted us.

We were then conducted to our own Boat, where we found him setting alone under the Awning.

He made signs to us to come to him, which we did, and as many with us as the Boat would hold.

Here he ordered some Bread fruit and Cocoa Nut to be brought, of both of which we tasted.
After we had set here sometime, a Message was brought to the Chief, who immediately went out of the Boat, and we was desired to follow, and was conducted to a large Aria or Court Yard on one side of his House, where we were entertained with Public wrestling.

Tootaha seated himself at one end of the place, and several of his Principal men sat round him in a Semicircle.
