This is their grand Dramatick Heiva, and I believe is occasionally performed in all the Islands.

Upon my return to the Ship in the evening I found that they had got on board 20 Tuns of Ballast, and this I thought would be sufficient.

In the morning we sent all our water Casks on shore, and got them all off full by Noon.

This morning I received a present from Opoony, the Eare dehi of Bolabola, who at this time was upon this Island.

It consisted of 3 Hogs, some pieces of Cloth, Plantains, Cocoa Nuts, etc.
