Maritime Mus. 632: "This voyage was undertaken by the London Missionary Society, for the purpose of establishing a mission in Tahiti. A settlement of 25 persons was formed." "(...) The narrative is fresh, although sometimes naive, and provides a glimpse of everyday life on the islands that the mariner or naturalist didn't consider worth reporting. (...) The long "preliminary discourse" was anonymously written by Samuel Greatheed, using the then-unpublished narrative of James Morrison, one of the pardoned Bounty mutineers. (...)" (Hill 1894).

= Howgego W41; Hill 907; Cox II, p.302f; cat. Nat. Maritime Mus. 615; cf. Carlsmith Coll. 217. One of the most popular books on the Pacific at the close of the 18th cent. The crew of the shipwrecked Antelope built a small boat from the wreck, with which they sailed to Macao. They took with them Prince Lee Boo (son of King Abba Thule of the Palau Islands), who eventually arrived with them in England, but who, as so many of his predecessors, died soon of smallpox. "On the death of the Prince the East India Company sent out two vessels, the Panther and the Endeavour, under Captain McCluer to convey the sad news to Abba Thulle (...), together with some presents of seeds, plants, etc. McCluer finally married one of the native women and lived there for 15 months, when, growing tired of solitude, he managed to reach China in a native boat without compass or other instruments." Noteworthy for its influence on the idea of the noble savage and important for its detailed information on the Palau Islands and its inhabitants (p.365-378 contain a vocabulary of the Pelew language).
