MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF THE PEOPLE.

L was Cook's Bay, in Easter Island or Easter, is situated in 27 ° 11 'south latitude and 111 ° 55' 30 "longitude west.

[...]
The landing is pretty easy at the foot of a statue which I will soon.





At daybreak, I did all have our down to earth. I had flattered to find friends, since I had filled all those present who had come on board the day before, but I too pondered the relationship of different travelers not to know that these Indians are big children the sight of our various furniture excites strong desires if they are all used to take it. So I thought it had to be withheld by the fear that I ordered and began the descent, a small device warrior and we did it in the end with four boats and twelve armed soldiers. Mr. Langle and I were followed by all the passengers and officers, except those necessary to board the two frigates for the service, we composed in it including the crew of our ships to trains, about seventy people.


Easter Island


Four or five hundred Indians were waiting on shore, they were unarmed, some covered with pieces of cloth, white or yellow, but the most were naked and many were tattooed their faces painted in red, their cries and their faces expressed the joy, they proceeded to give us a hand and assist our descent.

The island in this part , is about twenty feet high, the mountains are seven or eight hundred yards in the interior and the foot of these mountains, the land slopes gently to the sea This space is covered with grass I think proper to feed the cattle, the grass covered with boulders which are only laid on the ground and they seemed to me absolutely the same as those of the Isle of France, known in the country pumpkin, because the greatest number is the size of this fruit, and these stones, so that we find uncomfortable walking, are a blessing of nature, they remain grounded its freshness and humidity and compensate in part to the salutary shade trees that these people have been foolish enough to cut into time probably very remote, which exposed their soil to be burned by the heat of the sun and reduced them to have neither ravines or streams, or sources, they were unaware that, in small islands in the middle of an immense ocean, the coolness of the earth covered with trees can only stop, condense the clouds and the mountains and maintain an almost constant rain that spreads by springs or streams in different neighborhoods.




A long stay in the Isle of France, which looks so hard to Easter Island, I learned that trees do not grow back in Unless you are sheltered from onshore winds by trees or other enclosures of walls, and it is this knowledge that I discovered the cause of the devastation of Easter Island. The inhabitants of this island have less to complain about their volcano eruptions, long extinct, but their own carelessness. But as human beings is all that one gets used the most in all situations, that people seemed less unfortunate that Captain Cook and Mr. Forster. They arrived on the island after a long and arduous journey, destitute, sick from scurvy, they found neither water nor wood nor pigs: a few chickens, bananas and potatoes are very scarce resources in these circumstances. Relations bear the imprint of this situation. Ours was much better: the crews enjoyed the most perfect health in Chile we took what we needed for several months and we wanted to do this people that the ability to do him good, and we provided it with goats sheep, pigs and we had the seeds of orange, lemon, cotton, corn, and generally all the species that could succeed on his island.

Our first care, after landing, was to form an enclosure with armed soldiers, arranged in a circle and we enjoignîmes residents to leave this empty space, where we pitched a tent and I did go ashore I present the destination, as well as different beasts, but as I had expressly forbidden shooting, and my orders were not even away with the butt of rifle Indians who are too uncomfortable, and soon the soldiers were themselves exposed to the greed of these islanders, whose numbers had increased; they were at least eight hundred, and in this number there were many a hundred and fifty women. The physiognomy of many of these women was pleasant and they offered their favors to all those who would make them a present. The Indians undertook to accept, and some of them gave the example of the pleasures they could provide, they were separated from spectators by a simple homespun blanket, and during the provocations of these women were removed our hats on our heads and handkerchiefs our pockets, all seemed complicit flights that we did, just because they were committed that, like a flock of birds, they fled at the same time, but seeing that we did not use our guns, they returned a few minutes later, they recommenced their caresses and watched the time for a theft: this ride lasted all morning. As we were leaving that night, and a short space of time does not allow us to take care of their education, we took the party to have fun tricks as these islanders were using to rob us, and to remove any pretext for any assault, which could have fatal consequences, I announced that I'd make the soldiers and sailors hats that would be removed. These Indians were unarmed, three or four, on so many, had a sort of wooden club little daunting, and some appeared to have a slight authority over others, I took them for their heads and I was distributing medals that I tied around their necks with a chain, but I soon discovered they were precisely the most notorious thieves, and although they had the air to continue those who took away our handkerchiefs, it was easy to see that the intention was most decided not to join.




We only had eight or ten hours to stay on the island and we do not want to waste our time, so I entrusted the care of the tent and all of our belongings to Mr. Escures, my first lieutenant, I loaded further command of all soldiers and sailors who were ashore. We then We divided into two troops. The first orders of M. de Langle, was to penetrate as much as possible within Island, sow seeds in all places that seem likely to spread, test the soil, plants, culture, people, monuments, and generally anything that might be of interest in this very special people, those who felt the strength to go a long way enlisted with him and he was followed by MM. Dagelet, Lamanon, Duchy, Dufresne, La Martiniere, father Receiver, Abbe Monges and gardener. The second, which I was, merely sightseeing, platforms, houses and plantations around a mile from the hotel. The design of these monuments, given by Mr. Hodges, makes it very imperfectly what we saw. Mr. Forster believes they are the work of a people much larger than exists today, but his opinion does not seem justified. The biggest busts that are rude on these platforms, and we measured only fourteen feet six inches high, seven feet six inches wide at the shoulders, three feet thick in the belly, six feet wide and five feet thick at the base, these busts, I say, could be the work of the current generation, I think I can, without exaggeration, bringing the population to two thousand people. The number of women approached me seemed very of men and I saw many children as in any other country, and though, about twelve hundred people that our arrival had gathered around the bay, there was more than three hundred women, I don ' ve taken other than conjecture to suppose that the islanders of the end of the island had come to see our ships, and that women, or more sensitive or more occupied with their household and their children, remained in their houses so that we have seen that those who live in the vicinity of the bay. The relationship of Mr. Langle confirms this view: he has met in the interior of the island many women and children , And we all entered the cave where Mr. Forster and some officers of Captain Cook first believed that women could be hidden. These underground houses of the same shape as those I describe earlier, and in which we found small bundles, including the largest piece was five feet long and did not exceed six inches diameter. It can not however cast doubt that the people had not hidden their women when Captain Cook visited them in 1772, but it is impossible to guess the reason, and we need perhaps to how generous he behaved towards the people trust that your showed us and put us to reach a better judge of its population.

All the monuments that exist today, including Mr. Duchy gave a very accurate drawing, seem very old, they put out in morais as much as we can judge by the large amount bones found nearby. We can not doubt that the form their government has matched the conditions so there is no longer large enough to head a large number of men involved in the care of preserving his memory by erecting a statue to him. Was substituted for these colossal piles of small stones in a pyramid, the summit is a bleached lime water: these species mausoleums, which are the work of one hour for one man, are stacked on edge Sea, and an Indian, lying down to earth, has clearly identified that these covered a stone tomb then raising his hands toward heaven, he obviously wanted to express their belief in another life. I was very alert against this view and admit that I'm far away from this idea, but having seen several repeat sign, and Mr. Langle, who traveled in the interior of the island, like me reported same result, I no longer had any doubt about that and I think all our officers and passengers have shared this view: we have yet seen no trace of the worship, because I do not think anyone can make for the statues of idols, though the Indians have shown a kind of reverence for them. These colossal busts of which I have already given the dimensions, and prove very little progress they made in sculpture, are of volcanic production, known to naturalists as the lapillo : a stone is so soft and so light that some officers of Captain Cook believed it could be fake, and composed of a kind of mortar that had hardened in air. It only remains to explain how they managed to raise without a fulcrum enormous weight, but we are confident that this is a volcanic stone, very light and with the levers of five or six yards , and slippery rocks below, one can, as explained very well the Captain Cook arrive in raising a still greater weight, and a hundred men are enough for this: there would be no space for the work of many. And the wonderful disappears it goes to the nature of his stone lapillo , which is not fake, and there is reason to believe that if there are more new buildings on the island is that all conditions are equal and we're just jealous of being king of a people who are almost naked, who lives on potatoes and yams, and, conversely, these Indians could not be at war, since ' they have no neighbors, do not need a leader who has authority some extent.

I can only hazard guesses about the customs of a people whose language I could not hear and I did not see that one day, but I had the experience of travelers who m its predecessors, and I know perfectly their relationship and I could add my own thoughts.




The tenth part of the land is barely grown, and I am convinced that three days of work are enough to every Indian to get a living for a year. This facility provide for life made me believe that the productions of the earth were common as far as I am almost certain that the houses are common to at least a village or district. I measured one of these homes at our institution, she had three hundred and ten feet long, ten feet wide and ten feet high in the middle, its shape was that of a canoe overturned, it was impossible to enter only two gates of two feet high and slipping on his hands. This house can contain more than two hundred people: this is not the home of the leader, since there is no furniture and such a large space would be useless in itself it forms a village with two or three other small houses way apart.



There are probably a leader in each district who shall pay particular attention to the plantations. Captain Cook was believed that this chief was the owner, but if this famous navigator had some difficulty in obtaining a considerable quantity of potatoes and yams, least one must be attributed to the dearth of edible and the need to convene an almost general consent to sell.




For women, I dare say if they are common to an entire district, and children to the republic: it is certain that no Indian seemed have no women on the authority of a husband, and if the particular good of everyone, they are very wasteful.



Some houses are underground, as I said before, but the others are built of reeds, which proves that there is in the inland marshy places: These rods are very artistically arranged and fully guarantee the rain. The building is raised on a plinth of stone from eighteen inches thick, which were dug at equal distances, which enter holes poles that form the frame foldable with vault of mats ring adorn the space between these poles.



can not be doubted, as noted by Captain Cook, the identity of the people with the other islands of the South Sea: same language, even countenance their fabrics are also made from the bark of the mulberry tree, but they are very rare because the drought has destroyed the trees. Those who resisted this species have only three feet high, we even have to surround them with walls to protect them from the wind: it is noteworthy that these trees will never exceed the height of the walls that house them.



I have no doubt at other times these islanders have had the same productions as the Society Islands. The fruit trees have perished by drought, as well as pigs and dogs water is absolutely necessary. But the man who, at the Hudson Strait, drinking whale oil accustomed to everything, and I saw the natives of Easter Island to drink sea water, such as albatrosses Cape Horn. We were in the wet season there was a little brackish water in holes in the sea: we offered it in calabashes, but she rebuffed the most corrupted. I do not flatter myself that pigs which I made them multiply this, but I hope the goats and sheep, who drink and like little salt, will succeed.



At one o'clock, I returned to the tent with the intention of returning on board, so that M. de Clonard, my second, could turn down to earth : I found almost everyone without hat or handkerchief, our sweetness had emboldened the thieves, and I had not been distinguished from the others. An Indian who helped me get a platform, after having rendered this service, snatched my hat and ran off, followed, as usual, of all others; I did not do further and did not want to have the exclusive right to be assured of sun, because we were almost all without a hat. I continued to examine this platform: it is the monument that gave me the highest opinion of the ancient skills of the people to the building, for the word pompous architecture does not suit here. It seems he has never experienced any cement, but it perfectly cut and sharpened stones and they were placed and attached all the rules of art.



I collected samples of these stones are lavas of different density. The lighter, which therefore must be broken first, as the coating on the side of the interior of the island, the one facing the sea is built with a much more compact washer to resist any longer and I do know these islands any instrument or material hard enough to cut these stones may be a longer stay in the island had given me some clarification on this. At two o'clock, I returned on board, and Mr. Clonard down to earth. Then two officers of the Astrolabe came to realize that the Indians had just committed a theft new that had caused a fight a little stronger: divers were cut under water from the boat rode the Astrolabe and had removed his grapple, we did not notice that when the thieves were far enough in interior of the island. As we grapple this was necessary, two officers and several soldiers pursued them, but they were overwhelmed by a shower of stones: a gun-powder fired in the air had no effect, they were finally forced to fire a shot of small shot gun, some grains reached without doubt one of these Indians, for the stoning ceased, and our officers were able to return quietly to our tent; but it was impossible to join the thieves, who had to remain amazed that he had been tired our patience.



They soon returned around our facility; they began to offer their wives, and were also good friends at our first interview . Finally, at six o'clock everything was re-embarked, the boat returned on board and I made signal to prepare to sail. Mr. Langle I realized before our departure, his journey into the interior of the island [...] He had planted seeds throughout its route and he had given these island marks the utmost kindness. But I think complete their portrait in a related case, chef whom Mr. Langle this was a goat and a goat, received them with one hand and he flew his handkerchief in the other.



It is certain that these people were not flying the same ideas as us, they probably do attach any shame, but they know they commit a wrongful act, they would flee at once to avoid the punishment they feared that without doubt and we would not have failed to inflict, by proportioning the crime, if we had had some living to do in this island, for our extreme softness would eventually have unfortunate consequences.



There is nobody who has read the relations of the last passengers to take the Indians to the South Sea savages, they have instead made very great progress in civilization, and I think as corrupt as they can be related to circumstances where they are: my opinion on that is not based on the different flights that have committed, but on how they did it. The most shameless scoundrels of Europe are less hypocritical than those islanders, all pretenses were their caresses, their appearance did not express a single sentiment true: that he should be the most challenging was the Indian to whom we had made a Now, who seemed most eager to make a thousand little services.



They did violence to young girls between thirteen and fourteen years for the lead with us, hoping to receive the salary, and the reluctance of the young Indian was evidence that violated the law against them in the country. No French has exercised the right given to him barbarous and if there were a few moments given to nature, desire and consent were reciprocal, and women have taken the first costs.



I found in this country all the arts of the Society Islands, but with much less how to exercise, lack of raw materials. The canoes also have the same shape, but they are composed only of very narrow pieces of boards, four or five feet length, and can carry four people at most. I've only seen three in this part of the island, and I am somewhat surprised that soon, for lack of wood, there remained no one: they have also learned to do without; and they swim so perfectly with the largest sea they are two leagues off and looking for fun, while returning to Earth, where the blade will break with more force.

Coast seemed little fishy, and I think almost Edible all of these people are from the vegetable kingdom: they live on potatoes, yams, bananas, sugar cane and a small fruit that grows on rocks beside the sea, similar to clusters grape found around the tropics in the Atlantic Ocean. You can not look like a resource that some hens are very rare on this island: our travelers have seen no land bird, sea and those are not common.

The fields are cultivated with great intelligence. These islanders uproot weeds, pile up, burn them, and they fertilize the earth from their ashes. Bananas are aligned with the line. They also cultivate the solarium or nightshade, but I do not know for what purpose they use it if I knew their vessels that could withstand the fire, would think that, as in Madagascar or the Isle of France, they as an eating spinach, but they have no other way to cook their food than those mixed with earth so that all they eat is cooked as the oven.



The care they took measure of my ship proved to me that they had not seen our arts as fools, they examined our cables, our anchors, our compass, our steering wheel, and they came the next day with a string to measure again, which made me believe they had some discussions on this earth and that they some doubts remained. I consider them much less, because they seemed to me capable of reflection. I've given them one to do, and maybe they will go, is that we have made no use of them against our forces, they have not infringed, since the only gesture of a gun play made them flee. We do, however, addressed in their island to do them good, we've filled with presents, we have overwhelmed with caresses all weaklings, especially children at the breast, we sow in their fields all kinds of useful seeds and we have left their homes in pigs, goats and sheep are likely to multiply, we do have them asked nothing in return, however, they have thrown stones and they have stolen everything they were able to remove. It would, again, been careless in other circumstances to lead us with so much sweetness, but I was determined to go at night and I flattered myself that day, when our ships not perceive more they attribute our rapid departure just displeasure that we had to have their processes, and that this reflection might make them better: anyway this idea may be fanciful, browsers have a very small interest, this island n 'offering almost no resources to ships and being somewhat remote from the Society Islands.
