Their grateful memory of his labours, and affectionate interest in his welfare, were a comfort to him. Saturday's entry is as follows: --" Busy all the week with the new brethren getting on shore luggage and Mission stores. Have been kept in a holy, happy state of mind. Very much blessed at class last evening. Mr. Bumby led the meeting, and I could not but admire his talents, and glorify the grace of God in him. Have given tickets to six classes to-day, besides other engagements. My physical nature seems ready to sink, but the Lord gives me strength for all my work." On their first Sabbath the new Missionaries witnessed a fine illustration of the power of the Gospel. "Sunday, 24th.--Had a large attendance of natives at the early prayer-meeting. Never did I hear more appropriate addresses to the throne of mercy than from several natives recently converted from heathenism. An overflowing congregation at eleven. I read prayers, and Mr. Hobbs preached a good sermon on the Lord's Supper. The notorious Kai Toke (' worm-eater') was present for the first time. At the close of the service I requested Wiramu Patene (William Barton) to pray. In his prayer he particularly remembered Kai Toke, and earnestly entreated the Lord to give him a new heart.

John Martin (1789-1869) was a London-based, Edinburgh-educated physician interested in anthropological matters. This is his only book. He was inspired to write it by a chance encounter with its subject, William Mariner (1791-1853) who spent four years (1806-1810) in Tonga, in the South Pacific, one of the earliest European residents at a time before European influence disturbance or modification society. Mariner, an extraordinarily mature and perceptive youth, became thoroughly imbued with Tongan language and culture as the adopted son of the most powerful chief in Tonga. Thanks to Martin’s intelligent engagement with Mariner resulted in a compelling narrative and a comprehensive account of Tongan society which became a classic. Often celebrated as an extraordinary real-life adventure story, it is a pioneering work of anthropology, and for 200 years it has been a primary and authoritative source for research into Tongan history and culture.
