520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "William Mariner's story is a classic true adventure of the South Seas. The boy Mariner was a clerk aboard the English private ship of war, the Port au Prince that ventured into the South Pacific nearly two centuries ago. He survived the massacre of the crew at Tonga's Ha'apai Islands in 1806 and became the adopted son of the warrior king Finau 'Ulukalala II, who gave Mariner a new name 'Toki 'Ukamea' or Iron Axe. Mariner spent four years in Tonga before his escape to England. His remarkable story as told to Dr. Martin gives a detailed account of an important time in Tongan history. The power of the divine representative of the gods, the Tu'i Tonga was declining, and the Pacific Island Kingdom was in the turmoil of a civil war to which Finau 'Ulukalala was about to introduce the terror of his newly-acquired canons--Back cover
