Chathams Endured Through Maori Rule And German Missionaries
The Chatham Islands lie 360 miles south east of New Zealand and include three main islands. Discovered in 1791 by Lieut Broadhton, they were settled by Moriori natives who faced conquest and slavery as Maori descendants moved in. German missionaries established trade and pastoral life, transforming the islands by 1878 when Morioris gained independence from Maori control. One elder, Mr H. Silenek, and Mr J. G. Engst, a Bremen-born carpenter now 92, recount early contacts and the shift from savagery to peaceful ranching communities.

Scientific and technical knowledge contrasted as science
The text cites William Kingdon Clifford to distinguish three classes of people and defines science as the study of a universe governed by uniform laws. It notes that mere collection of facts is not science and contrasts predictive theoretical science with applied technical skill, using examples like sextant observations, dynamos, and planetary calculations.
