Captain Cook’s South Sea Hostilities and Isle Discoveries
The account details Captain Cook’s actions at Eimeo and Huaheiue including punitive measures against thefts, detentions of islanders’ relatives, and foiled plots against him and crew. It notes his forced removal of a youth, harsh punishments, and a desertion episode before naming the Sandwich Isles in January 1778 as he sailed north.
