Edenic Friendly Islands and a Deported Resident
A fragmented colonial era piece contrasts the Friendly Islands as an earthly Eden where natives fish, gather fruit, sing, and prosper. It notes a white settler deposit of $4 with the government, refundable after two years if life is decent, but forfeited and deportation ensues for trouble. The excerpt also includes quick humorous vignettes and a Pepys diary note about a dog that kills cats.
