The Ellice Isles and Their Pacific Neighbors
The Ellice Islands, Fiji, Samos, and the New Hebrides lie in the South Pacific with strategic value but limited trade. Funafuti features a lagoon navigable by sizable ships and artificial soil from trenches. Islanders are tall and peaceful, with wars mainly against foreign invaders, and slave-raider history in 1863.
