This book was written under the pseudonym, Julian Hillas, a name used by Dashwood over numerous articles and in two other books, a novel, <I>I Know An Island</I> (London, 1933) and an autobiography, <I>South Seas Paradise</I> (London, 1965). The author was born in England in 1899 and died at Mauke, Cook Islands, in 1970. He went to the Cook Islands in 1929 and became a trading store manager, having earlier been a schoolmaster in England, a farmer in South Africa, a rubber planter in Malaya, and a midshipman during World War I. He was prominent in Cook Islands politics, being renowned for shrewdness, incisive speeches and lively wit.

An unpublished typescript novel of 182 pp. of single-spaced foolscap set in the Cook Islands. The title page indicates that it was written after <I>I Know An Island</I>. There is also an author's note, written at Rakahanga, his home in the mid-1930s. The note reads in part as follows: 'To the atolls and islands of the Pacific the storm tides of Civilisation have brought many strange objects, and seeds of greed and disease, carried by the angry winds of Progress, have infected the peoples of Polynesia. The swan-song of a race is now being sung, and the tragedy lies, not so much in the singing, but that it is so often mistaken for a paean of praise of those responsible for the calamity. In <I>White Natives</I> I have held up a mirror to faces and places, which although fictitious in themselves, might easily find counterparts in almost any group of South Sea islands.' It is understood from Pacific Publications that Mr Dashwood sold the typescript to Mr W.H. Watson of Rarotonga for a case of bully beef and that many years later Mr Watson unsuccessfully submitted it to Pacific Publications for publication.

Reo Pasifika. Voice of the Pacific. La Voix Du Pacifique, Journal of the Pacific Churches Research Centre, Port Vila; edited by Rev. Brian Macdonald-Milne, No.1, 1980. See PMB 1333 for records relating to the Pacific Churches Research Centre.

This is a rare copy of Reo Pasifika. Voice of the Pacific. La voix du Pacifique, No.1, 1980, journal of the Pacific Churches Research Centre, Port Vila, in English and French; edited by Rev. Brian Macdonald-Milne. It is likely that there was only ever one issue of Reo Pasifika published. This issue includes articles by Sir John Guise on Christianity in PNG and by Grace Mera Molisa on women in Vanuatu. There are also two articles on Pacific archives administration: one by Fr. Theo Cook SM on the Marist archives in the Pacific and the other by Rev. Brian Macdonald-Milne reporting on PEACESAT discussions on Pacific archives administration held in 1978 and 1979.

This is the journal of Mr Taptulu’s grandfather Tatai of Nui. Nui
is a northern island in Tuvalu where the Kiribati language is spoken. The journal, in Kiribati, includes an account of Tatai’s visit to Samoa, his training there as a missionary and his return to Nui; a genealogy of Nui; and, lastly, an account of the visit to Nui by the canoe Toantebuke, including a list of those on board. There is also a typed transcript in Kiribati of the text of the journal.

Emily May Pateman was born in Croydon, England on 26 March 1893. On 15 February 1922 she was dedicated as a missionary with the London Missionary Society and on 25 February sailed for the Gilbert Islands to work as a teaching missionary with Miss B.E. Simmons at Rongorongo, Beru. In December 1941, the High Commissioner for the Western Pacific ordered that all European women and their children must leave the islands due to the Japanese advance. On 10 December they boarded the John Williams IV and sailed for Suva where they were told that the Japanese had invaded the Gilbert Islands within three hours of their departure. May (her preferred name) Pateman returned to the Gilberts in April 1945 having spent the intervening years in education work with the Fiji government and at Papauta Girls School in Samoa. She was the founder and an active member of the Gilbert Islands Girls Guide movement. Through the Mission Press in Beru she published a number of works including The New School Reader, 1940; Aia Karaki ni Kawai I-Tungaru (Myths and Legends of the Gilbertese People), 1942; a Revised Gilbertese Grammar and Composition and a revised edition of Children of the World and Their Homes. May Pateman collected the stories on this microfilm over a period of time and used most of them in Aia Karaki ni Kawai I-Tungaru.

In the first seven items the Kaure material appears twice, the second time being a copy of the first. PP3, Rikini Karongoa, was not available for copying.<BR>IOTAMO: (comp.) n.d.
