This is an English translation of a novel written in French in 1960 under the title Tane Api or l'Homme blanc repart toujours. The novel was not published. In his book Tahitiens (Paris, 1962), Father Patrick O'Reilly described it as a philosophic study, light-hearted in appearance, but of a deeper intent, describing the soul of the Tahitian women.

A note in the D.S. Marshall’s, Polynesian Journal 1951-1953, (p.183) states that Marshall borrowed the Dictionary from Rev. Murphy in May 1952. (PMB 1335)
There is a Ms. note on the title page of the Dictionary as follows:
“Note:– This MSS. is the property of the Compiler. (Rev G.H. Eastman, London Mission, Beru, Gilbert Islands.)
“It is placed on loan in the Library of the London Missionary Society, Rarotonga, for the use of members of the Mission pending completion of the printing of the book.

Bishop Navarre (1836-1912) was ordained in 1872. He began a mission on New Britain in 1882. In 1884, he arrived at Thursday Island to establish headquarters and prepare for the expansion of the Catholic Mission to the mainland of New Guinea. In the following year Navarre chose Fr Henry Verjus to establish a new station on Yule Island, Papua. Navarre moved to Yule Island himself in 1886, and in the following year returned to Europe to be consecrated Bishop at Issoudun, France. He was raised to the status of Archbishop in August 1888. He remained in Papua New Guinea until just before his death on 16 January 1912.
