  • AU PMB MS 21
  • Collection
  • 6 January 1875 - 31 December 1877

James Lyle Young (1849-1929) was born in Londonderry (Derry), Ireland, and went to Australia with his parents in the mid-1850s. After working in Australia as a station hand, Young, in 1870, went to Fiji where he was associated for five years with a cotton-planting venture at Taveuni. In April, 1875, he left Fiji on a trading voyage to Samoa via Futuna and Wallis Island.

The journal gives a vivid account of Young's life during three of his most adventurous years. It begins with a trading voyage round the Macuata coast of Fiji followed by a voyage to Samoa via Futuna and Wallis Islands. In Samoa, Young saw a great deal of the American adventurer, Colonel A.B. Steinberger, who headed the Samoan Government for 10 extraordinary months. After playing a prominent part in the events that led to Steinberger's downfall, Young sailed for the Marshall Islands in May, 1876, to open a trading station for Thomas Farrell at Ebon Atoll. He remained in Farrell's employ until November, 1877 when he went to Majuro.

Diaries

  • AU PMB MS 499
  • Collection
  • Oct. - Nov. 1877 & May - Dec. 1884

Archibald Taylor was a magistrate on Taveuni Island, Fiji. In lending Taylor's diaries to the Bureau for microfilming, Mr Thompson said in a letter dated 5 May 1972: 'I am sorry for the state of the diaries; they are as I received them for safekeeping from Harry Taylor, eldest son of J.G. Taylor, only son of Archibald Taylor. There must have been a great deal of records of this kind in the past, but through nobody taking care of them this is all that remains that I know of ...' The fragment of diary for 1877 is particularly dilapidated. It should be noted that the second date given in this fragment, Thursday, 1 October 1877, appears to be an error for Thursday, 1 November 1877.

Diaries for 31 October 1877 - 15 November 1877, and 1 May 1884 - 30 December 1884.
