Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Sea Yarns In the great bure of Raiyawa there was a story-telling. The lying-places filled three sides of the house - mats spread upon grass four feet wide, - and between each lying-place was a narrow strip of bare earth sprinkled with wood-ashes, on which three logs, nose to nose, were smouldering. A thin curl of blue smoke wreathed upwards from each to the conical roof, where they met and filtered through the blackened thatch; so that from outside the bure looked like a disembowelled haystack smouldering, ready to burst into flame. On the fourth side was a low doorway, stopped with a thick fringe of dried rushes, through which ever and anon a grey-headed elder burst head-foremost, after coughing and spitting outside to announce his arrival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Sea Yarns, Vol. 3 I saw that island first when it was neither night nor morning. The moon was to the west, setting, but still broad and bright. To the east, and right amid ships of the dawn, which was all pink, the daystar sparkled like a diamond. The land breeze blew in our faces, and smelt strong of wild lime and vanilla. Other things besides, but these were the most plain; and the chill Of it set me sneezing. I should say I had been for years on a low island near the line, living for the most part solitary among natives. Here was a fresh experience: even the tongue would be quite strange to me -)the look of these woods. And mountains, and the rare smell Of them, renewed my blood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Sea Yarns, Vol. 1 IT was about three o'clock of a winter's afternoon in Tai-o-hae, the French capital and port of entry of the Marquesas Islands. The trades blew strong and squally the surf roared loud on the shingle beach; and the fifty - ton schooner of war, that carries the flag and influence of France about the islands of the cannibal group, rolled at her moorings under Prison Hill. The clouds hung low and black on the sur rounding amphitheatre of mountains; rain had fallen earlier in the day, real tropic rain, a waterspout for violence; and the green and gloomy brow of the mountain was still seamed with many silver threads of torrent.
