There were likewise some men who acted a kind of a Farce but this was so short that we could gather nothing from it only that it shew'd that this People have a notion of Dramatick performances and some of our gentlemen saw them act a Farce the next day wherein was four acts and it seem'd to them to represent a War between the Bolabola men and those of Ulietea wherein the former triumph'd over the latter - but what might help them to draw this conclusion was the knowing that such a thing has not long ago happen'd between these two people and that the Bolabola men ^at present posess most of the lands on this Island. This is their grand Dramatick Heiva and I beleive is occasionaly perform'd in all the Islands. Upon my return to the Ship in the evening I found that they had got on board 20 Tons of Ballast and this I thought would be sufficient; in the mor^ning we sent all our water casks a shore and got them all off full by noon. This morning I received a present from Opoony the Arrii Earee dehi of Bolabola who at this time was upon this Island, it consisted of three Hogs, some peices of cloth, Plantains, Cocoa-nuts &Ca these were sent by his servants and I was told that he would come the next day himself
