The second in command had been reinforced by the first in command, and now, summoned by courier, appeared the secretary-general of the Etablissements Françaises de l'Oceanie, bearded and helmeted, white-faced and nervous, throwing his arms into the air and shrieking, "Qu' est-que ce que ça? Is this war? Are we human, or are these savages?"
Its calamitous happenings are "in the archives." I have the word of the secretary-general of the Etablissments Français de l'Oceanie for that, and in the saloons and coffee-houses they talked loudly of the "bataille entre les cochons Anglais et les héros les Français et les Tahitiens."
Now I wanted to cut off entirely from the main road, to sequester myself in a faraway spot, and to live as close to the native as was possible for me. My time was drawing near for departure. I must see all of the Etablissements Français de l'Oceanie, the blazing Paumotu atolls, and the savage Marquesas, and I must make the most of the several months yet remaining for me in Tahiti.
