It was this solitude that put it in our minds to hire a house, and become, for the time being, indwellers of the isle a practice I have ever since, when it was possible, adhered to. Mr. Donat placed us, with that intent, under the convoy of one Taniera Mahinui, who combined the incongruous characters of catechist and convict.
He marries but the one wife, uses the Protestant Bible, observes Protestant forms of worship, forbids the use of liquor and tobacco, practises adult baptism by immersion, and after every public sin, rechristens the backslider. I advised with Mahinui, whom I found well informed in the history of the American Mormons, and he declared against the least connection.
'Like Mahinui? I asked, willing to have a standard; and I was told 'Yes. Why should I wonder? Men more enlightened than my convict-catechist sit down at home to follies equally sterile and dull. The medium is sometimes female.
Mahinui from whom our convict-catechist had been named the spirit of the sea, like a Proteus endowed with endless avatars, came to the assistance of the shipwrecked and carried them ashore in the guise of a ray fish. The same divinity bore priests from isle to isle about the archipelago, and by his aid, within the century, persons have been seen to fly.
