Renton never saw the rest of his companions again, for they were removed to the interior of the Island probably sold to some of the bush tribes, the "man-a-bush," as the coastal natives called them. Their fate is not difficult to guess, for the people of Malayta were then, as they are now, cannibals.
I cannot find out anything from D'Entrecasteaux's "Voyage," regarding the southern islands of the group, so have left them uncoloured. MALAYTA Island in a rough MS. chart in the Admiralty has its northern shore fringed. CHOISEUL Island. In Bougainville's "Chart of Choiseul Bay," parts of the shores are fringed by coral-reefs. BOUGAINVILLE Island.
Crowds of natives from that part of the island which was Malayta, one of the Solomon Group came to look at them, and one man, a chief, took a fancy to Renton, and claimed him as his own especial property.
