The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 1

Peace Established

Peace Established.

The Vunivalu and Bauans were now delivered from the serious difficulty of providing food for the daily consumption of their visitors. All resources were now open: cooked and raw food was now supplied in abundance. The turbulence of past months and years subsided. What a mighty change! The people are now lotuing by thousands, that which has hindered being removed. The Vunivalu bears his newly-acquired position and relief in a most becoming and Christian way, and continues with unabated zeal to urge all to become Christians, so that the peace may be permanent, being established on the best and surest foundation, and that Feejee may be saved from its abominations and degradation, and raised, by the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, which is now likely to have free course and be glorified.

As an expression of gratitude to King George, for the timely and abundant help rendered in the distracted state of his dominions, the Vunivalu gave him his schooner of eighty-six tons, the "Thakombau." Every possible attention is paid to King George and his suite. Masts and yards for all his canoes were ordered through Rewa from all the forests of those parts; and sail-mats in great abundance are ready at the large island of Kandavu.
