Pelew Islands

Several specimens are in the Banksian Cabinet, from the Pelew Islands.

These were perhaps the Pelew Islands or the Carolines.

His story was that on his first visit to the Pelew Islands with Captain Peese, the vessel they owned, a small brigantine, was attacked by the natives in the most daring manner, although the boarding nettings were up and every preparation made to repel them.

Caught at one of his old haunts in the Pelew Islands, he was heavily ironed and put on board the cruiser Hernandez Pizarro, for conveyance to Manila, to await trial.

He hunts buffalo, drives mules, sees his mother in San Francisco, plays Richard III in Hong Kong, listens to a Yoghi in Singapore, tries to write his life in the Pelew Islands, confesses in Mexico, hides in Cuba, runs a saloon in Texas.
