 Pacific Islands to 1875 by Sanderson Beck
Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and most of the islands of the south Pacific developed their own isolated cultures and native beliefs but were not much affected by literate civilization until the arrival of sailing vessels in the 16th century.
By mid-century 37% of the arable land on the island was cultivated.
Cook tried to interact with the natives without injuring them, but in the early encounters ten Maoris were killed; he called them "a brave, warlike people with sentiments void of treachery."4 Cook's estimate of 100,000 Maoris has been accepted as probable by recent scholars.

 Captain James Cook - Overview
At the age of 39, Cook was virtually unknown to his countrymen.
In marked contrast to Commodore John Byron and Captain Samuel Wallis, the aristocratic leaders of England's earlier voyages of Pacific exploration, Cook sprang from the lower ranks of society, was haphazardly educated and had not even spent his whole career in the Royal Navy: His training had been in the merchant marine.
More than once he had earned praise from the highest levels of the Navy for his surveying work and superb seamanship, and the Lords of the Admiralty reasoned that the talents that had been so valuable in the Newfoundland enterprise would be equally useful in the uncharted waters of the South Pacific.

The southern shore of the island is narrowly fringed by a reef: if the engraver had carried this reef entirely round both islands, this figure would have served (by leaving out in imagination the barrier-reef) as a good specimen of an abruptly-sided island, surrounded by a reef of the fringing class.
The great arm of the sea thus included, is from ten to twenty-five fathoms deep, with a sandy bottom; but towards the southern end, where the reef is further from the shore, the depth gradually increases to forty, and in some parts to more than sixty fathoms.
The height and width of these islands is known; and I have attempted to represent the form of the land from the shading of the hills in the large published charts.

And to the Arangi, this hot-white tropic morning, Jerry went on the whaleboat under the arm of his Mister Haggin, while on the beach Biddy moaned her woe, and Michael, not sophisticated, barked the eternal challenge of youth to the Unknown.
In the beche-de- mer that was current among the fls of a thousand islands and ten thousand dialects, the Arangi's procession of passengers assured her of her fate.
