	Cook Islands and the Blackbirders
		By the time the Trujillo returned with a number of Rakahangans and took off the shipwrecked crews, the Manihiki people had been forbidden to leave the atoll by the ariki and not one to be induced to go on board this or any of the later recruiting ships.
		Consequently, the tally of Manihiki islanders to leave for Peru was therefore nil and it must be emphasized that there is no doubt on this point.
		The large number was due in the main to the efforts of a resident beachcomber, Paddy Cooney, who acted as recruiter, coupled with generous presents to the ariki, and eight fathoms of cloth to the relatives and friends of each recruit.
