Our love to you, the Great Chief of Sydney, the servant of Queen Victoria, and we earnestly pray you to protect us, and to protect our Missionaries and the Worship of God in our land, the land of Tanna. We weep for our Missionaries. They three gave us medicine in our sickness, and clothing for our bodies; taught us what is good conduct, and taught us the way to Heaven. Of all these things long ago we had no knowledge whatever; therefore we weep, and our hearts cling to these three, our Missionaries. If they three are not here, who will teach us the way to Heaven? Who will prevent our bad conduct? Who will protect us from the bad conduct of foreigners? And who will love us, and teach us all good things? Oh, compassionate us, Chief of Sydney! Hold fast these three, our Missionaries, and give them back to us, and we will love you and your people. You and your people know the Word of Jehovah; you are going on the path to Heaven; you all love the Word of Jehovah. Oh, look in mercy on us, dark-hearted men, going to the bad land, to the great eternal fire, just like our fathers who are dead! May Jehovah make your heart and the hearts of your people sweet towards us, to compassionate us, and to look in mercy on our dark land; and we will pray Jehovah to make you good, and give you a rich reward. The names of us, the Chiefs of Tanna, who worship towards Jehovah:— Yarisi, x his mark. Ruawa, x his mark. Kapuka, x his mark. Taura, x his mark. Faimungo, x his mark. Manuman, x his mark. Nuara, x his mark. Nebusak, x his mark. Kaua, x his mark. Nowar, x his mark. APPENDIX B. NOTES ON THE NEW HEBRIDES _By the Editor._ The SOUTH SEAS—so named by Vasco Nugnez de Balboa, who in 1513 first saw the Ocean on the other side of Darien, and marched into it as far as he durst, waving his sword, and taking possession of it in name of his master, the King of Spain. The PACIFIC OCEAN—so named by Ferdinand Magellan, who in 1521 sailed westwards in his _Victory_ seven thousand miles, and found the sea exceptionally _peaceful_—for that trip at least.
