In dull light just before sunrise they were seen by the watch and some men then came on board pretending to trade. Fighting broke out as the islanders on board grappled with seamen and those in the water attempted to drag the boat inshore and capsize it. Not deterred by the first musket shots, the islanders wounded two sailors before fleeing through the mangroves pursued by shot from a pound howitzer. News of the encounter spread quickly among the coastal villagers, and men at Brierly Island tried to tell the crew on the Rattlesnake that someone at Pana Tinani had been killed.

Not having heard of the fighting at Pana Tinani, the British sailors did not understand the strange pantomime, but they did agree to a request to demonstrate the power of their guns by shooting some birds.

Later, when the Bramble reported the clash, her crewmen were unable to say how many of their attackers had been wounded or killed by gun fire, but as they had moved along the coast of Pana Tinani men on shore had followed them brandishing their spears and shouting challenges.

From the s foreigners and conflict were more frequent in the Louisiades. Many of them left no records of their voyages but the lists of the crewmen who died showed the variety of representatives from the family of man to pass through the Archipelago. New Guinea saltwater men from other areas survived long canoe drifts, wrecks or massacres to live in the Louisiades.

The Solomon Island crew on the Retrieve killed their officers, burnt the boat and, taking Snider rifles with them, settled on Brooker Island where they became men of eminence.

From until Catholic missionaries worked on Woodlark Island. At first valued as a source of trade goods, the missionaries were unable to convince the Woodlark Islanders that their explanation of the world was either. For much of their time on Woodlark the missionaries were involved in an unproductive contest with the islanders, and when the missionaries left the islanders could believe that they had won.

Chalmers made his last visit to Suau in , but several teachers, sustained by periodic visits from mission boats, became influential in the Milne Bay area where they helped interpret the outside world to the islanders. By at the latest Louisiade Islanders had encountered the missionaries at Wari. It was an oversight. The ceremonies of were not followed by an increase in the number of government officers in the Archipelago; but other events had already occurred which greatly increased the turmoil in the area.

In January labour recruiters from Queensland entered the Louisiades. The crew of the Lizzie seized some Sudest men while they were asleep onshore and confined them in the hold until they were at sea, but most recruits were duped not kidnapped.

Many from Pana Tinani and Sudest went out to the recruiting boats with food expecting to be able to trade and were tempted to leave their canoes.

Tagalita of Sudest and five others took fish out to the Lizzie and after receiving knives, tobacco and calico, all except one agreed to go and work for three months to earn more trade goods. At sea many learnt for the first time that they would be away for three years; they had little idea of the work expected of them on the canefields until they were in Queensland.

Later in the Sybil and the Heath were unable to get recruits in Sudest waters, probably because stories had spread of men being tricked and forced to go aboard earlier boats and because those men who were thought to be going away for only two or three months had not returned. The Commissioners having decided that the recruits were taken by deceit and violence, men were returned to south-eastern New Guinea in June and July of At six landing places in Sudest seventy-one men and thirteen bundles of trade to compensate the relatives of dead labourers were put ashore; at all places except one the villagers would have nothing to do with those who returned their country men.

Another twenty men were landed at Pana Tinani, and a few others were taken to Panaeate, Misima and to islets near Sudest and in the Calvados Chain.

In another group returned in the Truganini. You come in the boat you get them. His relatives greeted him with demonstrations of affection. The crew of the Truganini passed among friendly people to picnic in a landscape of many greens.

A year after the first recruits returned Captain T. The degree of turbulence was soon known widely: a few days after Mullins wrote his report, Captain J. Craig and his crew of three Europeans and five Malays were murdered and his pearling boat, the Emily, was looted by Pana Tinani and Sudest Islanders. It was the seventeenth incident in ten years in which foreigners had been killed in south-east New Guinea.

Some of the attacks may have been made by men who had been ill-treated by labour recruiters, or by the relatives of men who had not returned, or by men confident that they now had the knowledge and power to defeat the traders. But many conflicts arose from particular disputes between islanders and traders.

At Panaeate in the people said they had killed Frank Gerret because he had beaten a man to death, and Kasawai of Pana Tinani claimed that Craig was killed after promising rifles to two men and then supplying only one. A Cooktown pearler, J. Robinson, working in the area thought that Craig had been attacked by men who believed that they had been underpaid; and Nimoa Islanders said that Godaw villagers of Pana Tinani stole a woman from Ewia village and gave her to Craig.

Becoming afraid that the Ewia would attack them when the Emily left, the Godaw asked for the woman to be returned. Craig refused and they killed him and his crew to forestall Ewia reprisals. On his second visit Forbes decided that the story about the rifles was the most probable. The Craig case showed that while local people were likely to have specific grievances, foreigners were unlikely to know much about them. Within two years the miners were leaving Cooktown for Sudest taking with them their prejudices, their skills and a way of life.

Unlike most other white Australians the Cooktown miners had already lived in a community where white men were in a minority. Established in to serve the Palmer goldfields, Cooktown was the port of entry for the 17, Chinese on the field by By the late s the prosperity of Cooktown businessmen depended on the Chinese staying in the area: the business men opposed restricting Chinese immigration and spoke of the virtues of the Asiatic diggers.
