==24 February 1840 — Note from Father Jean-Baptiste Petit-Jean to Father Jean-Claude Colin on the copy of a letter of John Joseph Therry to Jules Dumont d’Urville, commander of the Astrolabe==

''Translated by Fr Brian Quin SM, April 2010''

Paper with a watermark “T Edmonds 1837”,<ref>Thomas Edmonds was a prominent paper manufacturer who operated the historic Rye Mill in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, during the early 19th century.</ref> a big sheet forming four pages, of which two are written on, the third remaining clear of writing and the fourth bearing the address. The note in Father Petit-Jean’s handwriting, written on the second page, after the English text of the letter, explains why this letter was sent to Father Colin. This document is accompanied by a page, made of “Bath” blue paper, the French version of the Therry letter, the text of which will be given below after the English text. For the date of the document, that of Therry’s letter has been taken. The author John Joseph Therry, a priest of Irish birth, carried out ministry in Australia from 1830 (cf O’Brien p22); the addressee, Jules Dumont d’Urville, a French navigator, undertook a voyage of exploration on the ''Astrolabe'' in 1826-27, calling at Port Jackson (Sydney) from 2nd till 19th December 1826 before going on the New Zealand. In September 1837 he undertook a second great voyage on the ''Astrolabe'', accompanied by the ''Zelée'', visiting the west coast of Australia in February-April 1839, calling at Hobart in December 1839, and after a return to the coast of Antarctica in February 1840, sailing on to New Zealand the following month and finally returning to Toulon on 6th September 1840 (cf Dunmore, vol 2, p; 180-184, 224, 342-343, 370-381).

;[2]:Sir,
:It gives me great pleasure to observe that the French Nation, distinguished as it has been during so many ages by the cultivation of science, arts and arms, is now rendering herself much more distinguished by directing her best energies not only to the extension of the boundaries of secular science, but to diffuse far and wide the light of the Gospel, to teach the science of salvation to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death [cf Luke 1:79]. A more favourable opportunity than that which France has now embraced, for an efficient exercise of the energies of a great nation in so glorious a cause never before occurred. To improve the temporal condition and facilitate the eternal salvation of myriads of the human race, who otherwise would die in ignorance, sin and misery, is an object by the attainment of which France will attain more real glory than by a thousand victories. I am ambitious to have the honour to give some better proof than mere words of the interest I feel in this great undertaking and therefore respectfully beg permission to offer as a free gift for ever to any Trustees that may be selected by the proper Authorities twenty acres of land situate near the mouth of the only fine river in Cumberland, New South Wales, within twenty-five miles of Sydney by land, within three hours sail from it by water, and in a very fine harbour, fourteen miles north of Port Jackson, as a site for a college to provide permanently for the civilisation and conversion of the inhabitants of the various islands of the Southern Ocean, and one hundred pounds sterling as my subscription towards its erection. Should my humble offer be accepted, I would beg permission to suggest that four clergymen of the Order of Jesus, attended by some lay Brothers with books and philosophical instruments should be sent as soon as possible from France, who it is probably would soon be joined by other members of that most illustrious Order from England. I would presume to suggest also as an economical, if not a necessary precaution, that they should be accompanied by mechanics and labourers with tools, timber, cement, glass, and all other portable materials for a large building. Our excellent Bishop, the V(ery) Rev(erend) D(octo)r Polding would, I am convinced, use all his influence in forwarding the interests of such an establishment. Her Majesty’s Government, being now, thank Heaven, exceedingly liberal, would not in my opinion refuse its countenance and support.
:::::I have the honour to be, sir,
:::::Your most ob(edien)t humble servant,
:::::::(Signed) John Joseph Therry V(icar) G(eneral)

(Then follows the French version, in Poupinel’s handwriting, that accompanies the preceding letter.)

''29 November 1843, on board the Bucéphale''

:My Reverend Father,

;[1]: You will have learned from Monsignor d’Amata [+Douarre] the details of our navigation since the Marquesas and of our happy arrival at Tonga. Permit me also to set before you some reflections which I have made on the state of the mission and on the measures to be taken to ensure its success.

:We had occasion, my dear Father, to be greatly edified at the sight of the two missionaries of Tonga. One cannot imagine a greater spirit of poverty, humility, detachment, and charity than that of which we were witnesses in seeing these two good Fathers and their Brother Attale. It is impossible that the good God should not bless the work of such holy priests.

:Thus they have accomplished more than one might have hoped, given their destitution. The mission promises much, and the visit we have made—by dispelling many prejudices—will contribute, I hope, to hasten the work of God.

:But what caused me distress, my dear Father, was the state of weakness in which I found Father Grange and Chevron and the poor Brother Attale. God has preserved their lives as if by miracle, but their weakness is so great that, humanly speaking, it is much to be feared that their lives will be greatly shortened or that they will become entirely incapable of fulfilling their duties.

:This weakness comes only from lack of nourishment; having nothing with which to procure it, they have had to abandon themselves for this to the discretion of the natives, who scarcely think of their own needs.

:However, my dear Father, what will become of the mission without missionaries? What will the newcomers do without the older ones to teach them the language and guide them? I believe that the work was not established from the beginning as it ought to have been.

:The first thing to be done, it seems to me, when placing missionaries on an island, is to settle them, to procure for them suitable land for cultivation, and to give them the necessary provisions until they can support themselves by their labour.

:In these regions money is nothing, but one can obtain whatever one wants with spades, shovels, picks, and tools; the land is fertile, and poultry and livestock multiply very well. Missionaries living on their own and independently would not be any less respected, and would have no less opportunity to render service to the natives, to instruct them, and to form them.

:One would confidently request reinforcements from Europe if one had the means to provide for the needs of the missionaries, and establishments could be founded and developed.

:These views are entirely those of Monsignor d’Amata. I believe they are also yours. It appears, however, that Monsignor Pompallier had not viewed things in the same way, for Father Chevron has only followed his instructions to the letter in living as he has done.

:It is for you, my dear Father, to judge and to give your children your orders and your counsel. You know that they are ready for anything and that they are in no way attached to their own ideas. I do not yet know what Father Bataillon thinks; I shall try to speak with him and give you an account.

;[2]:A word on supplies. — Wine in bottles, in small cases of 12 or 15 bottles, so as to make distribution easier; barrels of flour well packed; seeds in bottles in small assorted boxes so that each may make trials.

:Small pharmacies, especially remedies against venereal diseases and wounds: calomel and some notes from a good doctor on how to apply them; blue stone for the eyes, opium for colic, etc. It would be very useful if each missionary had his own small pharmacy, or at least if there were one in each mission.

:The natives are extremely pleased with the care taken of their health, and when one does not succeed, they never attribute the fault to the doctor.

:Small missionary outfits: cassocks without openings and trousers of light fabrics such as cross-woven merino or lasting; linen stockings and shoes—ankle boots are much used.

:It would be desirable that these shipments be made in an orderly manner and that the objects intended for each missionary be placed in a separate box addressed to him. Otherwise, what confusion on board when sorting must be done! One would have to suppose captains and sailors with the patience of saints to avoid disputes.

:What confusion also for the missionaries, who do not know where to store or how to carry what is given to them.

:(They inform me that we are in sight of Wallis. Allow me to go and see this land of our desires. I shall try to resume my letter in a few days.)

;[3]: Wallis, 8 December. Monsignor Bataillon was consecrated on 3 December. He is keeping me with him. I have found him to hold exactly the same views as those which I have set before you.

:I am happy to find myself with so good and holy a prelate, although I keenly regret Monsignor d’Amata, who had for me all the affection of a father.

:The mission of Wallis is going well. Only the young chief Tangahala causes much concern to Monsignor.<ref>Despite the protection that Tuugahala gave to Bataillon in the early days of the mission and his assistance in instructing catechumens, the young chief later came to feel that the Catholic religion did not suit his passions.</ref> Please pray and have prayers offered for his conversion. He has not yet been baptized, although he loves religion and has thus far supported it, often with ill-regulated zeal.

:I hope to send you shortly some details concerning the life of Father Chanel in the missions. I have strongly urged Monsignor Bataillon to write down what he knows; I think that he will do so.<ref>Editorial footnote: unfortunately, we do not have his holy relics; they were all taken to New Zealand. A church was built at Futuna on the site of his hut, at the very place of his martyrdom.</ref>

:Forgive, my Reverend Father, my haste. Since I have been at Wallis, I have not had time to breathe. I have had to assist Monsignor in his correspondence and to take care of the moving and arranging. So many things to do in so little time!

:Pray, my Reverend Father, for me, whom the good God has not judged worthy to be sent to a more perilous mission, but who would work wherever it pleases Him with all his heart for His glory and for the service of the Most Holy Virgin.

;[4]: I have the honour to be, with the most profound respect,
:::my Reverend Father,

::::your very devoted and affectionate child

:''J(esu)s M(ary) J(oseph)''
:Bay of Islands, 25 November 1843

:Dear Father,

;[1]: A short note in haste, to inform you that I am not yet dead, and that I do not forget you. I have received the little note from Father Bataillon, now bishop. It is Father Viard who must have played this trick of making him cross the seas uselessly. You annotate this note, it is true, but in so laconic a manner that there is little to enjoy.

:I must therefore take my revenge and be even shorter than you today. Another time <ref>Editorial addition: “je vous” inserted in the manuscript.</ref> I shall be long—very long—and more interesting than in the past. Since I have converted you, I shall no longer insist so much on moral reflections, but rather on facts, details, and circumstances; that will then be practical.

;[2]: I have something to complain about. For a long time I have been asking you for spectacles, and you have not sent me any, whether through forgetfulness or because you think my eyesight has become excellent in New Zealand. I have none left, and I confess that this does not help me to get through the difficult situations, which are not rare.

:At last, one must live on hope. I think that this time you will not forget me, and that you will send me three pairs as I asked. It is No. 10 that I need. I would like the lenses to be blue and the frame strong.

:Reverend Father Forest has just made a suggestion to me. He tells me to ask for a silver frame and several lenses fitted to the frame. I believe that this method would be better and more economical. Iron frames soon break, eaten away by rust, from which they cannot be protected in this very humid country where we are so often on the water—whether sea, rivers, lakes, or marshes.

:You will do as you wish. I shall receive either one or the other with pleasure.

;[3]:Pray for me, please. I have received the letter from Mademoiselle Monavon. Continue to recommend me to her prayers.

;[4]:Present my respects to the Reverend Fathers Director, Girard, Dupont, Lagnet, Dubreuil, Barjot, Favre, Guttin, Mayet, Crouzet, George, Miot, Balmé, Déclat, Jalon, Umbert, and to all our other dear fathers and brothers. <ref>Pierre Colin (Director), Claude Girard, Charles Dupont, Benoît Lagnet, Antoine Dubreul (Dubreuille), François Barjot, Julien Favre, Anthelme-François Guttin, Gabriel-Claude Mayet, Jean Creuzet (Crouzet), Guillaume George, Jean-Marie Millot (Miot), Jean-Jacques Balmet (Balmé), Étienne Déclas (Déclat), Antoine Jallon (Jalon), Jean-Marie Humbert (Umbert). Most were or became Marist fathers; Jean Creuzet left the novitiate in 1841 to support his mother but remained attached to the Marists and later entered the Third Order of Mary (1850).</ref>

:''J(esu)s M(ary) J(oseph)''
:Bay of Islands, 25 November 1843

:Dear Father,

;[1]: A short note in haste, to inform you that I am not yet dead, and that I do not forget you. I have received the little note from Father Bataillon, now bishop. It is Father Viard who must have played this trick of making him cross the seas uselessly. You annotate this note, it is true, but in so laconic a manner that there is little to enjoy.

:I must therefore take my revenge and be even shorter than you today. Another time <ref>Editorial addition: “je vous” inserted in the manuscript.</ref> I shall be long—very long—and more interesting than in the past. Since I have converted you, I shall no longer insist so much on moral reflections, but rather on facts, details, and circumstances; that will then be practical.

;[2]: I have something to complain about. For a long time I have been asking you for spectacles, and you have not sent me any, whether through forgetfulness or because you think my eyesight has become excellent in New Zealand. I have none left, and I confess that this does not help me to get through the difficult situations, which are not rare.

:At last, one must live on hope. I think that this time you will not forget me, and that you will send me three pairs as I asked. It is No. 10 that I need. I would like the lenses to be blue and the frame strong.

:Reverend Father Forest has just made a suggestion to me. He tells me to ask for a silver frame and several lenses fitted to the frame. I believe that this method would be better and more economical. Iron frames soon break, eaten away by rust, from which they cannot be protected in this very humid country where we are so often on the water—whether sea, rivers, lakes, or marshes.

:You will do as you wish. I shall receive either one or the other with pleasure.

;[3]:Pray for me, please. I have received the letter from Mademoiselle Monavon. Continue to recommend me to her prayers.

;[4]:Present my respects to the Reverend Fathers Director, Girard, Dupont, Lagnet, Dubreuil, Barjot, Favre, Guttin, Mayet, Crouzet, George, Miot, Balmé, Déclat, Jalon, Umbert, and to all our other dear fathers and brothers. <ref>Pierre Colin (Director), Claude Girard, Charles Dupont, Benoît Lagnet, Antoine Dubreul (Dubreuille), François Barjot, Julien Favre, Anthelme-François Guttin, Gabriel-Claude Mayet, Jean Creuzet (Crouzet), Guillaume George, Jean-Marie Millot (Miot), Jean-Jacques Balmet (Balmé), Étienne Déclas (Déclat), Antoine Jallon (Jalon), Jean-Marie Humbert (Umbert). Most were or became Marist fathers; Jean Creuzet left the novitiate in 1841 to support his mother but remained attached to the Marists and later entered the Third Order of Mary (1850).</ref>

---

;[5]: I have the honour to be, with the most profound respect,
my Reverend Father,

::your very humble
:::and very obedient servant,

::::''Comte''
::::Marist

==25 November 1843 - Father Jérôme Grange to Father Colin(only), Tonga ==

===Summary===

''Complains about Colin’s lack of response to about 50 pages of letters Grange has sent him. Makes a desperate appeal to the Marist administration for financial help – only the visit of the naval ship carrying Bishop Douarre has saved them.''

== Text ==

''Tonga Tabou, 25 November 1843''

:My very Reverend Father,

;[1]: I have time only to say a few words to you. I have written to you since my arrival in Oceania at least fifty pages of letters, and I have not yet received a single word in reply. I do not understand why.

;[2]: I have been at the last extremity five or six times. Nevertheless, I am still half alive. Let us give thanks for the final effects of Providence. If Father Chevron, Brother Attale, and I are still alive, it is remarkable; for a long time I have had no shoes.

''Tonga Tabou, 25 November 1843''

:My very Reverend Father,

;[1]: I have time only to say a few words to you. I have written to you since my arrival in Oceania at least fifty pages of letters, and I have not yet received a single word in reply. I do not understand why.

;[2]: I have been at the last extremity five or six times. Nevertheless, I am still half alive. Let us give thanks for the final effects of Providence. If Father Chevron, Brother Attale, and I are still alive, it is remarkable; for a long time I have had no shoes. I still cover myself with some rags of cassock—and how could it be otherwise, when all the letters of those who administer the mission repeat only these words: money, and nothing but money?

;[1] 12 October: Stay in Paris. The ship ''Dauphine''<ref> Later ''Delphine'' - translator’s note</ref> on which the Bishop [Pompallier] had booked his passage was due to sail on the 25th. At that time the loading had not been completed. Fathers Chanel and Bataillon and Brother Marie-Nizier were sent to Le Havre on the 27th to make some purchases.
;[2] November 11: Departure from Paris.
;[3]12: Arrival at Rouen. Visits to churches. Accommodated at the major seminary. The Bishop pays a visit to the Cardinal Prince of Crois. Departure for Le Havre. Father Servant and Brother Michel stay in Rouen.
;[4] 13: Arrive at Le Havre. Stay with Madame Dodard. Guests: Bishop Pompallier and his group, 3 Picpus missionaries and one Brother, one Jesuit, Father Ladavière.
;[5] 14: Arrival of Father Servant and Brother Michel, and of Bishop Blanc, Bishop of New Orleans; also staying at Madame Dodard’s with some Jesuits.
;[6] 15: Rain, hail, lightning, thunder.
;[7] 16-17: Rain.
;[8] 18: Heavy sea. In the evening: hail, lightning, thunder. M Franque has written to the Bank of Paris to exchange our French money for Spanish gold coins.
;[9] 19: Bad night. Wind, lightning, thunder, hail, storm. Bishop Pompallier and Bishop Blanc ask all the priests to say a prayer at Holy Mass up to the time of departure.
;[10] 20: Fine weather.
;[11] 21: Fair wind. The ''Josephine'' which is to carry Bishop Blanc to New Orleans must set sail tomorrow. In the evening, the wind becomes adverse.
;[12] 22: Our ship the ''Delphine'' is loaded. It changes its dock. We must leave tomorrow at 9am.
;[13] 23: Adverse wind. Heavy sea. No departure.
;[14] 29: Storm. The docks overflow at [high] tide. A few days earlier, at the time of full moon, Le Havre would have been flooded.
;[15] 30: Same weather. The Bishop gets us to begin a novena of Masses to prepare us for the feast of the Immaculate Conception and to obtain good weather.
;[16] December: The weather will be better, we hope.
;[17] 2: The wind drops. Rain. Bad weather till 15th. All the ships which left have come back or put into port elsewhere. Some are lost. During that time, the parish priest of New Orleans was kind enough to give us some English lessons. He has 14 pupils: Jesuits, Marists, Picpus. Father Servant is studying Spanish.
;[18] 15: Better wind. Several ships leave. Bishop Blanc and his missionaries go on board to leave; they come back.
;[19] 16: The wind has dropped again.
;[20] 17: Bad weather.
;[21] 18: The missionaries’ benefactress, Madame Dodard, is dangerously ill; we are afraid that God is granting her prayer. For a long time she has been asking Him to die when the house is full of missionaries. Bishop Pompallier administers it.<ref>Viaticum - translator’s note</ref> All the missionaries accompany the Holy Viaticum in surplices, a candle in their hands. Madame Dodard receives Holy Communion with the joy of a woman predestined.
;[22] 21: 10 o'clock in the evening. The Bishop gives Extreme Unction to Madame Dodard.
;[23] 22: Better weather. Bishop Blanc was to leave. He is too late. The tide drops; the docks are shut.
;[24] 23: At nine o'clock in the morning we were to leave. The wind became adverse. At midday, better. In the evening, good.
;[25] 24: Snowing, freezing. The wind is North East, the one we have been waiting for for two months. Our captain has warned us of departure. At 9am we go on board; Bishop Blanc similarly. The two ships touch, you could stretch a hand from one to the other. At 11 a.m. the ''Delphine'' and the ''Josephine'' leave the harbour. At midday we are in the roadstead. The pilots and the others who had come to accompany us, leave. On leaving the roadstead, seasickness. The Bishop, Father Chanel and Brother Joseph took the greatest time to recover. Before nightfall, the ''Josephine'' is no longer in sight. The other ships have gone past us.
;[26] 25: People on board the ship: 1 captain, 2 officers, 1 mate,<ref>''maître d’équipage''</ref> 1 chief steward, 1 cook, 8 seamen, 2 beginners, 1 ship’s boy, 14 passengers, i.e. 8 Marists, 4 Picpus, 1 businessman, and 1 young man who has left Customs.<ref>''sorti de la douane''</ref> I don't think you could find on the ship a better set of crewmen. At the time this diary entry is being written, we know the seamen best. They have all promised to observe their Easter duties (with the exception of the officers and two passengers) and seem to be really attached to us. The ''Industrie'', a ship which left Le Havre before us, is overtaken. Some people already are turning up for meals, recovered from seasickness. We are sailing along the English coast. At 3pm we are opposite the ''Lisard''. <ref>sic – Lizard</ref> Within 27 hours we are leaving the Channel, which Captain Rouger has not done before. <ref>Father Bret seems to be thinking of the speed of the journey so far - translator’s note</ref>
;[27] 26: The wind is strong, the sea rough, but we are making good progress. At eight in the evening, an order for a lamp to be put on the bridge to avoid colliding with a brig.
;[28] 27: Some hailstones, and the days beforehand.
;[29] 28: Already it is warmer than in France. In the evening we all go up to the bridge to enjoy a spring evening. The night is fine, phosphorescent. The porpoises leap around the ship which seems to be on fire. The breeze plays in the ropes in the moonlight. We are making good progress.
;[30] 29: Some drops of rain. Good speed: three leagues an hour. <ref>about 8 knots – 15 km - translator’s note</ref>
;[31] 31: The wind has changed. A gust of wind, that on land we call a tempest. We are, however, doing three leagues<ref>about 8 knots</ref> an hour.
===1837===
;[32] 1 January: The tempest lasts still. During the night the ship was very restless. The sea was rough. At 4am all sails were reefed. Only one is left unreefed to hold the ship [on course]. It is carried along by the wind. At five o'clock a lantern is asked for on the bridge. None too soon! We were bearing down on a ship, and we were nearly hitting it [''nous brisions'']. Fortunately we were able to get out of danger. 11am -- the wind fell and we made good progress. The Bishop was still in bed. He received a letter from the mate in the name of all the seamen -- good wishes for a happy New Year, and a good voyage. The Bishop thanked them with a New Year's gift. Evening -- calm. No wind. The night was peaceful. The ship, not making any progress, was tossed about by the sea which had become rough during the tempest. The groaning of the masts, the continual motion which made everything roll around the cabin, were harder to put up with than the tempest.
;[33] 2: Calm. The captain was worried the whole night. In the morning, his worries grew even more. An accident that happened to our rudder forced us to look for a harbour. When we left the docks at Le Havre, the harbour master had hung an ''amarre'' (a thick rope) from one side of the dock to the other to stop the ships from all leaving together. This amarre was found to be stuck between the rudder and the stern of the ship. As we were unaware of what was preventing us from leaving, we used all possible force to free ourselves, and once we were free, no one was concerned to find out if any harm had been done. However of the four tenons which secured the rudder to the ship, two were broken and a third badly damaged. This was observed only today, when the Captain saw that two tenons were missing, and the third had dropped. There remained only one, the rudder was secured to prevent it going into the sea. An extra one was made in case of its being lost. We are steering towards the Canary Islands to put into a port. We are about 80 leagues<ref>about 400 km</ref> from land. In the evening, one of the officers thought he sighted the peaks of Tenerife; it was a cloud. At that time the wind changed, became quite contrary. We were obliged to tack.
;[34] 3: At midnight, flat calm until 9am. At nine, a contrary wind, we tack. An English ship goes past beside us, salutes us by raising a flag; we do the same. Rain.
;[35] 4: Rain. Evening -- rain, lightning, thunder. Contrary wind. We tack.
;[36] 5: Slow progress. At 9am the clouds obscure the sun. We raise a distress flag in sight of an English steamship; it replies by raising a flag, but goes its way without approaching us. We are approximately 64 leagues<ref>320 km</ref> from Tenerife where we have to find a harbour.
;[37] 6: In the morning, land is seen to the southeast. We were steering towards this island. As it is not Tenerife, we turn to the South West. At 10am the chains are taken out of the hold to lower the anchor. The peak appears to the south, another to the southeast. The islands which the captain did not know are the ''Salvages'', inhabited, three in number, which are kept above sea level by rocks against which ships are driven by the currents. They could extend over 10 leagues. <ref>50 km</ref> The captain still doesn't know where Tenerife is. At midday it is seen. We are 35 leagues<ref>175 km</ref> from the island. At five o’clock we catch sight of the peak to the southwest.
;[38] 7: Everyone gets up in the morning to see the sunrise. It is hidden in the clouds. The peak is lost in the clouds. We are 10 leagues<ref>50 km</ref> from the island. Flat calm. At 1pm we were doing roughly half a league<ref>about 3 km</ref> per hour. A schooner approaches. We go to it, hoisting a flag. We ask through a megaphone for a pilot to guide us. A canoe is put into the sea. The master of the schooner, a native of Lanzarote (Canaries) trading between these islands, comes on board our ship. We are still four leagues<ref>20 km</ref> from the tip of the island. Santa Cruz, where the harbour is, is five leagues<ref>25 km</ref>from this point. During the night we round this cape. On the coast, fires and fishing boats can be seen.
;[39] 8: We are, finally, a quarter of a league<ref>about a kilometre</ref> off Santa Cruz. The Blessed Virgin has protected us. For eight days we had had calms, or bad weather or contrary winds, were able at any minute to lose our rudder and remained exposed to all the dangers which could come from those things. From seeing the concern and gloominess which held sway on the faces of our officers, we had everything to fear. During these last eight days we had done barely 100 leagues,<ref>500 km</ref> and during the first eight days after leaving Le Havre, we had gone past Madeira. The calm weather not allowing us to enter the roadstead yet, Holy Mass was said on board for the first time since our departure. The Bishop said it, all received Communion. 9 am, the anchor was lowered. At midday, the health enquiry group arrived; the interviews done, we were allowed to go on shore. The French Consul was waiting for the Bishop on the mole; he took the Bishop to the Governor at his house. At the house of the naval commandant, the Bishop asked to visit the church. The Consul went with the Bishop. There was an attentiveness, and affability about him… He was quite French!
;[40] 9: The Consul came on board to pay the Bishop a visit. The Bishop, accompanied by all the priests, went to the church, at the door of which the clergy were waiting for him. The Bishop said Holy Mass, the other priests as well. During this time the organ was played. Return on board; lunch; then a tour around the island. 8pm -- a French frigate anchored next to the ''Delphine''.
;[41] 10: Mass on land. The frigate ''Venus'', 60 guns, having arrived yesterday, greets the town with a 21 gun salute. It was answered from the forts. 9.30 our anchor chain breaks -- we lose our anchor; if not for the haste and quick reaction of the officer of the watch, the ship would have collided with an American brig. Quickly another anchor was thrown down. We come back on board in a rough sea. 2pm -- a Spanish Brig has anchored in the roadstead -- it has lost a mast. 3pm -- the ''Venus'' gets underway; an hour later we lose sight of it; it is going to make a voyage round the world, to go as far north as ''Kamchatka''. 6pm -- the breeze freshened.
;[42] 11: Rough sea. Our dismounted rudder in a bad state, a new one is being made. At 2pm the English steamship to which we had made a distress signal, moored in the roadstead for six days to take on coal and repair some damage, ups anchor, fires two cannon shots and leaves for ''Bombay''. 3pm -- our dinghy, tied to the ship, comes loose, breaks its bow, is carried away by the waves, swelled by the wind. It is saved by the American brig, our neighbour. After dinner, [as] ever since we have been in the roadstead, we sing the litanies of the Blessed Virgin on the bridge. Still a rough sea. 10pm -- the wind stronger. Our anchor chain, too taut, unwinds with a crash after having broken the iron clips which held it in place. We thought it was broken; everyone rushed to the bridge, there were shouts, the officers were called. In the disorder people did not know where to run. We were driven on to the American brig which did not want to move away; but seeing itself near to being dismasted, it let out a bit more anchor chain. (General commotion at the time of the event.) Until 3am the wind was in fury. The alarm at night, a rough sea, a violent north-easter, an enormous anchor chain resounding and holding the leaping ship, a nasty hen which squawked at the ringing sound of the chain, some cats yowling at the coming of storm, all made for an awful night. On land, the wind was stronger. The captain, who was in the hotel, was like a cat on hot bricks, hardly had day broken when he was on the mole to see whether the ''Delphine'' had sailed away, sunk, or had been driven onto the coast.
;[43] 12: Several people slept well in spite of the storm. The construction of the rudder needs at least eight more days in the rainy season. It is to be feared that the roadstead is unsafe. The Bishop is looking for accommodation on land. Lunch on board. Everyone goes ashore, except a Picpus priest and a Brother. We are in the [8] dinghy, ready to get onto the jetty. One of the Picpus priests, who had been frightened by the crossing from the ship to the land, jumped from the dinghy, missed the ladder and fell into the sea; he was soon pulled out, and goes and gently asks permission to download the few things that we want to bring ashore. We are settled into a huge room furnished with chairs and two tables. The Bishop receives a visit from the<ref>''vicaire'' -- curate or, more likely, Vicar General - translator’s note</ref> (a judge in a church court). In the morning, the ex-governor of the island of Palma had brought the Bishop a letter from the Cathedral chapter of ''Laguna'', a service town in the area where we were.<ref>''ville de services dans la position où nous sommes. ‘Ville de services’'' might also be ‘ a military base’? - translator’s note</ref> As we have brought nothing from the ship, the Brothers go off to get provisions. There we begin to live like missionaries: after prayers, we lie down on the floor, wrapped up in our blankets. The Bishop is on a sorry looking mattress which the owner of the house has brought.
;[44] 13: The Bishop pays a visit to the Vicar [general?] of the town, and makes a reply to the chapter of ''Laguna''. We are sent provisions from the ship. The sea today is as flat as ice. A search for the anchor is going on. We visit the forts on the sea coast. Another anchor has been found, but not that of the ship.
;[45] 14: After Mass, the Bishop, accompanied by the Garrison Chaplain and two missionaries, goes to ''Laguna'', two short leagues<ref>''à deux petites lieues''</ref> from ''Santa Cruz'', to see the Bishop of Tenerife. The Bishop had already left to forestall Bishop [Pompallier] but by another route. On his arrival, Bishop Pompallier received at the good wishes of the Chapter, then came the Bishop who gave Bishop Pompallier all faculties and at the same time offered him accommodation which he refused.
;[46] 15: Sunday. Some of us went to the High Mass and found the church almost empty. In this entirely Catholic country, people are far from being present at religious duties as in the country we have left.
;[47] 16: Our sailors come and visit the Bishop [Pompallier]. Our anchor has been recovered: the dinghy is being repaired.
;[48] 17: One of the Picpus men, getting down from the ship into the dinghy, and leaning against the ship, pushes the rowing boat away and falls into the sea. He is immediately pulled out by the sailors.
;[49] 18: The Bishop goes on board. At this time the Archdeacon and a Chaplain arrive from ''Laguna''. Immediately someone goes to fetch the Bishop.
;[50]:Tenerife. NB. What we did not see ourselves we have learned from informed people who seem to speak from first hand knowledge.
;[51]:Tenerife! -- one of the inhabited Canary Islands. <ref>The islands got the name from the number of large dogs -- ''canis'' in Latin -- which used to be seen there -- translator’s note</ref> They are seven in number, divided into two dioceses (-- in Spanish – Tenerife, Hierro, Gomera, La Palama) (Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura). Tenerife, to the north west of Gran Canaria, about 66 leagues [330 km] around, with a population estimated at 100,000 to 120,000 souls; some towns of 10,000 to 12,000 souls, such as ''Santa Cruz, Laguna, Orotava''. Situated near the torrid zone<ref>The islands are between 27° and 29° North latitude, so just north of the Tropic of Cancer -- translator’s note</ref>the Canaries enjoy the advantages of that climate. Alongside our European produce all tropical fruits are found: orange trees, lemon trees, banana palms, palm trees, sugarcane, Indian figs which feed the cochineal [insects] raised in these islands etc, etc. The land provides the inhabitants with all they need for food. The wind and fruit there are delicious. On the island of Tenerife is found the famous Peak, the highest point in Africa [sic - but mistaken. Teide volcano is 3718m,<ref>Mt Cook in NZ is 3760m - but Kilimanjaro in East Africa is c. 5860m - translator’s note</ref> it serves as a landmark for mariners who can see it from 50 or 60 leagues<ref>250 to 300 km</ref> when it is not lost in the clouds. It is in the interior of the island, about 10 or 12 leagues from the edge of the sea. Some people say it can still be seen smoking, others, no. Whatever be the truth of that, this land is volcanic. We walk at each step on the scoria<ref>''pierres calcinés''</ref> and ash which give it fertility. We were not able to visit the interior of the island which is said to be enchanted. (Le Tasse in his ''Jérusalem delivrée''<ref> ‘Jerusalem set free’</ref> made of it his enchanted palace). We only saw the bad side of the island, arid, burnt by the sun with an horizon marked by the rocks<ref>''mornes'' -- rocks? </ref> which border the coast and stretch inland. These rocks look like pyramids piled one on top of another. There the winter is only the rainy season; when the clouds are over our heads, the rainbow hourly gilds the mountains. A colony of the Spanish, Tenerife as well as the rest of the Canaries is not, like the mother country, prey to the horrors of anarchy and civil war. <ref>During much of the 19th-century Spanish history was dominated by struggles between liberals -- in the Enlightenment tradition -- and traditionalists, and there were frequent persecutions of the Church --translator’s note</ref> It has followed the lead<ref>''mouvement''</ref> given. The convents are closed, the monks driven out of the country are secularised, the constitution of 1812 proclaimed<ref>it strongly reflected French revolutionary thinking --translator’s note</ref> but here everything up to now has gone calmly. The Governor seems to be a fine man. The police are tough; people cannot leave or come back into the town when the set time has passed. To question the regulations would be risky for the one who tried to do so. Our Captain, who wanted to go back on shore at 6 pm, had a rifle pointed at him.
;[52]: ''Santa Cruz'', a port of call for ships, is at the inner end of a roadstead sheltered from winds from the north and the west. Nevertheless it has its dangers. Three or four forts defend the town with a Garrison of about 100 men. Their dress is not very regular, their music still in its infancy, organised only for a year; their drums not very resonant and even more poorly looked after. The town rises like an amphitheatre facing the roadstead; its streets are regular, clean, well paved, with footpaths. The houses are all built roughly according to the same plan: a big reception room between two smaller rooms opening onto an interior covered gallery which surrounds the courtyard. The vegetation is so vigorous that grass grows between the paving stones. You walk on lawn beside the paving stones of the footpaths. We are in the month of January and it is not colder than the month of June in France. No harmful animals on the island. The camel, the horse and the donkey are the domestic animals used for transport; no vehicles, we have seen only one. The camel, as dirty and thin as it is docile, comes from ''Lanzarote'' where it breeds; it can carry 10 to 12 quintals.<ref>Collins’ dictionary defines a quintal as: 1) 100 pounds; 2) 100 kg. I think the first is more likely in this case -- translator’s note</ref> The horse, which is smaller than in France, with its spindly legs wonderfully serves the horseman travelling across the dangerous rocks. You have to know it is surefooted to risk travelling like that. There as elsewhere the donkey awaits patiently from its master, who thrashes it with blows from a stick, the meagre ration which suffices it to live. On the roadstead big fish play in the waves, leaping over the waves without harming the fishermen. The people are good, docile and gentle like the climate they live in. Never any murders, never any robberies. You can travel alone covered in gold, in greatest safety, from one end of the island to another. There you have ''Santa Cruz'', and Tenerife, such as they have been described to us, such as we have seen them with our own eyes. What a pity that there is a down side to all that: these people -- so gentle -- are poor, miserable, accustomed from childhood to hold out their hands. Beggarliness is there, I believe, with all its vices except theft. It was pitiable to see us surrounded, pursued by men, women, children, covered in rags, beside us a half naked woman, her two children who make you lower your eyes, a Negro whose speech alone makes him seem to be human, a big young man not wearing even a loincloth steering a small craft, men in shirts as black as the lava of their extinguished volcanoes going from one island to another in boats loaded with marrows, wood for barrels, give us an idea of what waits for us among savage peoples deprived of the blessings of religion and civilisation. ''Santa Cruz'' especially offers the disgusting sight of this poverty and laziness. It is the refuge of a vagabond people who want to live without working. Fortunately the Spaniard, the inhabitant of these islands, is abstemious. These vagabond beggars live like the savages of the South Seas. Little fish roasted on charcoal, no bread, that is their food. When evening comes, then the nonchalant Islander, lying on the pavement, plucks the guitar which he accompanies with a song as monotonous as the instrument he makes vibrate with his fingers; the rocks against which the sea breaks are covered with these miserable people.
;[53]:In the streets one meets only ordinary women,<ref>''des femmes du peuple''</ref> having on their heads a veil which is draped over the shoulders and gathered on their breast. On top of this veil, a man's hat. These veils are often in rags like the rest [of their clothing]. The gentlewomen<ref>''les dames''</ref> leave their homes only to go to church. Their hair is done up, without a hat; veiled, but without a hat, holding a fan in their hands. The sex in general shows little modesty. In the evening you meet some women dressed more appropriately, but there are offhand manners show up clearly enough these unfortunate women who destroy themselves in destroying others. They are only too numerous in ''Santa Cruz'', open as it is to all the foreigners who bring in their vicious habits there. Most of the men wear cloaks as for winter. At table, you see you are not in a French environment; there are different dishes, different ways of eating. Undiluted wine during the meal, pure water during dessert etc, are not according to our customs. The currency is Spanish, but there is no agreement as to how to count it. It is not uncommon to see the locals in a predicament, the way the foreigner manages it. The churches are beautiful, rich. The most beautiful in Spain is on the ''Grande Canarie'',<ref>''Gran Canaria''</ref> the island 12 leagues<ref>60 km</ref> from Tenerife. ''Laguna'', a town two leagues<ref>10 km</ref> from ''Santa Cruz'', is the residence of the Bishop, the first in this newly created see. Of French descent through his mother, the Bishop cultivates letters, he speaks French quite well, is familiar with our country's literature. A quite cordial goodness and affability distinguish him. A talented man, he is surrounded by ecclesiastical servants. The rector of the faculties of theology and law is worthy of the position he occupies. The priests are more respected here than in France, but our liturgies are more moving, our faithful more recollected, our churches more frequented. From Lyons to Tenerife we have still not found the city of martyrs. <ref>he seems to mean a place where the Catholic faith is really taken seriously -- translator’s note</ref> In this entirely Catholic country abstinence is observed only on the Fridays of Lent and Holy Week. Instructions are rarely given, no catechism classes, no public first Communion. How much good a mission would do there. ...

==24 November 1843 - Father Joseph Chevron to Father Jean-Claude Colin, Tonga==

===Summary===

''Informs Colin of arrival of Bishop Guillaume Douarre, en route for Wallis as co-adjutor to Bataillon. The arrival of the French naval vessel carrying Douarre, and the goodness of the captain and crew have had a remarkable effect on the Tongans, turning them much more favourably to the Catholic Church. The material needs of the Tongan mission are very great: a list is given.''

=== Editorial Note ===
Letter written on “Bath” paper, folded to form four pages, of which two are written, the third blank, and the fourth containing only the address and Poupinel’s annotation. In the register of letters (ED 2), it bore number 34.

:J(esu)s M(ary) J(oseph)
:Tonga, 24 November 1843

:My very Reverend Father,

;[1]:The ''Bucéphale'', a French government vessel, has just brought us Monsignor d’Amata.<ref>'''Guillaume Douarre''', titular Bishop of Amata, en route to Wallis. On 8 September 1842, the day of his religious profession, he received from Jean-Claude Colin the papal bulls appointing him bishop and coadjutor to Pierre Bataillon, who was himself appointed apostolic vicar of Central Oceania (titular Bishop of Enos). Douarre was consecrated at Lyon on 18 October 1842 and departed Toulon on 4 May 1843 aboard the ''Uranie'' with Fathers Charles-Eugène Mathieu, Gilbert Roudaire, and Pierre Rougeyron; Brothers Blaise Marmoiton and Jean Taragnat; and seminarian Isidore Grézel. After stops in the Marquesas, they left Nuku Hiva on 1 November 1843 aboard the ''Bucéphale'', arriving at Tongatapu on 22 November 1843.</ref> In a few moments it will depart again; nevertheless I should consider myself at fault if I did not say a word to you.

:The mission is absolutely in the state which my last letter indicated to you. Only, the good seems to be strengthening from day to day. The arrival of the government vessel, the kindness of the commander<ref>'''Julien-Laferrière''', lieutenant of the navy, commander of the French warship ''Bucéphale''.</ref> and of the officers, produces a wonderful effect. The arrival of Monsignor greatly stirs the Protestant and unbelieving natives. '
:Our task, I think, will be 'to uproot and to destroy'; others will come to complete and to 'build and plant'.<ref>Biblical allusion to '''Jeremiah 1:10''': ''“I have set thee this day over the nations… to root out and to pull down, and to destroy… to build and to plant.”''</ref> In any case, our mission here will soon be finished, I hope. The paths into which we have been thrown by circumstances—which it would be too long to recall here, but which I believe I made known to you in my letter of last June or July—these paths are not naturally sustainable. I am even astonished that we are still at our post. God be blessed, and His holy Mother. This mission here is especially hers; otherwise it would be a mission without a shepherd. Pray for us, my Reverend Father, and pray much.

:I hear it said here that money is being requested in France; I do not know the mission of New Zealand, but for the mission here, one may say: here, furniture is useless; many tools—that is the principal thing—especially spades, good axes, saws, plane irons, chisels, and other similar objects; then also a pharmacy—I wish I could write this word in very large letters; without remedies among Protestants, there is no mission. Thus the mission will receive a severe blow from the lack of medicines. Calomel must hold first place because of the innumerable ulcers with which the natives are covered.

;[2]:A well-equipped sacristy, pictures, and a chapel well adorned with fine ornaments would produce a wonderful effect. I believe that efforts are made here to make us sweat under the weight of our cassocks; we have also lacked shoes.

:I am obliged to finish here abruptly in order to be able to send greetings to my relatives. My respects and affection to our dear confrères.

;[3]:
:Receive the assurance of the profound respect with which I have the honour to be, my very Reverend Father,
::your most obedient son,

:J(esu)s M(ary) J(oseph)
:Tonga, 24 November 1843

:My very Reverend Father,

;[1]:The ''Bucéphale'', a French government vessel, has just brought us Monsignor d’Amata.<ref>'''Guillaume Douarre''', titular Bishop of Amata, en route to Wallis. On 8 September 1842, the day of his religious profession, he received from Jean-Claude Colin the papal bulls appointing him bishop and coadjutor to Pierre Bataillon, who was himself appointed apostolic vicar of Central Oceania (titular Bishop of Enos). Douarre was consecrated at Lyon on 18 October 1842 and departed Toulon on 4 May 1843 aboard the ''Uranie'' with Fathers Charles-Eugène Mathieu, Gilbert Roudaire, and Pierre Rougeyron; Brothers Blaise Marmoiton and Jean Taragnat; and seminarian Isidore Grézel. After stops in the Marquesas, they left Nuku Hiva on 1 November 1843 aboard the ''Bucéphale'', arriving at Tongatapu on 22 November 1843.</ref> In a few moments it will depart again; nevertheless I should consider myself at fault if I did not say a word to you.

:The mission is absolutely in the state which my last letter indicated to you. Only, the good seems to be strengthening from day to day. The arrival of the government vessel, the kindness of the commander<ref>'''Julien-Laferrière''', lieutenant of the navy, commander of the French warship ''Bucéphale''.</ref> and of the officers, produces a wonderful effect. The arrival of Monsignor greatly stirs the Protestant and unbelieving natives. '
:Our task, I think, will be 'to uproot and to destroy'; others will come to complete and to 'build and plant'.<ref>Biblical allusion to '''Jeremiah 1:10''': ''“I have set thee this day over the nations… to root out and to pull down, and to destroy… to build and to plant.”''</ref> In any case, our mission here will soon be finished, I hope. The paths into which we have been thrown by circumstances—which it would be too long to recall here, but which I believe I made known to you in my letter of last June or July—these paths are not naturally sustainable. I am even astonished that we are still at our post. God be blessed, and His holy Mother. This mission here is especially hers; otherwise it would be a mission without a shepherd. Pray for us, my Reverend Father, and pray much.

:I hear it said here that money is being requested in France; I do not know the mission of New Zealand, but for the mission here, one may say: here, furniture is useless; many tools—that is the principal thing—especially spades, good axes, saws, plane irons, chisels, and other similar objects; then also a pharmacy—I wish I could write this word in very large letters; without remedies among Protestants, there is no mission. Thus the mission will receive a severe blow from the lack of medicines. Calomel must hold first place because of the innumerable ulcers with which the natives are covered.

;[2]:A well-equipped sacristy, pictures, and a chapel well adorned with fine ornaments would produce a wonderful effect. I believe that efforts are made here to make us sweat under the weight of our cassocks; we have also lacked shoes.

:I am obliged to finish here abruptly in order to be able to send greetings to my relatives. My respects and affection to our dear confrères.

;[3]:
:Receive the assurance of the profound respect with which I have the honour to be, my very Reverend Father,
::your most obedient son,

::::J(oseph) Chevron

Two sheets forming eight written pages. The annotation of Poupinel is on the eighth page; an annotation in an unknown hand appears at the top of the first page.

* [Top of p.1, unknown hand:] 18/2/46
* [p.8, Poupinel:] ''Central Oceania – Wallis, 18 February 1846 – account of the acts of the administration of Monsignor Bataillon''

== Text ==

''Brief account of the administration of the Vicariate of Central Oceania, of its past actions, its present state, its hopes and plans for the future, to which are attached several official documents, notably: “Pastoral instruction and mandate of the Bishop of Belley for Lent 1837,” “...1838,” “...1839,” “...1840,” “...1841,” “...1842,” “...1843,” “...1844,” “...1845.”''

== 1° Past actions ==

;[1]: On 1 December 1843, arrival of the ''Bucéphale'', leaving three missionaries<ref>Fathers Charles Eugène Mathieu and Gilbert Roudaire, and the seminarian Isidore Grézel.</ref> with their equipment and a set of equipment for the new bishop. It brought no food provisions, except a small quantity of supplies<ref>Author’s marginal note: he had left part of it at Tonga where he had stopped on his way here.</ref>, of which Monsignor d’Amata<ref>Guillaume Douarre, titular Bishop of Amata.</ref> took one portion for Futuna and another for New Caledonia, as well as all the objects he had brought for himself and the missionaries accompanying him, and a sum of about 15,000 francs.

:Monsignor d’Enos<ref>Pierre Bataillon, titular Bishop of Enos.</ref> received 30,000 francs by this vessel. He entrusted 10,000 to its captain to be deposited at Valparaíso in the hands of the Reverend Father Doumaire<ref>Probably Father Antoine Doumer, superior of the Picpus missionary house at Valparaíso; in 1848 he would be named coadjutor bishop of Florentin-Étienne Jaussen.</ref>, who was asked to use it for the purchase of flour, biscuit, wine, ovens, which he would send at the first opportunity.

;[2]:May 1844, arrival of the ''Adolphe'' with Father Calinon<ref>Accompanied by Fathers Jean-Baptiste Bréhéret and Jean-Victor Favier, and brothers Annet Pérol and Jean Raynaud.</ref>, etc. The vessel brought the printing press, tools, and hardware purchased by Bishop d’Amata, and only four sacks of flour. The portions for the various missions were made according to the number of missionaries, their neophytes, and the needs of the mission. That belonging to Bishop d’Amata was set aside and kept by Father Roudaire, to whom he himself had entrusted its care and custody.

:Monsignor d’Enos chartered the ''Adolphe'', which agreed to transport him to Futuna, Tonga, and Fiji. He did not intend to go to New Caledonia, having no food provisions to bring to Bishop d’Amata, and the captain refusing to consent to that voyage.

:His Lordship found the fathers of Futuna and Tonga in a tolerable condition as regards lodging and food. He left Father Calinon in Tonga, himself intending to establish his residence there as soon as the state of Wallis would permit.

:There arose there a question: whether it was advisable for missionaries to purchase from the natives the food and objects they might need. After hearing and discussing the arguments for and against, the Bishop left the fathers of Tonga entirely free in this matter.

:He expressed great difficulties in his voyage to Fiji and left the fathers at Namouka only with their consent and at their request.

;[3]:On 17 May 1845, arrival of the brig ''Elizabeth'' with Father Junillon<ref>Accompanied by Louis-Théodore Violette and the brothers Charles Aubert and Jacques Peloux.</ref>. Receipt of a letter from France announcing that the procurator’s commissions had not yet been carried out, having only recently become known through the ''Bucéphale''.
:The ''Elizabeth'' brought supplies of flour, wine, printed cottons, blouses, and some axes. All these items had been taken at Valparaíso in consequence of the commission and funds entrusted earlier to Father Doumaire.

:Father Junillon delivered about 12,000 francs. This was the first time that there was a means of relieving the missionaries. But the captain of the ''Elizabeth'' absolutely refused any service in this regard, whatever sum might be offered to him.

:Father Junillon had left 20,000 francs at Valparaíso.

;[4]: On 17 June 1845, arrival of the ''Rhin''.

:It had visited Tonga, where it left three sacks of flour and seven cases of wine, also from Valparaíso. It worked at Wallis on completing a small schooner which Monsignor had acquired, and left two sailors to man it.

:It could not visit Fiji. Its instructions directed it toward New Caledonia. Passing through Futuna, it delivered wine, flour, clothing for the missionaries, and their share of the common goods that had arrived the previous month.

:Father Roudaire was charged with loading aboard this vessel all the goods of Bishop d’Amata, which he had himself kept since their arrival at Wallis, from which he took some items for the mission of the Navigator Islands that he was about to found, and for the small schooner that was to transport him there, presuming thereby the intentions of His Lordship.

:Monsignor d’Enos also took the liberty of retaining for some time a monstrance and a set of Stations of the Cross belonging to his coadjutor, and wrote to him, at the same time sending him a bill of 25,000 francs on Sydney, brought by Father Junillon.

:The ''Rhin'' deposited in New Caledonia an ample supply of flour and wine from Valparaíso, as well as the goods embarked at Wallis. But the letter and the bill were lost on board; it was believed they had not been sent. It was only in Sydney that the commander found them and delivered them to Father Dubreuil.

;[5]: On 14 August, Father Roudaire and others departed on the schooner, which had only been completed at that time, with provisions taken from what had been brought by Father Junillon and the ''Rhin''.

:Father Roudaire went to this mission (Samoa, the Navigator Islands) only by his own choice. Full and entire liberty had been left to him by Monsignor d’Enos to go to New Caledonia before the arrival of the ''Rhin'' and during its stay at Wallis, but he preferred of his own accord to sacrifice his personal attachments and devote himself to the urgent mission of the Navigators.

;[6]:On 20 October 1845, the schooner, which had arrived eight days earlier from the Navigator Islands, set out again with Father Mathieu to visit the other missions.

:He found Futuna in abundance, the missionaries perfectly housed and fed, and considering themselves happy in their situation.

:From there he went to Fiji, where he found the fathers having suffered much from persecutions but having nevertheless been able to secure very suitable lodging. He left them flour, wine, salted meat, biscuit, clothing, church ornaments, fabrics, and numerous goods for the natives. The plantations of their catechists were beginning to bear fruit.

:Father Roulleaux, who had suffered most from scarcity, refused to consider purchasing from the natives under any circumstances. Father Mathieu tried to moderate his zeal on this point.

:At Tonga he found the missionaries suitably housed and fed, having not only the resources of the country but also plantations producing European vegetables such as potatoes, cabbages, carrots, turnips, and peas in good quantity and quality. They still had many provisions received from the ''Rhin''.

:He left them additional supplies and money (600–800 francs). Father Chevron, who had full liberty to purchase food from the natives, had not yet needed to do so, though he expected to in the future when travelling in areas without established missions.

:Father Calinon left for Sydney shortly after the visit of the ''Rhin''.

;[7]: On 14 December 1845, arrival of the small schooner at Wallis. It was exchanged for another larger, more suitable and more solid vessel which Providence had brought there. Preparations were immediately made for its departure for Sydney with Father Junillon.

;[8]: On 13 February 1846, arrival of Fathers Calinon and Dubreuil aboard a schooner chartered by them at Sydney. They had carried to New Caledonia a considerable consignment for Bishop d’Amata and found him and the missionaries in a very comfortable condition.

:They also visited Tonga, where they left a large share of the supplies they brought.

:At Wallis, part of these goods was set aside to be sent immediately to the Navigator Islands.

:A sum of 5,000 francs was delivered by Father Dubreuil; 1,000 francs was sent to the Navigators.

== 2° Present state of the mission ==

:Total funds placed at the disposal of Monsignor d’Enos: **47,000 francs**

:Works completed:

:* At Wallis: two large churches, two suitable presbyteries, a printing house which has already produced five works for the neophytes (two syllabaries, a prayer book, a catechism, and a Stations of the Cross).
:* At Futuna: two churches and two presbyteries with gardens.
:* At Tonga: two churches and a very suitable presbytery.
:* At Fiji: a proper house with enclosure.

:Additional:

:* Mission visited twice in two years and supplied via Valparaíso.
:* A schooner of 60 tons acquired and maintained for six months.
:* No debts; about 6,000 francs remaining.

== 3° Plans and hopes for the future ==

;[10]: 1° Establishment of a college or house of catechists at Wallis, where a large tract of land is available.

;[11]: 2° The establishment of a house of the Society of Mary, of which it alone shall have the ownership and the direction.

:The apostolic vicar regards this project as useful to the mission and capable of being carried out. He proposes to contribute to it with all his power and to procure for the Society a suitable piece of land for this purpose, and to ensure its possession as far as possible among these peoples.

:The limits of a property cannot yet be traced in an exact manner in this country. It would even be to the disadvantage of the possessor if they were so traced. The plantations, according to the nature of the land and its produce, having to be moved, without this, from one place to another.

:Strict contracts are not yet in use in the country and would be of a nature to arouse suspicions extremely disadvantageous to the one who would attempt to make them and to the whole mission. Mutual concessions are made ''ex aequo et bono''.

:There is no doubt that so long as religion reigns in the country the missionaries will in no way be disturbed in the possession of a piece of land which shall have been granted to them, with or without conditions.

:The surest way to gain a footing among this people and to possess, in good harmony with them, a portion of land is to conform oneself to their usages in this matter. Time and the use of the acquired property will confirm ownership by a sort of prescription extremely strong and valid.

;[12]:3° The regular visitation of all the missions at least once each year and frequent correspondence with the procure at Sydney and from there with France. Correspondence of such a nature as to improve the situation of the missionaries in every respect.

:The visitation shall be carried out alternately by the apostolic vicar and the provincial or by one of their delegates.

;[Author’s marginal note]: The mission schooner will be at Sydney every year in the month of December or thereabouts.

;[13]:As for guaranteeing the missionaries, deposited for the first time in an island, against difficulties and privations, and assuring them immediately the ownership of a house and land, Monsignor thinks that this is entirely impossible and, generally speaking, impracticable.

:He proposes to soften these first trials by all the means that will be in his power, leaving them provisions, clothing, objects of exchange, as much as he will be able to procure them and as they will have need of them, and to conciliate for them the protection and affection of the chiefs.

:But he thinks that an immediate purchase of a house and land, or a strict agreement to provide food supplies, would, in most cases, by its mere proposal either prevent the establishment or at least hinder its later success, and that it would have no real beneficial effect, even for the material well-being of the missionaries.

:Providence and sufferings have appeared to him up to the present the only open door by which to introduce the faith into the islands at first, and afterwards to form there durable and comfortable establishments.
