He afterwards repeated this statement to the King, limiting the time of the priests' stay to two or three months. The King saw through this artifice, and doubting whether the priests would learn much of Tonguese in so short a time, asked in reply, " If they were to go away in two or three months, why cannot you as well take them away in the ship that brought them ?" On being pressed to consent, the King said, " It is not my mind that they should stay. " Unwilling to give up his scheme for the r...eligious improvement of Vavau, the bishop once more urged the King to take time, to consult the Missionaries, and then to give his answer. But King George saw no need for study or for consultation, and an emphatic " No " settled the question. The bishop then bowed to the King, who was sitting on his mat, shook hands with him and with Queen Charlotte, and took his leave, Mr. Thomas suggested, that he shoidd go to some island as yet unvisited by Christian teachers ; and he took care to say, that the Methodists had taken Missionary possession of Fiji, Navigators' Islands, Keppel's and Boscawen's Islands, and of Niua Poou : adding, that Rotumah and Wallis's Island were not forgotten by them.
