| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "A lady's cruise in a French man-of-war" by C. F. Gordon Cumming is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. It follows a British gentlewoman who joins a French naval vessel carrying the Bishop of Samoa through the South Pacific, recording shipboard life and visits to islands such as Fiji, Tonga, Vavau, Samoa, and Tahiti. The work blends vivid landscape sketching with observations on missions, indigenous customs, archaeology, and the geopolitics of colonial powers.<br/><br/>The opening of the book recounts how the narrator is unexpectedly invited to cruise aboard the Seignelay and decides to leave Fiji with flexible plans, writing first in letter form. Reaching Tonga, she stays with French Sisters at Maofanga, contrasts Catholic and Wesleyan efforts, attends elaborate services, and describes Tongan homes, strict dress fines, ancient royal tombs at Mua, and the great Haamonga trilithon; she also notes a formal shipboard dinner with King George Tupou. Sailing on to Vavau, she enjoys orange-groves, helps a young Wesleyan missionary couple when the ship’s doctor intervenes, rides to panoramic viewpoints, and explores magnificent coral caves—including the famed “lover’s cave” of local legend. At sea she sketches the easy camaraderie aboard, the bishop’s informal Sunday “conference,” and wide-ranging conversations. She then offers secondhand but detailed notes on the Wallis Isles and Fotuna, the hot-spring isles of Sunday and Tanna, and the enigmatic stone colossi of Easter Island, where the narrative breaks off mid-description.
