| 520 | _a"Concerning 'Bully' Hayes" by Louis Becke is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It explores the life and exploits of Captain William Henry Hayes, a notorious figure in the Pacific during the 1860s and 1870s, who was known for his controversial methods in trading and the recruitment of labor. The book provides a vivid portrayal of the colorful and often morally ambiguous world of the South Seas during this period, depicting Hayes's interactions with the local populations and other traders. The narrative delves into the multifaceted character of Bully Hayes, illustrating his charm, recklessness, and cunning as he navigates complex relationships with both traders and native communities. Through a series of engaging anecdotes and personal experiences, the author recounts Hayes's journeys across the Pacific, his dealings in the labor trade, particularly involving the capture and transportation of islanders, and his notorious reputation as a sort of pirate. The story paints a picture of a man both reviled and admired, showcasing the broader themes of colonialism and the exploitation that characterized many encounters during this era. The reader gains insight into the dynamics of power, culture, and survival in the tumultuous waters of the Pacific during Hayes's rough and adventurous lifetime.
