Being the Third of…" is a historical account written in the early 19th century, detailing the explorations of Captain James Cook. This volume captures the events and interactions during Cook's third voyage, particularly his experiences at the Sandwich Islands, including descriptions of local customs and the relationships formed with native chiefs and their people. The opening of this volume presents Captain Cook's return to Karakakooa Bay, showcasing a vast gathering of native islanders who exhibit both joy and apprehension at the presence of the explorers. It describes various interactions, including the power dynamics at play among the local chiefs and their subjects, the ceremonial customs associated with hospitality, and Cook’s efforts to establish rapport with the natives, while also ensuring the safety and order of his crew amidst growing tensions. These early passages lay the groundwork for the complexity of cross-cultural exchanges that will unfold throughout the voyage, ultimately foreshadowing future conflicts.
