Please excuse a slight diversion from Mark Twain but this topic was suggested to me by Mark (see chapters 5 and 6 from Following the Equator). Mark Twain was rather annoyed by this fellow but I was intrigued and I produced a video of Captain Wawn's first voyage as a "Blackbird" - sailing the South Pacific "recruiting" islanders to work in the sugar cane fields of Queensland, Australia. http://bscottholmes.com/content/william-t-wawns-first-voyage-aboard-schooner-stanley Twain took the side of the missionary but it seems the issue was far more complex than he was aware of. Thanks
