Tin* Tonga Islands, situatesl in the
•Stu(h Pacific Ocean, are known to navi
gators as forming a portion of that
group denominated the Friendly Islands.
Vavaoo was under the government ol
a tyrannical chief named Omao, who
so oppress I the people that they wen-
driven to the last extreme of an en
durance.
Finally a revolt Was organized by
vnennis <>t’ which the people dt-tcriiiiiu-d
to overthrow tbe tyrant, and free them-
-elves, it necessary, from the rule of tin-
king himself, unless lie should have more
rnoffinnhlo considerations for their do-
ineslic peai’e and coinfort.
The principal mover in the insurrec
tion was a chief of high standing, but
tilt- conspiracy was discovered and its
projector liet rayed. Ho was tried by
order of tin- King, found guilty, ami tin-
penalty of dentil pronounced, not only
upon himself, l»ut also upon Ids whole
