Finau 'Ulukalala is not content until he can remove all his rivals in Vava'u. He does so when he calls a fono at Makave, only to use the opportunity to capture and destroy anyone who would be a threat to his rule. Eighteen Vava'u warriors were executed, including the great Vava'u warrior chiefs Kakahu, Naufahu and Pupunu, who chose to be drowned in leaky canoes. Mariner inherits the plantation Matato'a and he goes on an expedition to procure whale teeth from a beached whale while recounting a similar incident in Ha'apai. A ship arrives in Vava'u and Mariner is suddenly presented with an opportunity to return back to England.
