Tongan

Two months before my visit Ratu Lala had lost his eldest daughter (by his Tongan wife).

And with the new agreement between England and Germany the last prop to Tongan independence had been cut away.

The faces of the king's suite were all familiar, for they had been my own colleagues when I was a Tongan like themselves.

It was clear that it had come from another part of the Pacific, for the Tongan celts are wedge-shaped, angular, and roughly made.

Someone had given him a Hebrew book to look at, and in one page he had found no less than six Tongan words.
