    The Silent Cannon of Takapoto
    ( 1994-01-01) Roggeveen, Leendart

    In RNJ 8:79-80 I related Gerard Boon's story about the cannon found on the island Takapoto in the Tuamotus which could conceivably be cannon from the Africaensche Galey. The Africaensche Galey was the smallest of the three ships with which Jacob Roggeveen set out on his voyage in search of the unknown Southland. After the discovery of Easter Island I on Easter Sunday April 5, 1722 he sailed on westwards and on May 19 the Galey struck a reef to the east of Takapoto atoll where it sank.

    Ship's Surgeon R. Guthrie's Account of a Calling at Rapanui aboard H.M.S. Seringapatam on 6 March 1830
    ( 1994-01-01) Fischer, Steven R.

    The following passage was inadvertently truncated from RNJ 8(3):65, immediately following the paragraph ending: "...We got on board at Sunset, hoisted the boats, weighed the Anchor, and made Sail." The footnotes to the truncated text are in RNJ 8(3):66.
