    “At the age of thirteen, living at Wapping, he joined the privateer and whaler Port-au-Prince, about to sail to the Pacific Ocean. After an adventurous voyage the ship arrived at the Tonga (or Friendly) Islands in poor condition, hoping to carry out repairs. The crew met with a hostile reception and many of them were massacred. Mariner, however, was taken under the protection of the principal chief, Finau Ulukalala, who bestowed on him the name of one of his deceased sons, Toki Ukamea, and appointed one of his wives to be Mariner’s adopted mother. Mariner’s residence in Tonga, mainly on the island of Vava’u, lasted for four years. During this time he became thoroughly conversant with the language and customs of this Polynesian people and he was on friendly terms with many of the chiefs, especially with Finau’s son and successor. Using the guns from the Port-au-Prince, and helped by his surviving companions, he took a full and often decisive part in his protector’s warlike campaigns against other islands. Eventually times became more peaceful and Toki attained the status of a chief, living on his own cultivated plantations. When, towards the end of 1810, the brig Favourite, under Captain Fisk, from Port Jackson, arrived in Tongan waters Mariner, now nineteen, went aboard and worked his passage to Macao in China.” - DNB. The Tongan dictionary is extensive, being of 211 pages although unpaginated. This is the first important grammar and vocabulary of Tongan.
