Hot Tropics | <strong>Prototropic</strong> 0.1 / Lindsea Kemp Wilbur 35 while working as a surveyor for the Royal Navy: “On the first day of December [1778] ... he recognized that he was raising the greatest of all the islands he had discovered: what the natives appeared to call, and Cook wrote, “Owhyhee.” By the next morning they were close in to the spectacular shore of massive cliffs, spines of land piercing into headlands, white streaks of great waterfalls tumbling into the white surf, more rivers emerging from deep valleys. Once inland, they saw ravines with thundering torrents, a landscape of mixed barrenness and fruitfulness, a pocked landscape rising slowly and then higher and higher to the summits that were snow-capped. Snow in the tropics! Another new discovery, another new paradox. Here, it seemed, was another rich land, and far greater in extent than even Tahiti. Through a telescope, thousands of natives could be seen pouring from their dwellings and their places of work, and streaming towards the cliff tops to stare out and hold aloft white strips of cloth as if greeting a new messiah 1 . Let me tell you a little something. When the ancient Hawaiians saw James Cook on the ‘HMS Endeavor’ pulling into Kealakekua Bay, they hailed him as the lost god of war and wordplay, ‘Lono’. This god, according to legend, sailed away from Hawai’i into the blue Pacific, a horizon as distant as the cosmos, wracked by self hatred for killing his wife. The comparison to the god probably rang true to Captain Cook, a man high as a damn kite off his own thrusts into the wild unknown. Tales tell of opportunistic sailors spreading venereal diseases and feasting on pig until one of them died. The Hawaiians, realizing the mortality of the white man, knew the jig was up. History neglects to tell us of the mystical, perhaps Cook, channeling powers stronger than himself, had kava-induced visions of the future he was creating, of Waikiki’s high rises and luxury hotels, of the Hawaiian Dream and where exactly it would go. Of your ass on a jet plane cushion. We’ll never know. The spear entered his pearly flesh, and writ in history it appears as just another embarrassing mistake made by an ego-tripping business man. Meanwhile, driven by trade and economy, 1. Richard Hough, ‘The Last Voyage of Captain Cook’
