Notes

1 . The class of stupid, ignorant people.

2 . For Cook’s actual Journal entry see J.C. Beaglehole, ed., 1969. The Voyage of the Resolution and Adventure 1772-1775 (Cambridge: The University Press for the Hakluyt Society), pp. 292-293.

3 . But Sahlins also explains that the authorship of this account might have been mistakenly attributed to Endicott:

It could be that Endicott indeed did not see the event, insofar as he may well not be the author of the contested text. The original of that text, reprinted and signed by Endicott as an appendix to his book, is an article that appeared in The Danvers Courier newspaper on 16 August 1845, under the byline “By an Eye Witness”. The Peabody Museum, where the article is archived, apparently attributes it to a different member of the Glide ’s crew, Henry Fowler (of Danvers) with whose papers it is included (Fowler, PMB 225). Indeed, a simple “F” is inscribed at the bottom of the original newspaper article (Sahlins 2003: 3, n.3) But whether Endicott or Fowler provided the actual account, it is confirmed by numerous other contemporary records.
