Chapter 27. Marnoo

From the text:

Marnoo encourages the Typee to resist the French.

Falling back into an attitude of lofty command, he exhorted the Typees to resist these encroachments;
reminding them, with a fierce glance of exultation, that as yet the terror of their name had preserved them from attack; and with a scornful sneer, he sketched in ironical terms the wondrous intrepidity of the French, who, with five war-canoes and hundreds of men, had not dared to assail the naked warriors of their valley.
