one o'clock
Swine are abundant and cattle rapidly increasing . Poultry of all kinds is very plentiful , and fish are taken in abundance . The beneficent effects of missionary labours are very evident amongst the Samoans ; they are not now subject to wars , and for crimes they have punishment . Their habits are regular ; they rise with the sun , and after a meal , bathe and oil themselves , and then go to their occupations for the day ; they eat at one o'clock , and again at eight , retiring to rest about nine . The men do all the hard work , even to cookery . The women are held in much consideration , and are treated with great kindness and attention . They take care of the house and children , prepare the food for cooking , and manufacture the mats , etcetera .
