AN UNUSUALLY SMALL VANUATU 'BALL HEADED' CLUB NEW HEBRIDES, VANUATU, NORTHERN MALEKULA, 19TH CENTURY Fine glossy patina, old wear from use, modern stand 63cm long Provenance: Ex Danish collection Ex Private collection During the 19th century the Islanders of the New Hebrides suffered extreme abuse at the hands of whalers and other traders and they became known for their hostility. Their most famous victim was the Reverend John Williams, a Welsh Methodist missionary, 'The Martyr of Erromanga' who was killed in 1839, and ever after commemorated in a 'Baxter' print. Despite this, although inter-tribal warfare was frequent on the Islands it took the form of ambushes and local skirmishes and there were few fatalities. A carved wood club such as this was the most favoured weapon.

AN 19TH CENTURY TRIBAL FISHING HOOK INLAID WITH MOTHER OF PEARL, PROBABLY SOUTH SEA ISLANDS6cm x 3.5cmCollected by Captain James Muddle.James Muddle was born at Gillingham in Kent on 31 January 1785. James probably went to sea at a fairly young age and worked his way up to become a master mariner. The first record of him at sea, at the age of 25, is as the master of the small single mast sloop Boston sailing in coastal waters.

The Lloyd's Register for 1820 also recorded that during that year James took over from as master of the 410 ton convict ship Lord Sidmouth.

After a voyage of 107 days, they arrived at Sydney in Australia on 19 February 1821, where 160 male prisoners were disembarked. James and the Lord Sidmouth also sailed to Jakarta, Calcutta, Mauritius. Upon arriving back to England in 1821, James became captain of the prison ship the ‘Andromeda’, which sailed from Leith to to Van Diemans Land and New South Wales. During the following two decades of travels in and around Australia, James will have collected many of the items in the collection.
