Prose Suggestions

[edit]

Please note that all of these are suggestions, and can be implemented or ignored at your discretion.

  • He sold his ship to local chiefs and took up residence in the kingdom was this one chief or multiple?
  • Beckley was made a high chief by Kamehameha I so that he might, with "impunity enter the sacred precincts of the grass house and present the royal infant with a roll of China silk, after which he went outside and fired a salute of thirteen guns in her honor." this seems to imply that he had to be a high chief to enter the grass house; else it might mean he needed to be high chief to fire the gun, may want to specify that only high chiefs or above were allowed to enter/fire the guns.
  • Beckley implemented the tradition of wearing Western uniforms, gaining the name "Humehume" (cover up) by the Hawaiians. Previously the native soldiers only wore the traditional malo (loincloths) suggest:

    This might be good as is. KAVEBEAR (talk) 16:33, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
