Second son of Abba Thulle, ruler of Coorooraa in the Pelew Islands. He was brought to Britain by Captain Henry Wilson, who had been rescued and given hospitality by the islanders when his ship foundered. Wilson brought him to Britain to further his education, but he succumbed to smallpox about five months later. He is buried in the Wilsons' family grave.
