285 x 230 mm. The third of a sequence of three pictures taken from the same viewpoint, covering the ceremony at Motu-Motu, the correct order being plates Y3084A/21, Y3084A/39, Y3084/A3. A detachment of sailors are grouped at the right, with rifles raised, with marines standing around the flag and natives sitting on the ground around the flagstaff: the natives 'clustered around the flagstaff, falling upon their faces stricken with consternation', at the first round of firing (Lyne, p. 93). |
