Short description
Georg Forster tells of another heeva that he could witness. Its characteristics remain unchanged, but its duration is shorter than the one described on 11 September.

On the first of these days we were likewise entertained with another heeva or dramatic dance, by the same persons who had performed it before. It was in every respect the same with that which we saw on the 11th, only its duration was much shorter.
