A LAND OF ENCHANTMENT
REMORE IN THE SOUTH SEAS...
6
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,500
THE ISLAND OF BORA-BORA STILL
UNTOUCHED BY THE HAND OF CIVILIZATION.
7
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:56,300
GREETING FROM THE CHIEF OF FANUMA
LORD OF ALL THE ISLANDS
TO THE CHIEF OF BORA BORA
8
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,800
UPON YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE
I CONFER THE HIGHEST HONOR
KNOWN TO OUR ISLANDS
9
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:36,500
THE MAIDEN SACRED TO OUR GODS
HAS PASSED AWAY AND I DECREE
THAT FROM YOUR ISLAND
SHALL COME HER SUCCESSOR
10
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:48,800
ONE I HAVE CHOSEN FOR HER BEAUTY,
FOR HER VIRTUE, FOR HER ROYAL BLOOD,
SHE WHO IS NAMED RERI
11
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:37,800
NO LAW OF THE GODS IS MORE TO BE FEARED
THAN THAT WHICH GUARDS THE CHOSEN ONE
MAN MUST NOT TOUCH HER...
12
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:46,800
OR CAST UPON HER THE EYE OF DESIRE
FOR IN HER HONOR
RESTS THE HONOR OF ALL HER PEOPLE

SACRED IS RERI FROM THIS TIME FORTH
SHE IS TABU
TO BREAK THIS TABU MEANS DEATH
14
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,800
HITU: WORTHIEST OF MY SUBJECTS
BEARS THIS MESSAGE
AND WILL BRING THE MAID TO ME...
15
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:07,700
FOR HER SAFETY
HE WILL ANSWER WUTH HIS LIFE
16
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:29,600
7 p.m.
The whole Island is still in an uproar.
The girl Reri has been stolen.
17
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,800
Whatever has happened, according to their law
she is still the "Chosen one"...
18
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:45,800
Unless she is returned
the Tabu means death...
19
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:51,800
She will be hunted down and sacrificed,
Matahari will be killed old Hitu himself will die.
20
00:36:51,800 --> 00:37:00,800
I shall not leave until I learn
what the island is going to do.
21
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:30,800
NO LAW OF THE GODS IS MORE TO BE FEARED
THAN THAT WHICH GUARDS THE CHOSEN MAID
MAN MUST NOT TOUCH HER...
22
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:39,800
OR CAST UPON HER THE EYE OF DESIRE
TO BREAK THIS TABU MEANS DEATH
23
00:38:50,300 --> 00:38:53,800
Second chapter
PARADISE LOST
24
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,800
FLEEING THE VENGEANCE OF THE TABU
THE GUILTY LOVERS FOUGHT THEIR WAY...
25
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:08,800
OVER LEAGUES OF OPEN SEA
SEEKING SOME ISLAND OF THE PEARL TRADE...
26
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,800
WHERE THE WHITE MAN RULES
AND THE OLD GODS ARE FORGOTTEN
27
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,800
IN THEIR FRAIL CANOE THROUGH STORMS
UNDER A BURNING SKY THIRST-CRAZED AND STARVING...
28
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:25,800
ALWAYS DRIVEN ON BY FEAR...
FEAR OF THE AVENGING TABU.
29
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:11,600
The couple found in their wrecked canoe,
as already reported, recovered quickly.
30
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:18,800
The boy, it develops, is born diver,
the best we have ever had on the island.
31
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:39,800
But it seems only play to him.
He evidently does not yet realize
what money means.
32
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:24,800
But the girl was stolen
before the ship left Bora-Bora
33
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:34,800
As the Government desires above all things
to avoid conflict between the islands under its rule,...
34
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:40,800
it demands the arrest
of this man and woman wherever found.
35
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:50,800
For their arrest, the Government ofers
a reward of Five Hundred Frans.
Et. Cadoustal .
36
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:59,800
A most unfortunate accident happened today on the Lagoon.
It occured while most of the people were ashore
at one of their native peasts.
37
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:06,300
There is a spot in the lagoon, the richest
in pearl beds of any in the South Seas.
38
00:51:06,300 --> 00:51:12,800
But this spot is Tabu. Natives shun it.
Today, one of our old divers
defying the superstition.
39
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:53,800
An enormous man-eating shark guards
these pearls the native believe...
40
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:59,800
Today's tragedy proves this is
no superstition: the shark is there.
41
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:12,800
I trust I have the Government's approval
in putting up a sign forbidding
further diving in this place.
42
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:55,800
