The Tapu of Branderah by Louis Becke is about the voyage of English and German travelers heading to Mayou in southeast New Guinea. Excerpt: "As the rising sun had just begun to pierce the misty tropic haze of early dawn, a small, white-painted schooner of ninety or a hundred tons burden was bearing down upon the low, densely-wooded island of Mayou, which lies between the coast of south-east New Guinea and the murderous Solomon Group—the grave of the white man in Melanesia."
