Output (English): In the 1920s Charlotte, an American painter, arrives from Boston on the island of Alaya to visit her father, U. S. Navy Captain Bruckner, whom she hasnt seen in quite some time. Bruckner is the U.S. Congresssanctioned governor of the island. He rules with a stern, patrician, and thoroughly patronizing attitude towards the natives. Charlotte is somewhat taken aback by her fathers rigid adherence to the law. She tries to intervene on behalf of Bruckners chargehouseboy Matangi, who plans to get Bruckner to toss out a harsh penalty issued to a native man who stole a boat for love. Bruckner refuses, and severely reprimands Matangi, much to Charlottes dismay. Matangi is soon anointed the high chief of his island, Alava. Matangi isnt as willing to wholeheartedly accept the edicts of the U.S. forces, particularly if they go against the wellbeing of his own people. His stubbornness quietly enrages Bruckner. Charlotte wants to stay for a month on the island, chaperoned by Dr. Danielsson and Father Malone, missionaries who reside on Alava. Despite Captain Bruckner’s jealousy over his daughter’s attraction to Matangi, he agrees to the stay and sails off for a month. Matangi and Charlotte quickly become lovers. When this is discovered by her father, he has Matangi arrested on a trumpedup charge. He escapes, with Charlottes help. Just as tensions are beginning to boil, disaster strikes in the form of a giant hurricane.
