Constance F. Gordon-Cumming
clipping from C.F. authored work on the H.M.S.
Barracouta in Western Samoa
A massacre of the British H.M.S. Barracouta crew by the Western Samoans was written upon by several British Imperialist writers like C.F. Gordon-Cumming, New Zealand Newspapers (The New Zealand Herald), and overseas in The Edinburgh Review, all supporting the actions of Royal British Captain Stevens. Some authors like C,F. Gordon-Cumming used racial colonial language and 'native primitive' terms to justify that Great Britain was in the right and should always be most important to Samoans. Author Sir William Laird Clowes also wrote on the events but in favor of Britain.
C.F. Gordon-Cumming supported that the American who was to fill the position of Prime Minister (Premier) Mr. Steinberger was rightfully arrested and kidnapped and taken on the Barracouta. Her account of the events, even though she wasnt there personally, also mention less British fallen and more Samoans downed in the affray than what others account and she says Chiefs were being taken hostage when those Chiefs were with King Malietoa (the King that helped the British).
Editor and research at TMBW "It's a little weird because she refers to the Samoan Taimua and Faipule Government who's friendly to the US. in these matters at the time (not on every issue during that time), as these rebels of some sort. She writes - The natives resisted in the above paragraph (top photo). She's referring to the actual Samoan Government, so in her mind the Government is the rebelious force here. It's nothing new really, my experience with British History is that they shift facts and they tend to get very word-playish when describing the actual battle, sometimes the word-play is so bad it's like the writer had a stroke while in the process of writing the book"
Her anti-American works as an author were criticized as an attempt to over reach her standing, never popular published works, but she still continued to travel in the Asia Pacific Islander regions.
