Captain James Cook, 1728-79, British explorer, attending a human sacrifice at Otaheiti on the island of Tahiti, in the Windward Islands, French Polynesia, in 1777, detail of an engraving after John Webber, 1751-93. John Webber accompanied Captain Cook on his 3rd Pacific expedition. In times of war or famine, a man would sometimes be sacrificed to the gods. He would be killed with a club or by stoning and attached to a pole while the priest (sitting here at his feet) recited incantations, then the body buried in a pit in the ground.
