FSM History

District officer Senfft returns Ulithians who had drifted to the Visayas.

What happened

Senfft sailed to Ulithi on the steamer Natuna, and Chief Follebu of Yap came along as a sign of Yap’s regional authority over the outer islands. The Ulithians welcomed the party with a traditional dance. Senfft’s report described Ulithi’s houses, canoes and food and noted widespread plant disease on the atoll.
