Robert Louis Stevenson The Samoans insisted on surrounding his body with a watch-guard during the night and on bearing him on their shoulders to nearby Mount Vaea, where they buried him on a spot overlooking the sea on land donated by British Acting Vice Consul Thomas Trood. Stevenson had always wanted his Requiem inscribed on his tomb: Stevenson was loved by the Samoans, and his tombstone epigraph was translated to a Samoan song of grief.
