The trade in beche-de-mer now began to attract ships, and soon there was as much shipping as in the best years of the sandalwood trade. but the proportion of losses was high. The beche-de-mer ships usually approached Fiji from Tonga; they kept well to the south, and entered through the passage between Oges and Vatoa, which had been used by d’Urville. Vatoa is a low island, easily missed in bad weather, or at night; three miles to the south there is a dangerous reef – Vuata Vatoa – on which the Oeno of Nantucket was lost in 1825
