Okay. My point is much simpler and doesn't require any math. Whaling
captains liked to "recruit" people that used harpoons and spears and they
weren't to picky about who they snatched to work on board when they couldn't
get volunteers. The island named was a popular stop over. The Spanish and
others were moving people around for forced labor and other reasons. Expect
somebody to find some out of place genes around the pacific rim and their
islands.
