Good short stories on XIX century adventures in the Pacific, vivid, imaginative, but dated perhaps in its handling of les Noirs

I found these stories quite gripping at times. The South Pacific islands weren't holiday destinations in the nineteenth-century but were riddled with hurricanes, cannibals and disease, a perfect setting for these stories. Also the narrator does a great job in bringing these stories to life.
