Kīna‘u replies to the passengers of the Europa. She allows the Spanish subjects to come ashore, but she further investigates the English and French subjects. Through various correspondence, she discovers that the French subject is indeed a Roman Catholic, and does not permit him to land even though he reassures her that he is to abide by the laws. The end of this document shows a dialogue between Kīna‘u and Jules Dudoit regarding this incident.
