Johnson suggested that the narrator went to see Captain Brunot, an old
Frenchman who used to play chess with Strickland. He recalled going to see
Strickland at his secluded hut Strickland lived like a native in an area. Brunot
asked Strickland about his life. He answered that Ata left him alone so he can
paint, and that he will never leave Tahiti. Brunot
was the first to see Strickland's works, which he painted in Tahiti
and liked them enough to buy several. The men introduced him to Dr. Cutro
