- # SUBSEQUENT DISCLOSURES
## Overview
This section, titled "SUBSEQUENT DISCLOSURES," is part of Chapter Thirty-Two of a larger work. It details events and observations following a period of intense revelry and potential cannibalistic feasting. The text describes the narrator's morbid curiosity, his visit to the "Ti" (a place of significance), and his interactions with the local chiefs, Mehevi and others. The section focuses on the narrator's attempts to find evidence of recent events and the subtle avoidance of the topic by the native inhabitants.
## Context
This section is contained within [CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO](arke:01KG8AJRVDF15YJG4FE8SFQY08), which covers "APPREHENSIONS OF EVIL--FRIGHTFUL DISCOVERY--SOME REMARKS ON CANNIBALISM--SECOND BATTLE WITH THE HAPPARS--SAVAGE SPECTACLE--MYSTERIOUS FEAST--SUBSEQUENT DISCLOSURES." It is part of the [Melville Complete Works](arke:01KG89HMDZKNY753EZE1CJ8HZW) collection and was extracted from the file `typee.txt`. This section follows the events described in "SECOND BATTLE WITH THE HAPPARS--SAVAGE SPECTACLE--MYSTERIOUS FEAST" and precedes the section titled "Initial discovery of human remains and reflections on captivity."
## Contents
The text begins with the narrator describing the persistent sound of drums from the previous day, which caused him horror. Upon hearing no further revelry the following day, he concludes the feast has ended and, driven by curiosity, proposes a visit to the "Ti" with Kory-Kory. They are advised to wait until noon. At the "Ti," the narrator observes that everything appears normal, and the chiefs, including Mehevi, receive him amicably. No one mentions the recent events, and the narrator refrains from doing so himself. He notes observing a "curiously carved" object as he leaves.

- The sound of the drums continued without intermission the whole day, and
falling continually upon my ear, caused me a sensation of horror which I
am unable to describe. On the following day, hearing none of those
noisy indications of revelry, I concluded that the inhuman feast was
terminated; and feeling a kind of morbid curiosity to discover whether
the Ti might furnish any evidence of what had taken place there, I
proposed to Kory-Kory to walk there. To this proposition he replied
by pointing with his finger to the newly risen sun, and then up to the
zenith, intimating that our visit must be deferred until noon. Shortly
after that hour we accordingly proceeded to the Taboo Groves, and as
soon as we entered their precincts, I looked fearfully round in, quest
of some memorial of the scene which had so lately been acted there; but
everything appeared as usual. On reaching the Ti, we found Mehevi and a
few chiefs reclining on the mats, who gave me as friendly a reception as
ever. No allusions of any kind were made by them to the recent events;
and I refrained, for obvious reasons, from referring to them myself.
After staying a short time I took my leave. In passing along the piazza,
previously to descending from the pi-pi, I observed a curiously carved
