Martyrs’ Memorial Church, Erromango, ca.1890
Bibliographic record
Abstract
“Eromanga [Erromango] - Martyrs’ Memorial Church to John Williams and Harris, Mr. and Mrs. G. Gordon and J. D. Gordon." Portrait of an unknown group of New Hebrideans [Vanuatuans] in front of the two-storey wooden church at Dillon’s Bay. The building has pointed arch windows and doors and decorative eaves. John Williams (1796-1839) was commissioned by the London Missionary Society in 1816, and active in the South Pacific. In 1839, while visiting a part of the New Hebrides where he was unknown, Williams and his fellow missionary James Harris were killed on the island of Eromanga during an attempt to bring them the Gospel. George N. Gordon (1822-1861) was a Presbyterian Canadian missionary who arrived on the island in 1857. In 1861 sandalwood traders intentionally exposed the natives to measles. Two children of one of the island's chiefs had died in Gordon’s care. Blaming him for their deaths, the chief and a group of warriors killed both George and his wife, Ellen, in 1861. His brother, James D. Gordon (1832-1871), sailed to Eromanga in 1864. In 1871 he was killed for reasons that are still unclear. Ten years later the church building was dedicated.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
