Kleis sold copra to Henderson and Macfarlane.[5] In 1892 Captain E.H.M. Davis of HMS Royalist reported on trading activities and traders on each of the Ellice Islands. The ship visited Nui on 29 July 1892. Captain Davis recorded in the ship’s journal that Kleis exported about 100 tons of copra in a good year.[6]
