Not really Victorian era, but somewhere nearby. Specifically, I'm thinking of "The Shadow over Innsmouth" where the sea captain (Marsh) makes a pact with the fish people somewhere in the south seas, and intermarries with them to cement the deal. While not overtly tiki, the occult sects that worship the fish people could quite easily be interpreted in such a framework. "The Call of Cthulhu" takes place somewhere in the pacific, and could easily be set in the Victorian era. "Dagon", iirc, involves the aforementioned fish-people also.
