Description | Published by the Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon from 1845 to 1885, The Friend focused on temperance and Christian mission to seamen. It began as a monthly newspaper that included news from both American and English newspapers, and gradually expanded to adding announcements of upcoming events, reprints of sermons, poetry, local news, editorials, ship arrivals and departures and a listing of marriages and deaths. From 1885 through 1887, it was co-edited by the Revs. Cruzan and Oggel. The editorship then passed to Rev. Sereno Bishop, who held the post until the publication of the paper fell under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in April of 1902 where it remained until June 1954. Since then, it has continued in a different format under the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ up to the present day, making it the oldest existing newspaper in the Pacific. Note that there are some irregularities in the numbering of individual issues, so that two issues may have the same volume and number, but different dates will distinguish them. |

" I COUNT THE HOURS THAT SHINE."- we occasionally find scattered through the pages of one of our American correspondents ,gems of thought most beautiful and suggestive. After a long silence she thus ends a paragraph: " Never mind the silence. I was wearied and worn out, and cannot write letters to dearest friends when the heart is too full for words ; and if I could I would not give one shade of care to far distant friends through the recital of little passing troubles..of mine.

It is a singular coinciden:e that just DEAR SIR :-In the summer of 1811 I atat this time, when Obookiah's narrative is tended the academy in Bradford and was a first published, his countrymen living near boarder in the family of Deacon Jno.

He gave Phillips thrown out at his late concert in me a patticular account of the death of Fort Street Church, would not prompt such Captain Cook and the causes which led to it. Said he, " Captain Cook, he came to a prayer as the following, offered recently by Owhyhee in a ship and had a great many President Finney of Oberlin: sailor.· One day the sailor tie a boat to the " 0 Lord, we have sung an anthem to thy shore with a rope, and in the night the wind praise.

Then sailor go ashore and find no wood and so he get an old woodgod, take him on board ship and. burn him in ca!:oose. Then king of Owhyhee he mad, and Captain Cook he mad too. Why, said l, did the king get mad? You see, said he, Owhyhee men take a log and make a great wood-god, look just like a man, and when they have a new king, they kill men and hang them up and kill hogs and hang them up right before the wood-god. But, said I, did they believe that the wood-god knew anything ? 0 no, said he, when they get the wood-god all made and put up then the spirit come and live in the wood and when the wood get old they make a new wood-god and the spirit go out of the old wood-god, and come live in the new one. Owhyhee me get mad because the sailor burn up the old wood-god," (deeming it I suppose a sort of sacrilege. The burning of this old deity occasioned the conflict between the natives and the sailors, which took place during the absence of Captain Cook). Then said Obookiah, "the sailor began to fire bullets on Owhyhee men and Owhyhee men hold up blankets to keep off the bullets and then boards, but they did no good. Then Captain Cook heard the noise and come running down to see what was the matt---r. Then one man say you kill Captain Cook, but he 'fraid, then a man say l will, and he came behind him and kill with a spear. Well, said l, what did they do with Captain Cook? They cut him in pieces and carried him up info the mountains and burnt him. Why, said I, did they burn him? 0, said he, they :fraid his soul live, and go back to King George and tell King George how Owhyhee men kill Captain Co~k and then King George send men and .kill Owhyhee men and so they burnt up soul and body together. How, said l, did you know all these things? 0, my grandfath.e r tell my father and my father tell me." I have thus very hastily given you a very brief outline of a part of many interesting _conversations, which I had at various times with this very interesting young man. He was a great favorite with all the family. He had so much frankness, honesty and simplicity that no one could be offended with him. I am constrained to say that l was one of those persons, whom he mentions in his life as "unserious." With one or two exceptions the students were not professors of religion. He afterwards as you well know became a very devout Christian, as did Thomas Hopoo, who came to America in the same ship with him.

You may perhaps remember that the Morning Star took to you last spring a report of very general drunkenness on this island. The King had just began to :attempt its suppression when the M01·ning Star sailed. In this he has been very successful, and drunkenness for the present at least has been driven from the island. Continued peace also prevails and the people are beginning, some of them at least, to give attention to spiritual things. Four young men and two young women were received to our church on confession of their faith in ·Christ, on the first Sabbath of this month. During the present month thirty-four persons have publicly declared their wish in our ,church prayer-meeti11gs to become Christians, and are numbered among our Inquirersmore than ninety of whom have expressed ·such a wish since the beginning of the year. Our training school is flourishing. On Monday last the first village school in Kanawa, taught by Gilbert Island teachers, was -opened. They receive their support from the p pie. This item ought to rejoice the hearts of the members of the Hawaiian Board. U We copy the following letter from the Boston Daily Advertiser of December 24th, ·and we have no doubt the "initials" indicate the letter to have been written by Captain Brewer, so well known in our island •community: "WHALE STORIES "-FIRST DISCOVERIES IN THE OCHOTSK SBA. l notice in your paper of the 17th instant -an article under the head of " Whale Stories," which reminds me of some incidents relating to the whale fisheries which oc•curred during some of my own cruises in the Pacific Ocean. In the month of May, 1833, I left the Sandwich islands as master of the American schooner Unity, of 60 tons, bound :to the port of Ochotsk in Siberia, and thence io the port of Petropaulowski in .Kamschatka, on a trading voyage. When in the neighborhood of the Kurile Islands (which were then in sight), a large whale was noticed coming slowly toward us on our starboard quarter, and thinking that when he -came near enough to see the vessel he would -.sheer off, I therefore did not f~l alarmed. FRIEND, MARCH, 1875. But he came directly on toward our starboard quarter, when he settled down and passed under our schooner's keel, scraping the whole length of his back against it1 coming up on our port bow, making the little cmft tremble and shake as if running with considerable speed over a coral reef. My second officer, who was standing near me, sprang into the cabin, seized a loaded pistol, and was going forward to give him a shot, when he " broke water," or came up under the larboard bow. But I forbade his domg this, and, seizing the tiller from the helmsman, put it "hard down," bringing the schooner up in the wind, as I was quite willing to be allowed to pass clear of his "flukes,"-the loss of the American whaleship Essex in 1820 by a whale being still in remembrance. On the 9th of July we passed through the passage of the Kurile Islands and saw many very large whales on our way up the Ochotsk Sea. We arrived at the port of Ochotsk on the 19th of July, after a very rough and stormy passage from Honolulu of 57 days; then left again on the 8th of August, 1833, for Kamschatka. On passing down the Ochotsk Sea we sailed, during one night, about 40 or 50 miles through phosphorescent matter, called" brit," or "whale feed," which appeared to us as if we were sailing through a sea of rnilk; and as our vessel sat very low in the water, we could read a newspaper on deck from the reflected light of the sea. The next morning the weather was pleasant and clear, and we were about 20 miles from the islands of Porumsishir. During the forenoon we were surrounded by whales as far as the eye could reach, and their "spouting" could almost have been compared to a forest of trees, they were so abundant. Many of them were of the largest size and would yield from 100 to 300 barrels of oil, with whale bone in proportion, as has since been proved. On a subsequent voyage in 1,834, in the brig Becket (formerly of Salem, Mass.), bound from China to Kamschatka, when near the Kurile Islands, I was lying one afternoon in my berth reading; I was startled by a tremendous thump under the counter of the vessel which almost threw me out of my berth. Springing out I went to the cabin windows, where I had a good view of a large whale, which had in passing struck us a glancing blow on the side of the vessel, but without damage. 1 passed the Kurile Islands again in the year 1835, in the ship Rasselas of Bo5ton, on our passage from China to Kamschatka; saw but few whales, being too far east of the islands. On this passage I discovered a cluster of dangerous rocks not . laid down upon any charts at that date,-1at. 31.54 N ., long. 140.20 E., the weather being clear and sea smooth. I went to the masthead while passing abreast, within a mile of them. I saw South Island bearing S. by E., and Orango-Simo bearing N. by W., both of them at the same time. These rocks are low and cannot be seen far in thick we·ather. They are about IO or 15 feet in height, forming nearly a circle, and about two cables' length in diameter, with much broken water around them. I returned to the Sandwich Islands in the schooner Unity in November, 1833. I think I was the first person who gave information 19 to the American whaling captains at Honolulu of the existence of the great abundance of whales in the Ochotsk Sea, which p-oved so profitable to them and to their owners for several years after. In the year 1836-7 and subsequently many ships took from 2500 to 3500 barrels of oil in the short space of a few weeks. The average yield at this date (1874) of right whales is about 70 or 75 barrels, but few were taken in that sea the. past summer. In former years the fleet consisted of 250 ships engaged in the right whale fisheries in the Arctic, Ochotsk and Kodiak seas, but the past summer there were only 25 ships cruising there. Jamaica Plain, Dec. 21, 1874. C. B. lfeath of the Hon. Thomas W. Willia&s. This Christian gentleman and merchant, so long and favorably known in the commercial and religious world around New London and elsewhere, died at his residence in that city December 31st, 1874. Remarks a newspaper of that city, "Thus with the passing away of the old year passes away one of ur oldest and most prominent citizens. It is just six years ago to-morrow since he was stricken down by a paralytic shock, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. That he has lived thus long is due to a remarkably vigorous constitution combined with an iron will." He died at the ripe age of over four score. Long has he been known as the head of the house of Williams, Havens & Co., which now assumes the name of Havens, Williams & Co., -his son Augustus, so well known in this part of the world, entering the firm. During his long career as a man of extensive business relations, he has also represented his district in Congress from 1839 to 1842, besides occupying other positions of official trust. He was the friend of missions and other benevolent enterprises. In 1832 he took an active part in originating the mission to seamen at the Sandwich Islands, under the auspices of A. S. F. Society, and sent out free of charge the materials for the Bethel (now standing in Honolulu) on board one of his ships, the Mentor, Captain Rice. His brother, General Williams, of Norwich, Ct., was also a remarkable man ; they were both noble Christian gentlemen of the best type. Another of the same class, Senator Buckingham, of Norwich, Ct., we notice has also just passed away. More than thirty years ago, when a young man just starting for the Sandwich Islands, it was our privilege to meet these 'three gentlemen, and to receive kind attentions. from them which we have not forgotten. n.::=r We notice in the South Illinois Journal of January 18th, the.death of Dr. D.

Smith, who was found dead in bed at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, was a very estimable man and brave soldier. The cause of his death was rapid congestion of the lungs. Throughout the war, Gen. Smith displayed unusual gallantry, and was frequently commended by his superior officers and rapidly promoted from the rank of Colonel to that of Major General. He had previously served with honor in the Mexican war. At the 01ttbreak of the rebellion he organized the Eighth Missouri Regiment, and with it led the attack on Fort Donelson. After the close of the war, Gen Smith was appointed Consul to the Sandwich Islands, which position he held only a short time. His age was about sixty years.-Am. paper.
