Friend, 1875-05

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.

Our loss amounted to seven killed, the Captain, first and second officers, and four seamen, a part were killed in the water, men that jumped overboard. Five were seriously wounded, and myself, with whale spades, but recovered. The booty taken by the natives amounted to one whale boat, several spades, harpoons, lances, &c. When they took the boat, they cut_the tackles and all the fasten• ings without removing the cranes on which the boat set. The boat then rolled off and fell into the water bottom up with two holes, where the cranes had gone through; two of ,· the natives had left with the boat, sitting astride on the keel, when they came within range of the guns they were both shot, and we saw them no more.

A book, published by the Harpers of New York, called the "Nimrod of The Sea," or "American Whalemen," contains a brief account of the Awashonks massacre; but it was published without any official information, and is in many of its details, quite erroneous. I do not think the natives at that early day had learned the force of fire arms. · In several instances I pointed a loaded musket at them from the cabin windows, not more than fifteen yards dis~ant, while they were looking me full in ·the face, with no expression of fear, but making every effort with their paddles to gain the side of the ship. One of the natives who escaplild, received a deep spade cut across the arm, between the elbow and the shoulder; should he be living to-day, would probably show a large scar. As I was the only officer left alive, th~ command of the ship 'devolved on me, and we decided to make a direct passage to Honolulu where we arrived on the 25th of .November, I then being a young man of only 21 years, and not wishing to retain the responsibility of commander, gave up the charge of the ship to Mr. Jones; United States C,msul. He appointed Jobn 0. Prpctor as master, and I accepted the situation of first officer, and we took in freight and passengers, and came directly home to Falmouth, where ,ve arrived May 20th, 18~6. Our-passengers were the Rev. Joseph. Goodrich, wife and three children ; Mrs. Brinsmaid and two children; and Mrs. Johnstone, at that time a teacher, who had under her charge Miss Mary Warren ; · our passengers were very pleasant kind of people and we had a very fine passage home. In August, I left my home again as first officer of "the same ship, made a very successful voyage, and returned home ~n 1840, which completed my third voyage in the Awaslwnks/ l having made one voyage previous to the massacre as a sailor boy. . On my arrival in 184t>, I found the good ship Hobomok waiting for me, afterward called the Live Oak, and in May sailed again on my first voyage as master. Since that time I have been master of the Commodore JJiorris many years. The first ten years I have spent at home, and formed a very pleasant acquaintance with my wife and six children. When I visited Honolulu, I became well acquainted with Rev. Mr. Diel, since then my voyages have been in the South Pacific, and have been obliged to find other ports more convenient. Captain Lawrence tells me that you have published a map of Covil's Island. If you have one that you can send me, I will endeavor to compensate you in some way for it. My children all hold certificates of 8tock in the Morning Star, and it will be very gratifying to learn that their contributions in that enterprise have resulted in establishing 11 Christian Mission among those people, that made such a desperate effort to take th e life of their father, forty ,years ago.

Very respectfully yours, SILAS JoNEs. REMARKS. It was our privilege to visit Ebon, a passenger on board ~he M01·ning Star, in 1861. During our cruise we gathered up all the information which could be obtained, respecting the former intercourse of ships with the Marshall Islands. Th same was published in the "Morning Star Papers," from which we copy as follows: EDITORIAL 0 J,J In 1834, Capt. Dowsett mysteriom;Jy dis- appeared at the P1scadores, one of the most northerly islands of Ralick Chain. We still hope as the missionaries extend their work northward, that they will be able to ascertain something more definite in regard to his fate. We express this opinion, because the islanders have hitherto been very cautious about speaking of former transactions with foreigners. As one and another joins the mission party, facts are being revealed in rE;)gard t o th e pas t h 1·stor y of .r110 r e1·g n 1·nter• course. In 1845, Capt. Cheyne, of the Naid, had trouble with the dwellers upon Ebon, and one man was killed on the spot, besides th e n~phew of th e higheS t chief of th e Ralick Chah:1 was wounded and died soon after landing_. · Dr. Gulick, in his lectures, refers to a whaleship that was nearly cut off, at Namarik, ·(Earing's Island) about the same time, 1845, and also two whale boats' crews came ashore and the crews were all killed at Ebon. During our visit to Ebon, we also heard the story of a boat's crew which we are led to suppose may have belonged to the ill-fated bi;ig. Wzlliam Neilson. . In October, 185.2, the schooner Glencoe, .of San Francisco, was burnt and crew mur- dered by the inhabitants of Ebon. In thi:s•· affair the chiefs took no part, for they were· absent from the island. The Glencoe anchored near the anchorage ground where the Jfrn-nin,q Star lay in safety during o~:r, visit, and where we enjoyed the most friend-ly intercourse with the people. A short time after the bloody affair of the · G;lencoe, it is reported that a brig touched at-1 Ebon, and active preparations were made by. the chiefs and people to take the vessel and'. murder all hands. Just as the the vessel , was about to drop her anchor, the wind ' veered and the master of the brig concluded it unsafe to anchor. Thus the vessel escaped in a manner most providential. The vesse] would have anchored where the Morning Star lay, while we remained at Ebon: In December, 1852, two months after the · sad affair of the Glencoe, the Sea .1Vympk, of San Francisco, Capt. McKensie; was cut off at Jaluit or Bonham's Island. The only survivor of Captain McKensie's crew wasbrought to Honolulu about three years ago•. The Hull of the vessel is now to be seen in , the spot where she was burnt and sunk by the natives. Dr. Gulick reports the Sea •Nymph as belonging to San Francisco, buti: unless we are much mistaken, she was under the British flag. During our visit to Ebon, we also heard of a large ship which went on shore at Bikini~ one of the most northern of the Ralkk, Chain. We are inclined to think that that the vessel referred to by Dr. Gulick, as having been nearly cut off at Namarik (Baring's-Island) is one to which Captain Jones was attached.. The position would nearly cor- • respond, as given in " North Pacific Pilot," . baring north latitude 5 ° 35', east longitude 168 ° 26', while Ebon, or Boston Island, is given as in north latitude 4 39', east long-ibde 168 ° 49'. Dr. Gulick intimates that it may have been about 1845, whereas, Capt. Jones states that the occurance took place in . 1835, but it must be remembered that Dr. Gulick gathered his information most likely · ° from tradition among the islanders. In calling attention to this series of bloody · massacres, which occurred during the twentyyears previous to the establishment of the·· American Mission on those Llands, we think the most narrow-minded and prejudiced, opposer of the missionary enterprise, must admit, that here is one instance wherein Christian missionaries have rendered esseri-tial aid to the interests of commerce and shipping. Since the Mission was commenced in 1855, or twenty years ago, noth-ing of the kind has occurred, except on one of the northern islands of the Marshall, Group, which no missionaries have ever vis- ited. We refer to the massacre of the crew of the Hamburg schooner Franz, in 186]. The chiefs of the Marshall Islands have · s_acredly kept their pled!?'e made to Cap - tain .., Handy, of the bark Bell, which took the first missionaries to those islands, that if mission-• 'I' H E F R 1- E N D , M A·I , a ries should settle among the people, all massacres should cease, and protection would 'oe extended to the Mission. Since that pledge was given, the ~Morni ng Sta?' has made its annual visit and been ,u nmolested. Not only _among the Marshall 'Islanders has the influence of the Mission '·been felt, but also throughout all Micronesia. 'The Pacific University and its Founders. Among the rising institutions of learning ·west of the Rocky Mountains, is the Pacifiic University of Oregon. It is something more than a quarter of acentury since its foundation was laid, and its growth has been gradual, but sure. By the last mail, we received from J. Quinn Thornton, Esq., of Salem, Oregon, a pamphlet entitled," History of the ·title to real estate in Salem." The writer 'had occasion to introduce, for an illustration, ,the origin of the Pacific University and its found·ers. We think our readers cannot but be interested in perusing the following para• graphs: "But we would not willingly permit the •name of Tabitha Brown to die and pass tbeyond recall; for it is said that "the memory of the just is blest." She came to Oregon in 1846, by the way -of what, in those days, was known as the Southern or Applegate route. Nothing but an unconquerable will and an amount of -energy seldom equaled, enabled her to suc~cessfully encounter the hardships, privations and dangers of that journey. When she 'left the canyon of the U mpqua mountain ..some of her even less fortunate fellow trav• elers were so reduced in their means of sub·s istence that they were living upon cattle that had perished in the passage of the mountain ·,because of starvation and fatigue . . Mrs. Brown settled near or at what is ;now known as Forest Grove, in Washington -county. Some time in the year 1847, she ,expressed to the late Rev. Harvey Clarke a ,desire to become wealthy. Mr. Clarke, ·with some surprise, ventured to inquire what -use she would make of riches if she should in the providence of God become their pos.sessor. "I would," she answered, '' establish an orphan asylum. and would build up ,:an educational institution on broad and deep ,foundations, having a capacity in both institutions to meet all the present necessities of ,Oregon, but with such power of expansion .as to furnish not only a home for every child that may hereafter be left in a state of orphanage, but an education also. And in ..addition to this I would provide such facilities as would enaQle all parents in the coun• try to educate their sons and daughters in ,-the higher branches without sending them abroad.' 1 This answer clearly enough indi•cates that she was no ordinary woman, that ·she possessed a large, warm and benevolent heart, that her judgment was clear, aud that 'her intellect was strong and capable of com·prehending the necessities of the future. This conversation was really the germ of the Pacific University.

T H .E F R I E N D, _M l I , 38 Obituary of Mr~Delia S. Bishop. We are again called upon to chronicle the death of one of those \Vho came to these Islands as a Missionarv under the auspices of the American Board~ Mrs. D. ~f Bishop, formEwlv Miss Delia Stone, was born in Bloomfield, N. M.ay 26, 1800, and died in Honolulu, April 13, 1875, hence was nearly seventy-six years ()f age. ·she removed from her native place and resided in Rochester, N. Y., and embarked from Boston, Nov~ 3, 1827, in company with the Rev. L. Andrews 1 Rev. J. Green, Rev. P. J. Gulick, Rev. E. W. Clark, Dr. Judd, and others. Y.; They arrived safely the following spring. A few months after her arrival, &he was ~arried to the Rev. A. Bishop, stationed at Kailua, Hawaii. During her earlier years of Missionary life, she was ardently devoted . . . to _the work of rn_structrng a ~chool o~ native children, numbermg 100 pupils, for six hours a day, not neglecting the domestic duties which fell to her lot. Thus she continued 1.-Jr labors until 1837, when her nervous system gave way, and she was compelled to relax from her wonted labors and change the nature of work; but it was always her aim to keep busily employed. She would not be numbered among the quiet, retiring and listening Marys, but rather among the working, energetic and busy Marthas, none the less willing, however, to follow her Divine Master. During the last fifteen years she has been a worshiper at the Bethel Chapel in Honolulu, and was always to be seen ir;i. her accustomed place, until the infirmities of age absolutely prevented her coming to the House of God, and even after she was ab-le to follow a protracted train of thought, yet such was the force of early habit that she would not neglect the public worship of God. She leaves one surviving sister, -Mrs. Minerva S. Curry, of Rochester, widow of the late Rev. Wm. F. Curry, of Geneva, N. Y. Her remains were. interred in the Mission cemetery, near the Stone Church, near those of her husband, the Rev. A. Bishop. As one after another of the older Missionary Band pass away, the words of ;the Revelator John come to mind--" And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth : yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest. from their labors; and their works do follow them." I _7 5 • The Friendship of Jesus. He that findeth Jesus, findeth a treasure of 'infinite value, a good transcending all .that can be called good; and he that loseth Jesus, loses more than the whole world. That man only is poor in this world who liveth without Jesus; and that man only is rich with whom Jesus delights to dwell. It requires great skill to converse with Jesus, and great wisdom to know how to keep Him; bµt not the skill of men, nor the wisdom of this world. Be humble and peaceful, and Jesus will come to thee; be devout and meek, and He will dwell with thee. Without a friend, life is unenjoyed; and unless Jesus be thy chosen friend, infinitely loved and preferred above all others, life will be to thee a scene of desolation and distress. 1t js madness to place confidence and delight in any other. Of all that are dear to thee then, let Jesus be the peculiar and supreme object of thy love. Let it be thy continual prayer for all, e~en -ror thy enemies, that all may be blest with .the knowledge and love of Him. THOMAS A. KEMPIS. " Romuald • Pacheco, who suc<;eeds Dr. Booth as Gov. of California, is the first native of that State who has reached the gubernatorial chair. He was born at Santa Barbara, of Spanish parents, and was fifteen years of age when the emigrants from the United States took possession of the soil. He received his education in Europe, has traveled considerably. and since his entrance upon public Jife has held several offices of responsibility." We copy the foregoing from one of our exchanges. Gov. Pacheco may_ have completed his education in Europe, but in early life he spent some seven or eight years in Honolulu, attending the " Charity School," so famous thirty years ago, when under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Johnstone, the latter of whom survives and well remembers her old pupil. It is also gratifying to know that he has not forgotten his old school teacher, to whom he sends an occasional aloha. [From the New York Observer.] Three Thousand Eggs a Year. A lady friend of mine was informed that the husband of a friend of hers brought into the house three thousand eggs a year from his coops. My friend had been unsuccessful in that line. She was induced by members of her family to write to the lady of this favored husband asking him to communicate the secret of his success. The gentleman wrote her the following letter. He is a lineal descendant of Rev. Jonathan .Edwards, THE venerable widow of Dr. Levi Spaul- of Northampton, Mass., though not a clergyding died at Batticotta, Ceylon, Oct. 28th , man. I can testify to the correctness of his 1874, in her 80th year.

My JJear F'riend.-The good wife thinks fi f tf ° a man who can bring into the house over 3,000 eggs a year is the husband for her, and she wishes me, as an expert, to tell you how it is done . No eggs need ever be expected from Brahma hens. I have had all the Asiatic fowls-Brahmas, Cochin China, Shanghais,. Malays a:nd Javas-have showered upon them grain and kindness, and am now persuaded that the whole Malay race, both of men and hens, is indolent, malignant and useless. There is no business in them. Brahminism itrnlf is a syste'rn of selfihness : the hens have no disposition to lay eggs; they eat incessantly, straddle about the world with an awkward gait, which is enough of itself to condemn them, and are only large and plump when roasted, because they cannot help it. Like geese and turkeys, they lay but one batch of eggs as their year's work, antl then insist on sitting; they will do it, like George Washington, with their little hatch-it. You can no more get eggs from Asiatic fowls by oats than you can make a deaf and dumb child into a musician by feeding sounds and tongues. Race is everything in hens, as in men. You want Anglo-Saxon hens: our native kind, with yellow feathers and legs, or the hawk-colored (speckled, blue and white), or the Leghorn, called so, I fancy, not from an Italian birth-place, but because the extraordinary comb hanging over their heads is suggestive of the old-fashioned Leghorn bonnet. In any of these families you will find character, a trim and active body, an alert air, and a cheerful devotion to business, and that business, eggs. Mr. Peggotty's description of little Emily, as he recalls her in the Australian Bush, is a model picture of my kind of hen. "A slight figure," said Mr. Peggotty, looking in the fire, " kierder worn; soft, sorrowful blue eyes ; a delicate face; a pritty head, leaning a little down; a quiet voice and way; timid a'most. That's Emily." I might continue h'l's loving description: " Cheerful, along with me, retired when others is by; fond of going any distance "-(that's true of my hens)-'' fondly loving of her uncle; sorot out by all that has any trouble "-[in getting eggsJ-"that's Emily." The food of hens should be chiefly oats.; corn not oftener \han once in two days; water always; scraps from the house; a plilful of old plaster, or powdered oyster shells occasionally, and then their songs of labor will wake the baby; your boys wilt be in continual procession bringing in eggs, and yourself serene in the realiz_ation of your rural hopes. I will send I_o~, early next week, by Adams' Expres~our or five hens and a patriarch, as a beginning (a nest egg) of a new dynasty in your hen yard.
