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. |

To these children this is in a certain sense a double memorial service, and it has seemed to them meet that one should take part in it. who had kno,vn and held dear both Father and Mother. It is a beautiful trait of our humanity-this universal desire to offer some parting tribute to our loved ones, fefore we lay away out of sight the earthly cllskets which their indwelling &pirits s 1nctified. No religion worthy of the n;.ime has ever won any ,vny among men, that did not recognize and provide for this craving of our hearts.

There would surely be a propriety and justice in a rich mans wealth being, in part at least, expended where it was accqmulated. It seems unjust for rich men to draw tl1ei r wealth from a community and do '' little or nothing." to benefit that comrnurnty, beyond the mere pittance of their taxes. This is to-day the ·curse of Ireland, non-residents live upon t:be rents of their poor tenants.

Capt. Halliday reported his chief officer, Frank Anderson and seven of the c1~ew as sLill missing, the. b~at in which they were having pai't,ed company from the others dul'ing the first night after leaving the ship. 'rhe Norval was an iron vessel of 1427 tons register, built at Sunderland in 1873. She was the property of Messrs. T. 0. Hunter & Hendry of Greenock. Slle sailed from Hull oli 26th October last and was bound for San :Francisco, carrying a cargo 1865 tons of coal. The voyage w11,s withont any incident of importanee until. the afternoon of Tuesday, 28th February, the ship being then according to the captain's estimate in latitude 8 N., longitude 1 5· 40 W. What then accmrecl is thus recorded by the first o:fficer in the ship's official log. "At 4 p.m., on coming on deck my attention was called by the captain to a smoky sort of steam issuing from the fore-hatch, accompanied with a strong smell of gas. On going . down below, in between decks and lower hold, found it to be quite cool, with a slightly snffocuting smell; ventilations, etc., having been strictly attended to. At o a. m.," ( March 1st) " went below with captain, found smell of gas to be increasing, with a strong smell of burning wood and coal tar, and more l:mffo cating. Hatch combing, etc., turning a kind of dark glassy lead-color. At 9 a.m. opened main hatch; smoke, ;;team and strong smell of burning issuiilg. l!'ouncl midship stanchion on fore eud .of hatch to be very hot with a strong heat coming up from betwAen the shifting boanh;.

R educed ship to topsail s, got lifeboats in tho davits and ready for sea and started ail the purnps to pump water in the ho1c1 in the vicinity of the main hatch through holes in the deck u1ade uy the carpenter. Got water breakers filled aucl provisions all ready to go in the boats. " At noon that day the 1-1hip was in Latitude 10· 34 N., and longitude 117· BD W. The pumpiug of the water into the held was contiuuecl throughout that and the followiug day. On the morning ·of the 2nd March, the tem peratnre of the coals near the maiu hatch w:1s found to be 90°, and elsewhere SU 0 , whilst that of the air and water were at the same time tlO O to 81°. At 5 p.m. that day the work at the force pumps was stopped but the steam pump was kept going until 8. p. m., when seven feet of water were found in the well. The three principal hatches were then battened down, the other comn:nmications with the hold being cove1·ed loosely. the captain expe.,cting that by them ::mcl at the masts sufficient ventilation for the escape of gases was secured. The following morniug, March 3rd, as soon as the morning watch was set, sail wns got on tlle ship and at five a.m., the pumps were Rta1'tecl and kept going uutil four p. m., when the water in the well had been reduced to two ft. 10 ins. The temperature of i;he water as it came out was 85 o and during the afternoon pieces of cinder and of charcoal and charred wood were constantly coming up with it through the pumps. Some hope was entertained that the measures taken had been successful and the ship was kept on her course. Soon after the men had ceased pumping however, and just as they were going to supper, without warning of any kind a frightful explosion took place. So violent was it thut it is surprising that no one on boarcl was seriously injured by it. The chief officer was at the· time sitting in his ca-bin with the log book a,nd a memorandum book of the captain's before hin:1. His cabin wa:,,-,- in the middle of the ship under the break of the poop, anc1 had two windows Jc,oking out on to''the maindeek, with the after hatch, of coul'se, immediately before him. Fortnnate]y he wab sittmg oppos-ite the woodwork between the windowi:i. The latter 'Were blown in with great ·violence by the escaping gases, but the mate escaped with only a sCI'atch from a piece of glass on one side of hiR head. 'l'he f!teward and the carpenter were the or:ily men who got hurt. The forruer was lying on the cabin table immediatelv over the hatch of the lazarette, and was thrown up against the beams of the deck, hurlrng hi.a head. The carp.e nter was hurt by a blow from the rail of one of the poop-ladders· Both the poop-ladders with their brass rails were blown to pieces, _and the hatches were driven up into the ail' as high as the upper topsail yards. We cannot give furijher extracts from the ofiicial log because so violent was the explosion th:1t it blew the log book into a corner of the mate's cabin, crumpling up the leaves and teating out that last written on, and there was too much else to attend to for further entries to be made. The captain's memo. book which contained daity notes to assist the mate in writing up ths log was litera1ly blown to pieces, the stiff backs been torn, as if they had been · tissue paper. The following terse account of what happened is taken from the record made by Captain Halliday himself in the book in which he kept his notes of his subsequent voyage to these islands. "At 4.30 p.m., ship exploded bursting up everything. Clewed up and backed maiuyard, put two lifeboat:, into the water with provisions, which lay by the ship all night. At 5 a.m. (March 3rd) took in boats, nude sail to try ancl take the ship as for as possible towards the Sandwich Islands. About) 1 a.m., fire was seen issuing from pump-well, got boats out aud provisioned. About 1100n ship getting very hot ·with volumes of smoke from aftel' h::i.tch iwc1 main hatch: got all hands into boats (4 boats) and got to -w indward of ship, about 1 p.rn. Could soon see fire issuing from ship about pump-·well and after hatch. 'l'hree quarters of an honr after getting all into the -boa.ts, t.he nrninmast went over the side ; large fl a me frorn the main hatch right a.ft to stern. About ,1 p.m., rnizenmast went by the boaxd, Hhip payer1 off be(ore the wincl enveloped in flames. l\Iade snil on boats for the Sandwich Sslancls, giving all bo11tR orders to follow and k eep close. '' Of the boats in which thifl adYentnrous voyage was commenced, two were life bont.s 0f 26 feet keel. 'fhese were cornmauc1ecl by Captain Halliday and the first mate. 'rhe oth er boats were so·mewhat smalle1· i the second mate had chnrge of one, al.id the Loatswaiu of the otlrnr. The following is the captain's own i'ecorc1 of the voyaae to Ha Yvaii: . ;, No word of mate'r, boat il1 E.awaihae Bay. I hope he has been picke"l up by some vessel, ar; I expected him to get here before me, having to wait on the second mate's boat so much for the first 8 days. The conduct of the crew in both boats has be(m satisfactory throughout." 'rhe following are the names of the officers a!ld crew that were in the two boats ·which have reached Honolulu : Capt. Geo. Halliday, Donald Mcinnes, Wm. Gibbons, Geo. Harpley, C. :Farminger, Jas. White, Kiton de Snza, Oscar Peterson, Wm. Grant Cook, John Irey, Walter H. Brain, :Frederick Bennet, David 'rhomas (2nd mate;, John Kelly, Frank Barwick, ,John Anderson, Oisterman, ,Tas. Bradley, Wm. Heron, H. Bordaman, Archibald Hewey. The names of those who were in the missmg boat are, Frank Anderson (1st mate), Jacob Hulbart, Valintini Valenius, Simon Larka, Gustafson, James Martin, Uhas. Pierce and Wm. Bingham. It need hardly be said that Capt. Hallirloy and his men received evel"y attention at the hands of .H. B. l\I. 's Acting Consul here, ::Ur. •r. Ram Walker, from his brother shipmasters who ar0' in this port, and from many other;; iVho interested themselves in this unexpected body of immigrants. They were all lodged at the Seamen's Home, and we understand that several of the men are likely to take employment here, Capt. Halliday having promptly macle arrangements to pay them off at this port. Enquiry of Capt. Halliday, as to whether he thought there was auythiug in which the charncter of the coal shipped on board hit, vessel differed from other coal to account for its :firing, led to a negative reply. He informed us that such disasters occasionally occur with all descriptions of coal. When he sailed from Hull, his owners had just received intelligence that in another of their ships, the Caithlocb, then discharging at San Francisco, the coal had taken fire, although the fire war; not discovered until the t~tevedores began to unload her. The Caithloch's coal »as from Dnndee, whilst that carried. by the Norval was Wheldale Hai·tley steam coal. lt had occurred to him as a probable r eason fo1· the combustion of the coal t,hat a great deal of it had been shipped in rainy weather. It was fresh out of the pits, was wet in the railway trncks and ,vas from them turned into the ship in its wet condition. He mentioned that this was the fifth ship that had sailed from Hull during the past eighteen months on ·which the coals had taken fire. It may be assumed that it is as impossible to discover beforehand a predisposition to spontaneous combustion in coal as it appears to be to predict the calamitious developments of fire-damp which occasionally occur in coal mines. With most qualities of brown coal• (lignite) the presence of moisture and atmospheric air is sufficient to incite combustion, but there is nothing on record to show these these circumstances affect true coal in a similar manner. THE JAPANJ<;sE ENVOY.-His Excellency Michinori S. Nagasaki, special Envoy of His Imperial Japanese ~Iaje1;ty to the Court of Iolani, is a gentleman of supeTior cult1ne.
