My Rev and esteemed

extended to a much greater length, and have embraced
a much wider range of topics than 1 at first intonded,
horn my unexpected detention on the Wands, and the
many new subjects which that longer residenco and
better acquaintance with the natives suggested to myu
mind, while the longer I stayed the more intense
cume my interest for the welf.re of this singularly be'sulfated and peculiarly circumstanced people.
Tie notes are the fruits of leisure hours, in the evenings, snatched from my ether
occupations,
of
much serious reflection on the moral and socialand
condition of these people. They emanate ftom a sincere desire to better their condition, and beyond that,
I have
sought no reward whatever.
It is likely that I will soon withdraw myselfentirely
from 1 olynesia, but throughout life I will watch with
interest, the progress of civilization and Christianity
omongst a people whom I regard, so far »s civilization
is concerned, as essentialiy neophytes of
the Protestant fauh.

fiom it if I chose, in illustration of what the Missionaries have done lor the spiritual and temporal welfare
of the natives. On carefully perusing its contents, I
wss forcibly struck with the coincidence between many of his views, in 1838, and many to which reflection
had led me, in 1841. Hut I considered the paper too
valuable as a whole,and too honorable to the Missionaries, for me to mutilate it. I offer it, with permission,
lo you entire, in the belief that as your apace permits,
con may be induced to give it to the public, as it came
from the pen of the Rev. and talented writer.
1 observe that you intend publishing separately,
those Nos. of the riiond thut contuin my notes. I sincerely hope that you will at least find such a sale for
them, as to reimburse you for the extra expense, for
prilling that they have occasioned, so as not to encroach upon those means, which compared with the
wide field of your useful labors, are very small indeed.
Under feelings of the rinrcrcst respect and esteem, I,
remain. Rev. Sir, and friend,
Yours faithfully,
ROBERT CRICHTON WYI.I.IE.
To Ihe Rev. Samuel C. Damon, Seamen't
Chaplain and Editor of the Friend.

KAMEHAMEHA III,

I
the honor to dedicate to your
Majesty the Notes, on these Islands, their
population, religion, ugriculturc, and commerce, written by me, which have been
printed in successive numbers of the Friend,
beginning on the first of May last.
It is possible that I may have been misinformed on some matters of fact, and that
I mny have erred in many ofmy views. All
men are liable to mistakes, and to be led
away by their own theories or fancies; I
may have been so misled, to a
unknown to myself; if so, others will point
out my errors, and truths useful to your Majesty, your dominions, and your people, may
be elicted by their refutation.
One only credit I claim, and that is, for
the sincerity of my desire to aid in promoting the prosperity of these Islands, and the
happiness of their native inUabilunts.
That it may please the Almighty to permit you long to reign over a religions, sober, virtuous, contented and happy Jfcople,
is the earnest prayer of,

Mr. Coldwaterman:—One of the constant listeners to your valuable paper has
been much gratified with the numerous and
unanswerable arguments you are able to
bring forward in favor of Total Abstinence
principles. It is a subject which enlarges
the more it is thought upon. Arguments
for temperance and dissuasions from intemperance, multiply in a ten fold ratio the longer one practices the one and avoids the other. The reform has advanced so far, that
not a single writer of any respectability daro
come out and oppose the temperance reform.
Writers, so far as they employ their pens,
are all engaged upon the side of Total Abstinence principles. How changed are the
views of the public in Honolulu, in regard
to the degiading vice of drunkennesss. A
few years since it was so common for drunkards to be seen in the streets, that the disgusting sight occasioned no surprise. It is
not so now. Lately we lu-ard it reported
that the Master of a whale ship was seen
drunk in the streets. "Is it possible," says

other. S.nlnis too, are not so frequently
seen reeling through our streets. Says one,
1 saw a sailor drunk to-day, for the first
"time
during this shipping season." Says
another, " How regular that fellow
has been since he signed the pledge." The
mechanics and laboring class in Honolulu,
have risen more than 100 per cent, during
the last 18 months. They may have been
slow in coming to the conclusion that alcohol is not necessary to laboring men, but now
they are nobly practicing the principle. It

they are engaged in their various trades and

to health, reputation, and property, the traffic
does to others what no sane man would be willing that
others should do to him; that ho inflict* upou individuals and upon the community, deep, often fatal injury.
Here the case might be rested. No fairminded men, it
is believed, could fail to return a true verdict to condemn the traffic as immoral in a high degree. There

but is this true of him who traffics in intoxicating
drinks .' However it might once have been, in times of
comparative ignorance, can the man who in this age
ef light, deals in those drinks, either in wholesale or
ret lil, pray for a blessing on his business > The idea is
preposiorous. As wall might the assassin beseech Uod
to nerve his arm, and steel his heart for the blow he
contemplates giving his victim. And does the msn
who traffics in these drinks enjoy peace of conscience?
Does this inward monitor give an approving voice to
cheer him iv his toil by day and by night. in dealingout
the drunkards drink.' Does he feel self respect in his
business, and honest pride in being seen replenishing
tho empty jug or cask of his neighbor, or filling his
gloss, something as the farmer feels in being seen
swinging his sythe, or thrusting in his sickle? Is he
pioiiu of the fruits of hie labor, of the raged bloated,
noisy, profane, fighting,dirty creatures whom he turns
out of his shop late at night, to stsgger and bawl
through thestreets, or to lie at some corner in their
own vomit? Alss, slas, the conscience of the dealer
in intoxicating drinks too ofien becomes callous, and
ceases to do her otfico. It is true that she sometimes
troubles the man, as in the case of Mr. R.the merchant
of New York, who after the death of the 13th drunkard, who all died in one summer ofdrinking of his rum,
was often nfr.iid to be slone," and frequently urged
Docill to sleep with him "to keep the devil off."
Still, the men who traffic in these drinks do often contrive to stifle the voice ofconscience till near the close
of life—sometimes probably till they awake in eternity, where she becomes the undying worm! So of respectability. The traffic makes men sordid. It blunts
nil their finer feelings. They often lose the sense of
shame. The pest of gain crushes out their humanity,
and sense of honor, so that they glory in their business—glory in their shame! And doe* not this conflict

As a large proportion of these vessels
touched twice within tho year, or proceeded
from one port to another, and have been
computed in the estimates of each, it will
be necessary to deduct, say one third from

amounts as follows:
Cargoes and ships.

could have either a jury of half foreigners
and half natives, or foreigners alone, chuse
to be tried by the latter.
We also find that the Commercial Agent,
Mr. Hooper, culled upon the, Governor,
who, by custom, if not by law, sits ns Judge

the right he considered he had accorded to
him, by the King's speech and the precedent's at Lahaina —that the Governor pleaded ignorance of any such right, and referred
Mr Hooper to Dr. Judd, whose directions
the Governor had been in the habit of obeying—that the, Commercial Agent did call
upon Dr. Judd at his ollice, and Dr. Judd
not only made n objections to tho course
proposed by Mr. Hooper, but even assisted
him in forming a jury, he (Dr. Judd) objecting to some of the names in the list,
which Mr. Hooper had previously drawn

We also find by the correspondence, that the

General on Mr Hooper, and told him that
the privilege of nominating a jury would

Hooper finding that he could not convince
Dr. Judd that he was wrong, or induce the
Governor to grant the privilege, then laid
the whole matter before the Americun Commissioner.
We again find from this correspondence,that
.Air. Brown wrote a letter to Dr. Judd on
the 30th of August, wording it in such a manner, as to appear ignorant himself thut Dr.
Judd had been applied to, previously, for
his interference in the matter, and affording
him (to use Mr. Brown's words) "an excellent opportunity of withdrawing from the
untenable position he had taken."
To this letter a reply is made by Dr. Judd,
upholding the course of the Governor, upon
the sole around, that there is no existing treaty with the Lnitcd States, nnd saying that if
Mr. Brown desires to claim diplomatically

opponent of the temperance cause, who
thought lie could put it all dnwn by quoting
scripture. One very cold night he staid at

friend of the temperance cause; but. amid a
circle of yiiung friends he bore triumphantly
the palm as an anti temperance hern, by
showing from scripture that every creature
of God was good, and to be received with

During the lust year move than WO cor ies have monthly
been gratuitously scattered among So ti.cn visiting this
and otle'r ports on these I; lands. The principle of furnishing gratuitouslylo Seamen hay uniformly been pursued. This plan basso far commended itself to many,
that they havo voluntaiily contributed for the support
ofthe Fiiend. Some have given 2o cents ond others
several dollars. Whatever sums thus contributed, arc
fully expended in defraying tho noccssary expenses of
the publication; no charge being made for editorial
labor or the business-part of the concern ;—henoe it is
hoped Masters,Ofriceis, and bailors, will feel mi interest
id sustaining their Friend.
In the reading-room, (open at all hours ofthe day,)
at the Chapel, Seamen will find a vaiioty of pamphlets,

remote ftom Engl tad and (ho United States, that it \*

All Seamen, without regard lo their National Character, are most urgently invited to nttend the stated

The boats are admirably adapted for folthe sea as well as on the land, thisExtra makes its apup the fish, as thoy sail well, make

Monsters they are, indeed! Flora various imp ities ivc
learn that ihoy average about lODliarrels each. We
have heard of one ship that took a whale yielding 225
barrels! It is no matter of surprize that such huge
leviathans cf untunes strike tenor into the mind* ol

that a foreign boat occupies.
itime nnd space
They arc of different sizes; the smallest are
about threo tons, and the largest about
twenty-five, carrying two small boats on her
deck, and a crew of twelve men, of light
dialt of water and good length. On the
bow is a crooked piece of timber, supported
by a slnncheon, which serves as a rest for
the harpoon when not wanted; it enables Ihe
harpooner to stretch well over the bow, and
In

this position they are struck, for the weight
ofthe harpoon prevents its being thrown any
distance. Abaft the mainmast the deck is
rounded so as to form the roof of tho cabin;
on its top the whole line is coiled.
The harpoon has only one barb, and
about fifteen inches from the point of the
iron it is made with a socket; above which,
an eye is wrought, with a cord attached to
the iron, to which the whale line is fastened,
and stopped slack along tho wooden shaft,
so that when the fish is struck, the iron and
87
the line tightens, the shaft draws out, and
leaves less chance of the iron cutting out)
or loosing its hold ofthe skin ofthe fish-.
The whale line is made of native hemp,
and is about 60 or 70 fathoms long, and from
4 to 6 inches in circumference, according to
live size of the boat. Great length of line
is not' required by them* for there'is shoal
writer all along the const for many milesi to
seaward. One end of the line is. fastened
round the mainmast, the remainder is coiled
away on the top of the house, and carried
forward to the harpoon in the bow, where it
is made fast, leaving a few fathoms slack of
line.
Tho boats come out of tho different harbors at daylight, and spread tlicimjclves soon
all along the coast. As soon as a fish is
seen blowing,
Ihey go in chase. If.
fortunate enough to get it fast, tho sails are
lowered, the bight.of the line got aft, the
rtiddor unshipped, nnd the boat allowed to
tow stern foremost. The rest of the flei I
seeing the sail lowered, come op to assist;
and as the fish now keeps pretty much on
the surface in its struggle to get away, ihov
soon manage to fasten eight or ten harpoons
into it, and in a couple of hours or so it is
dead from wounds and the loss of blood.
They always strike the fish a little behind,
the blowhole, on the top ofthe back. When
the fish is dead, it is lashed alongside one
or two of the boats to float it, and to allow
tho others to make their lines fast to the
tail, and tow it on shore. It is sutprisin*;
that the boats are not stove in, or completely destroyed, from their manner of taking
the fish, i.e. sailing right over it and then
striking it; bul from the cool way in which
the Chinese manage the whole affair, I havno doubt that personal accidents occur more
seldom than with our fishermen. Their
greatest dnnger is when two or three whale,
are struck t» gether in the same place, ami
swim round und over each other, so as ti»
foul tho lines. The boats are then drawi.
against each other and over the fish, and
run great risk of being soon swamped nnd
Move in pieces. In one instance of this sort
that fell under my observation, they had
three of their boats swamped, but managed
to clear the lines, and kill the fish in a most
dexterous-manner; after which, some of tho
spare boats returned and towed the damaged bouts on shore. They had no Ititicen in
their boats, nor in fact any other weapon
except the harpoons, which they refused to
sell ut any price. All tho boats bnd pat! i
of the whale's flesh salted, which they uncias provisions. They refused to give an;
account of what use they made of the fish,
and in general were not disposed to be ver
civil to strangers, which might ari;e frtr.t
jealosy, or a fear of our interfering with
their fishery. The fish are, 1 believe, what
whalers call tho right whule, and were calculated hy those on boaid to yield on an.
average 50 barrel, of oil each.

In accordance with these instructions it has ever been
our aim to act: hence seamen and residents have been
invited to meet for public worship in the chapel. Let
no one suppose that the chaplain ha* been indifferent
to making c. cry accommodation in his power for hearers. Ho has fiom time to time proposed measures for
the location of the hearers. Among reasonable and
candid persons we honestly think that no misunderstanding should exist. Let it be fully underttood that
teat* are free whether cuthioned or not; that teamen have the right and privilege to occupy any teat;
but to prevent confution, and ditorder, let teamen
occupy the left hand tide on entering, and retidtntt the
right hand tide. When the number of seamen in port
is few, then there is no objection lo residents being
sealed on the left hand side. It requires, we are satisfied, but a little of the true spirit of conciliation and
the love ofaccommodation, to seat alfsuch as love the
worship of God. We desire seimen to ever bear in
mind that the chapel was built for them, and that the
chaplain has received a commission to preach to them
the gospel of Jesus Christ; and we wish residents fully
to understand that they are cordially and freely invited
to take seals in that chapel up n the Subhuth, until
they are provided with some other more convenient
place for public worship. Whenever in the provident*
of God that time shall arrive, the prayers and the
benediction of the seamen's chaplain shall go with
them.
