Where these peculiar ruins are found, the distance from the land to the encircling reef is not halfa mile. Coral flats, slightly higher than low water mark, occupy the whole space. Sonic of the islets are regular parallelograms, fifty feet and upwards in length others are very irregularly trilateral, quadrilateral, or polylatcral, covering, in some instances, several acres. They are so arranged in relation to each other that canal-like apace! intervene, mi an avenge perhaps twelve feet wide, through which the title ebbs and flows. At the junction ol canals or streets from tlillerent directions, they often widen out to many along the shore. In several of the excessively rocky parts, as on the eastern slopes of the Jckoits Island, large bodies of stone are piled up in every imaginable arrangement, forming long walks, embankments, solid squares, and irregular enclosures. 2. Scattered over every portion of the island, with the possible exception of only the mountainous central peaks, arc walls arranged in squares or parallelograms, sometimes a wall within a wall, and often enclosing a pile of well laid stone, in which a small vault may generally be found. These squares arc of every size, from two or three yards to ten or fifteen rods. The walls are of all heights, sometimes scarcely more than a continuous line of stones, and at times five or six feet high, and in one noted case (that shall lie particularly described in connection with the next class of structures) they arc more than twenty feet in height The materials are principally irregular basaltic rocks, occasionally basaltic prisms intermixed, and oft times coral stones fill up the interstices. In some few instances an outer wall encloses an inner. If the walls be of any height an entrance, four or five feet in width, is almost always to he found very near the center of one of the aides. And when there is a double wall, a passage in the enclosed wall exactly corresponds to that in the outer. In many cases near the center of the enclosed space, rather to the side farthest from the entrance, and sometimes quite in one of the remote corners, an apparently solid square of stones will be found, from three to six feet high, and from twelve to fifteen feet in length and breadth, in which is a rude vault about six feet long, three to six feet broad, anil from three to five feet deep. Long, broad stones from the roof of the vault, and often, immediately before the entrance through the the outer wall, an obsolete opening into the vault will be seen, which has been carefully filled up in a way that shows it was done after the original walls of the vault were built. It is sometimes impossible to find a vault in (his central square, yet not often. An entrance to the vault can usually be effected with comparative ease from the top, though that is most palpably not ihe original intent. Human bones, far advanced in decomposition, arc not (infrequently to be found in these vaults, with ornaments, such as were no doubt once used by the inhabitants, and that are much like (hose still valued by the natives not only of Ponape, hut of most Micronesian islands both to the east and west. 3. In one locality on the eastern shore of Ponape, at the mouth of the Metalaniin harbor, on the coral flats between the encircling reef and land, a number of artificial islets are so arranged over the space of perhaps a square half mile, that the appearance is such as the submerged foundations of a modern city with no superstructures might present. These arc the ruins" first discovered by a sailor named O'Connell, in a small volume cntided his " Adventures," and spoken of in Hale's Keporton Ethnography and Philology, connected with the U. S. Ex. Ex. So much of the irreconcilably and egregiously incorrect is mixed with O'Connell's narrative, not " only regarding the ruins, but concerning ; yards. The unvarying structure of these islets is an outer edging or facing of basaltic rocks, chiefly prisms, while tin- whole enclosed area is filled up with closely parked coral stone, to the level of the top of the basaltic wall, which is one, two, or three feet above high water mark. In hut very few cases is this skeleton of the islets crumbled. On several of the islets there are walls of the same structure as thus'- before described, forming enclosures, both with and without central vaults. This whole assemblage of isk ts is now overgrown with vegetation. Some of the larger islets are occupied by bread fruit and cocoanul tiers; the rest, together with lan;.. portions of the canals, are enshrouded with the mangrove. Till within the memory of tome living in 1862, the whole of this locality was densely populated, with the exception of the most sacred spots, and no mangroves were allowed in intrude. A lew inhabitants are still to be found there. On one ol the islets, named Pankalera, where some of the must Important religious ceremonies of the tribe arc several times a year performed, a sort of paved way, laid with broad stones, some of them having a peculiar central depression, leads to a spot peculiarly sacred, over which a small shod is erected. Near by are several low walls, forming more or less decided squares, at different points of which religious ceremonies are, at stated seasons performed. There are ■even! other sacred islets where ceremonies are at times celebrated, and where low walls or pavements can be .seen li\- thus., who ilarc venture in. In the canals, at several different places, are stones of peculiar shapes, one of which is called a turtle, one an ear nrnimeiit, one a wooden trough, and one an instrument for pounding food, all of which are connected with mythological tales. I will not more particularly notice any of the islets, save that one named Nantoaj, the most singular and astonishing one of the whole number, from the structures erected upon it. It was the structures on this islet alone that were briefly and accurately described by the Rev. Mr. Clark, and for the first time delineated by Mr. J. T. Gulick, in the Friend of Dec. 17, 1852, Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. I copy a description of them, written by Mr. J. T. Gulick, October, 1852, and ultimately laid before the American Geographical Society : " They present a front of 160 feet, and arc over 150 feet in length, from cast to west, occupying a little islet about an acre in exThe foundation platform, which consists of coral stones with a basaltic facing, rises about eight feet above low water mark. On the west side, the walls, which are about 20 feet high, are placed back from the edge of the foundation works, leaving a platform 15 feet wide ; hut on each of the other sides tent. the face of the wall corresponds with the buttress, presenting a perpendicular front 128 feet above the water Except on the front, or western end, the walls are not only overtopped by large trees, but are even buried in the green foliage of ferns and hushes and long hanging vines. They appear (Hike perfect, except in one place on (he north side, where, for the space of a rod or two, the wall has given way on the inside, though the outer face is perfect, ami also on the north side western entrance. A broken place in the platform on the front side affords an easy ascent, and an entrance 15 feet in width opens through the walls to the structures within. " At this place we entered antl spent two hours or more in exploring the vaults, measuring the walls ami securing specimens of the prismatic formations, which are almost the only kind of stone found in the walls. Many of the prisms arc over ten feet in length, having live, six and seven sides— the live-siiled ones being the most abundant. One that we measured was eighteen feet in length ami about two feet in diameter, having six sitles. hi constructing the walls, the Stones of one tier have been laid parallel with the line of the wall, anil those of the next transversely. The smallest prisms were three or lour inches in diameter. "Within the outer bulwarks is another enclosure, with 75 feet front and 95 feet depth. It has a foundation platform of its own, on which its walls ami the main central vault are built This platform ia 8 feet above the main foundation on which the outer walls stand, and „ 100 feet broad by 127, which leaves a walk around the enclosure 20 feet wide on the eastern side, and 12 feet above the platform, which leaves the top but a foot or two lower than that of the outer walls. "The lower part of the outer wall is IS feet thick on the west side, and 11 on the " Other sides; but at a height corresponding with that of the foundation of the inner eniliiMiiv, the wall is narrowed, leaving a walk 8 feet wide around the- inner side. Above this, the walls are 10 feet thick in front, ami 0 on the other sides. Besides the wide entrance on (he west side, there is a little passage about 5 feet wide and 4 high through the wall on the south, and a similar one on the north side. The inner walls are built on the same plan as the outer ones—the lower part being ten feet thick, and the upper but five. They arc however finished differently at the top, for the last two or three courses of stones, jut beyond the face of the wall forming a. cornice about 2 feet wide on the outer side. The entrance is on the west side, directly in front of the first one, and of about the same width. In the center is a pile of stone-work 12 paces square at the bottom, and 8 or 9 feet in height. Two surrounding platforms, each a yard in width, divide the ascent to the top into three steps. The top is about 24 feet square. Within (his structure is a vault; " �and on the west sitlc, directly in front of the gateway, there seems to have once been i door-way leading into it, which i„ now strongly blocked up. A narrow entrance has however been opened at the top through which we descended, and found ourselves in a dark cell 8 feet deep, and 11 by 10 in length ami breadth. The only light that reached us entered through the cracks between the long prisms that are laid across over head. The foreigners told us that coral a once formed a pavement on the floor ■oflone the vtull, hut within 10 or 15 years they have been torn up by captain! searching for relics. They say that in WIS ('apt. Chus. Collin, of the ship Ohio, Nantucket, and Capt E. B. Shimian, of the Marcus, Fairhaven, visited the vaults together, and took from it several human bones of gigantic Si/''. " We entered two other vaults, which were outside of the inner walls in the foundation platform, ami not marked by any building above —one on the north, the other cm the south side. We were told that Air. Dudoit, who is now on the Sandwich Islands, took two silver crucifixes from the vault on the south side. Besides the vaults we entered there is one outside of the inner wall, on the east side. We were told of ten others, but their existence is very problematical." It is only necessary to add to the above description that about the islet, on its seaward, noi'th-easterii, aspects, are several low enclosing walls, one without the other at varying distances, the outermost of which is distant from the islet, perhaps (100 feet, and runs so close to the edge of the Hals that a vessel might almost ride alongside of it. TBI BUILDERS or Tlir.SE STRUCTURES. I unhesitatingly acquiesce in the opinion of the Key. fir. Clark, of the Sandwich Islands, and of Mr. Hale, of the United Slates Exploring Expedition, that none but an uncivilized race ofpeople built thesevarious structures on Ponape. The idea that buccaneers, or Spaniards of any character, erected any part of them is the result of a pure exercise of an undisciplined imagination. It is palpable that the race who built any portion of these structures, built the whole; if Spaniards built any, they built all. And more, if Spaniards built any of these Ponape wonders, they also built all those that are to be found on probably every "high" island of Micronesia those certainly on Kusaia (Ualau, or Strong's Island), on Yap, andeven onTinian. Whatever may be reported in print by Capt. Fisher (as found in tin: Annual of Scientific Discovery ol 1553, quoted from the Vineyard Gazette), and verbally by others, of a splendid 'modern "city" in ruins on Tinian, of the Ladrone Islands, we must, till their reports are very much more fully confirmed, continue to deem those structures nearly allied in character and origin to all that have yet been discovered in Micronesia, evidently the handiwork of a numerous, active, architectural, but uncivilized race. Even D'Urville, in his description of the ruins on Strong's Island, utters not a suspicion that civilised talents were — /. l» (. tN T, 185 7. portion of the centuries they have more or [c a actively navigated these seas. How differenl they would have been from anything we find on Ascension Island, need not more than be alluded to. The silvei crucifixes and Spanish dollars found ill one of the vaults at Nantoaj, with a pair of silver dividers, and a brass cannon, found long since on the south side of the island ; together with the tradition that a boat's crew once landed there with shins (probably coats of mail) BO thick that the only mode of killing them was to pierce their eyes, only prove that Spaniards, or people like them, have been here. It is now three centuries since the Spaniards discovered (iuani. It immediately became their "halfway house" between their South American colonies and East Indian possessions. For more than two centuries they traversed the seas most actively,andQuerosaprobably disCOVi red this very island in 1595. It would have been passing Strange bad none of them ever stranded on this island, mid so brought the few relics found. But again, it seems to me as certain i it it was the ancestors of the present race, as that it was not Spaniards, who built these Ponapean structures. The present, race are fully competent to everything found, and arc most intimately connected with them by traditions and religious customs. Why then multiply causes, when the one most palpable, and immediately before us ia more than sufficient? But it is objected (1), that the present race is not competent —that the inhabitants are too lew. too indolent, and have no capacity or talent for such labors. That they are at present too few and feeble is undoubted. They now number on this island about 5000. Yet three years since there were not far from 10,000; and twenty years since there were probably 20,000 or 25,000; and a century since, it is probable, from traditions, that their numbers were even still greater. They are now divided into live tribes, but it is certain from well-expressed tradition, that this is but a modern division. That they are too indolent is equally true at the present time. But they were not always thus. The depressingand enervating influences of toliacco, and ruin and foreign disease, take the life out of every people, and palpably doing so to this people year by year. There is the most positive evidence that in other departments of labor, the degeneracy of this people is even more marked are most than in that of building with stone. Their canoes and houses, and various utensils of past times if now seen, would scarce be supposed to be formed by the present race. That the present inhabitants have no talent or taste for laying stone is quite a mistake. They lay stone most admirably. The foundations of their houses to this day are of stone. They are of course laid by the eye, yet the angles are square, and the faces plumb when any care is exercised. They are, most emphatically, to this day, a stonelaying people, perhaps even as much so as the inhabitants of Strong's Island, who, at least till very recently, rebuild the walls demanded for their erection. about a chiefs house on the death of any Hut it will be sufficient to confine our at- member of his family. tention to the ruins on Ponape alone. We Two large buildings have been erected on well know the general character of structures this island within three years that serve Spaniards would have erected during any much to correct the notion that this people, 59 TII X ¥Itl X N l>, when much more numerous, and when united iiniler one head, could not have built even the moat enormous of the structures now bund of ancient dates. One was a building 60 feet long, by 40 wide, on a solid stone foundation four feet high, erected by the Nanakin of the Kiti tribe. The other was also a private residence built by the then King of the Mctalanim tribe in the northern limits of his tribe. It has a double foundation ; the first is a solid platform of stone 100 feet by .'lO, and eight feet high. The second foundation is a second solid platform, built on tod of the first, itO feet long, 20 feet wide, and S feet high. The followingextract from Key.Mr. Doane's journal, while natives were engaged in laying a Ponape foundation of his house on Jckoits is testimony exactly to the point. " 1 was not a little interested with the earnestness with which they worked. Surely, if there were fifteen or twenty thousand natives on the island, they could accomplish any piece of work they undertook. The way in which i specially the stones, very large ones, were laid bold of and brought to the place, suggested to my mind a sullicient explanation of the structure of the large ruins on this island. Supposing at some past time the population may have been 20,000, and this large number controlled by religious zeal, and powerful, ambitious chiefs, I think, fr om the way natives to-day took hold of the large stones requiring five or six men to carry one, the work on these ruins can readily be accounted lor. All that is needed is some powerful will to command." Says the Rev. Mr. Sturgess in the Journal of Missions, August, 1856: "Some have supposed these walls were for defence, and that they were the work of a more civilized people than now live here. 1 see no necessity for either, as the whole would seem to be of use in the religious rites of the present natives; and there is nothing about them requiring any more skill than is found among this people. The only wonderful thing is, that so much labor should have been performed without machinery." It is also objected (2), that this people have no knowledge of the builders of these structures, have, no traditions concerning them, and that they have nothing whatever to connect them with the ruins themselves. This objection is founded on as total misapprehensions as the first. They have many a tradition concerning them. They unhesitatingly say the "Ani" built them, and Hale most correctly conjectures that " when the natives say these structures were raised by 'hand,' or 'animau' (spirits), they may be merely referring them to their ancestors, the actual builders." They not only " may be," but most certainly are. It is true that some of their " ani," or spirits, are self-existent; but the great mass, antl those that receive the most immediate worship, are but deceased ancestors, and every person of every age and grade, immediately after death, even before burial, is termed an ani. I will reserve to another paper a detailed notice of some of the most interesting of these traditions. There are not howeveronly traditions connected with these ruins, but a large number, if not all, of the stated religious ceremonies are connected with them, and are performed in or by them.

After visiting Strong's Island, and Ascension, it is somewhat uncertain what her cruise may be, but the probability is, that she will visit llogolen Island, to the westward, and returning, cruise among the Mulgmve Islands, to the eastward—thence visit Strong's Island, and Ascension, take ln-r departure for Honolulu, leaving on Ol about January 1, 1958, and arriving on or about March 1st.

He trained the boy to worship the gods ami stand up in awe and abhorrence ol the devils, but never mentioned women to him and always descended the mountain alone to buy food. At length, however, the infirmities ofage compelled him to take the young man with him to carry the heavy bag of rice. As they were leaving the market town together, the son evidently stopped short, and pointing to three approaching objects cried— Father what are these thing* I Look' ! look! what are they ?' The lather answered with a peremptory order—'Turn away your head, they are devils!' The son ill some alarm turned away, noticing that the evil things were gazing at him from behind their fans. He walked to the mountain lop in silence, ate no supper, and from that day lost bis appetite ami was afflicted with melancholy.

While others were shedding tears, and natives wailing because about to part for a season with their teacher, I was happy, experiencing no cares, no sorrows, but stationed myself at the stern of the vessel, where I was soon busily engaged in fishing. I had little idea of what was before me as to what would be my course of life. I have no reason to believe that I then exercised a hopeful faith in Christ, and I went forth with no definite object in view—the general idea that I was "going to America" was the absorbing theme.
