With the new year, we commence the
fiifteenth volume of the Friend. It is the
policy of many newspaper-publishers to alter,
change, and (if their means will allow) enlarge the dimensions of their sheet, from year
to year. Our plan has been to make as few
changes as possible, but maintain the even
tenor of our ways, furnishing our readers such
an amount of useful and entertaining matter,
as the state of our finances would allow.
With the close of the year we rejoice to find
the Friend out of debt! Would that all its
readers could say as much! The generous
response to our appeal enables us to announce
this favorable state of our finances. All contributors have our sincere thanks, and our
seafaring readers may rest assured that, in
return, we shall scatter our little sheet broadcast over the ocean.
Thinking it may not be uninteresting to
some of our readers, we propose, during this
year, to publish a series of articles upon Hawaiian

1809-1810. This is an old and rare volume,
and the copy in our possession is the only

We rejoice to announce that this institution will be again opened on Wednesday, the
13th inst. The return of President Beckwith, and his report, inspire the friends of
the institution with the confident assurance
that the ultimate success of the enterprise is
morally certain. Although the financial difficulties at present existing in the United
States, prevented the completion of the endowment, still the way is prepared for its
future prosecution. In the mean time, the
American Board of Commissioners assume
the support of the institution. The new appointment of Mr. Dc Witt Alexander as a
Professor in the College, meets with general
favor. He is remembered as a promising,
youthful student, and, while connected with.
Vale College, acquired a most enviable
reputation as a young man of ripe scholarship. His arrival' is anticipated by the next
California vessel. Every friend of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the cause of learning
and education must earnestly wish for the
success of Oahu College. Its influence will
be electing and ennobling upon our youth
and the community.
With the close of the year terminates
"the engagement of Mr. Bicknell as Colporteur, under the patronage of the Hawaiian
Tract Society. At a late meeting of the
Society, he read an interesting repot of his
labors. Having been brought into close contact with him, in efforts to do good among
seamen, it affords us great pleasure to speak
of his modest and unwearied labors to benefit
his fellow-men. We understand that he is
making arrangements to return to Marquesas
and resume his self-denying labors among
that people, whenever an opportunity occurs.

the first opportunity. Mr. Bicknell has been

We passed the foot of Mouna-kaa, one of

Mouna-roa, one of the mountains in the interior, is a volcano; a few years before this
time a violent eruption took place, when it
sent forth a stream of lava which ran into
the sea. Isaac Davfc, with whom I afterwards resided, and who had gone in a canoe
to witness it, informed me that where the
lava joined the sea, the heat was so intense
that he could not approach nearer than fifty
yards. We did not see any flame or smoke
issuing from the crater.

Maccallum informed me that it was very fertile ; that provisions were abundant, and
much cheaper than at either Owyhee or
Wahoo.
We weighed on the morning of the 29th,
and passing between the islandfcof Morokai
and Ranai, reached the harbor ojTlanaroom,
on the south side of Wahoo, the same evening.
A number of natives came off, as usual,
the moment the ship hove in sight. King
Tamaahmaah was in a large double canoe;
on his coming alongside, he sent his interpreter on board to announce his arrival.
The captain immediately went to the
gangway to receive his majesty, and shook
hands with him when he came upon deck.
He was, on this occasion, dressed as a
European, in a blue coat and gray pantaloons.
Immediately on his coming aboard, the
king entered into earnest conversation with
the captain. Amongst other questions, he
asked whether the ship was English or
American. Being informed that she was
Russian, he answered " Meitei, meitei," or,
very good. A handsome scarlet cloak, edged
and ornamented with ermine, was presented
to him from the governor .of the Aleutian
Islands. After trying it on, he gave it to his
attendants to be taken on shore. I never
saw him use it afterwards. In other canoes
came Tamena, one of his queens, Crymakoo,
his brother-in-law, and other chiefs of inferior
rank.
My appearance attracted the notice, and
excited the compassion of the queen; and
finding it was my intention to remain upon
the islands, she invited me to take up my
residence in her house. I gladly availed
myself of this offer, at which she expressed
much pleasure; it being a great object of
ambition amongst the higher ranks to have
white people to reside with them. When
the ship was brought to anchor, she sent mc
ashore in one of her canoes.
Captain Hapemeister recommended me at
the same time to the notice of the King, by
informing him, that I could not only make
and repair the sails of his vessels, but also
weave the cloth of which they were made.
The king assured him that I should be
treated with the utmost kindness. It will be
seen in the sequel how well he performed his
promise.
Upon landing I was much struck with the
beauty and fertility of the country, so different from the barrenness of the Fox islands.
The village of Hanaroora, which consists of
several hundred houses, is well shaded with
large cocoa-nut trees. The king's residence,
built close upon the shore, and surrounded by
a pallisade upon the land side, was distinguished by the British tokdfend a battery

ship , the Lilly Bird,
unrigged in the harbor. This palace consisted merely of a range of huts, viz.: the king's
eating-house, his sleeping-house, the queen's
house, a store, powder-magazine, and guardhouse, with a few huts for the attendants, all
constructed after the fashion of the country.
At a short distance were two extensive
store-houses, built of stone, which contained
the European articles belonging to the king.
I was conducted to the house occupied by
�the two queens. It consisted of one large
apartment, spread with mats; at one end of
which the attendants of both sexes slept, and
at the other the queens occasionallay slept
when the king was in the morai.
They and their attendants always eat here,
and Tamena wished me to join them ; but as
I had been informed by Crymakoo, that if I
did so, I should not be allowed to eat with
men, I resolved to decline her offer.
The Neva remained in the harbor three
months, during which time I ate my victuals
on board. At the end of that period, having
completed a cargo of provisions.consisting of
salted pork and dried taroroot, she sailed for
Kodiakand Kamschatka. I was then invited by the king to take my meals in his eating-house, and at the same time he desired a
young American, of the name of William
Moxely, a native ofNorfork in Virginia, who
understood thelanguage, to eat along with me,
to act as my interperter. The king's mode of
life was very simple; he breakfasted at eight,
dined at noon, and suppered at sunset.
His principal chiefs being always about his
person, there were generally twenty or thirty
persons present; after being seated upon mats
spread on the floor, at dinner a dish of poi, or
taro
pudding,
was set before each of them,
which they ate with their fingers, instead of
spoons. This fare, with salt fish and consecrated pork from the morai, formed the whole
of the repast, no other food being permitted in
the king's house. A plate, knife and fork,
with boiled potatoes, were, however, always
set down before Moxely and me, by his majesty's orders.
He concluded his meal by drinking half a
glass of rum ; but the bottle was immediately
sent away, the liquor being tabooed, or interdicted to his guests. The breakfast and supper consistediC fish and sweet potatoes.

The
house, and even to his food, formed a remarkable contrast to the simplicity of his mode of
Iving.
Whenever he passed, his subjects were
obliged to uncover theirheads and shoulders.
The same ceremony took place upon their entering, or even passing his residence; and
every house which he entered was ever after
honored with the same marks of respect.
Once, when employed in the house of Issac
Davis, making a loom for the king, I observed
him passing, and being ignorant of this custom, requested him to enter and observe my
progress ; but he declined doing so, informing
me of the consequence. He, therefore, seated
himself at the door, till I brought out mywork for his inspection.
When his food was carrying from the cooking-house, every person within hearing of the
call N.oho, or sit down, given by the bearers,
was obliged to uncover himself, and squat
down on his bßMis.
This ceremav was particularly inconvenient when the water used in the king's house
was carried past; there being none of a good
quality near Hanaroora, it was necessary to
bring it from the mountains, a distance offive
miles. The calabash carriers were obliged,
when any person appeared in sight, to call
out Noho. They, however, ran past as quick
as they could, not to detainhis majesty's subjects in so unpleasant an attitude.

IRE FRIEND,
these honors, though scrupulously exacted
from the natives.
Tamaahmaah was most attentive in performing the duties of religion, and constantly
attended the morai on the taboo days, which
took place about four times eachmonth. The
ceremonies lasted one day and two nights ;
during which time no person was permitted
to pass the bounds of the morai.

as at other times ; theattendants becaß Jary

sometimes obliged to go without it altogether.
I accompanied the king once to the morai;
but not relishing the confinement, and being
unwilling to make complaints, I removed,
about the beginning of May, to the house of
Isaac Davis, a Welshman, who had been
about twenty years upon the island, and remained with him till the king gave me a
grant of land about six months afterwards.
Mr. Davis arrived at the Sandwich Islands
as mate of a small American schooner. The
captain, a very young man, having incautiously permitted the natives to go on board,
without any restriction, a chief, of the name
of Tamahmotoo, observing this, planned her
capture. For which purpose a numberof natives, under various pretences, crowded into
the vessel, and, upon a signal being given,
threw the whole crew, five in number, into
the sea. Davis, being an excellent swimmer,
laid hold of one of the canoes, from which,
however, he was beat off by paddles. He
swam to another, where the natives also attempted to beat him off; but being a stout,
athletic man, he was able to keep his hold.
Having no arms, they attempted to put him
to death, by holding him under the water,
and beating him with their paddles; and also
endeavored to strangle him, by placing his
neck across one of the beams of the canoe,
and trampling upon him. But by this time
the rest of the crew having been, destroyed,
and the schooner taken possessidri df, they
relented, and ceased to torment him any farther. He was carried ashore blind, and
almost lifeless, and it was eighteen months
before he recovered his sight. He told me,
that, before this time, he had never believed
in the existence of God, and had led a very
sinful life; that, upon the near prospect of
death, the idea of his offencesfilled him with
terror; and that he tried to repeat the Lord's
Prayer, and felt himself strengthened after
doing so.
treated with much greater confidence than
any of the native chiefs. Davis had extensive grants of land on several of the islands.
Upon Wahoo alone he had estates on which
were four or five hundred people, who cultivated the land, and paid him a rent in kind.
These were exempted from the taxes paid by
the other chiefs for their lands; but Davis
frequently made the king presents of feather
cloaks, and other valuable articles.
He was married to a native woman, by
whom he had no children. By a former
wife he had three, two of whom were left
under the charge of Mr. Young of Owhyhee.
His house was distinguished from those of
the natives only by the addition of a shed in
front to keep off the sun; within, it was
spread with mats, but had no furniture, except two benches to sit upon. He lived very
much like the natives, and had acquired such
a taste for poe, that he preferred it to any
other food. We had, however, at all timea,
abundance of pork, goat's flesh, and mutton,
and frequently beef sent by Young from
Owhyhee, and in the mornings and evenings
we had tea. His wealth, consisting of mats,
feathers and cloth, the produce of the island,
and a large assortment of European articles,
which he had acquired by trading with the
ships that touched here ; these were contained in a large storehouse, built of stone, adjoining his dwelling.
My first employment was to overhaul the
sails of the king's vessels, and to repair such
as were out of order. After working two or
three months at this, he desired me to make
island.
These two constantly attached themselves
to Tamaahmaah ; and, from their knowledge
of fire-arms, proved of essential service in the
expeditions in which he conquered Mowee,
Morotoi and Wahoo.

They were rewarded, by being raised to
the rank of chiefs, and received extensive
grants of land.

Davis accompanied him, and he left Young
