A Visit to the State Reform School in

Westboro', Massachusetts.
Key. S. C

Damon— Dear Sir: —Among
the many noble monuments of private benevolence which our State exhibits, perhaps
the noblest is the State Reform School. This
institution was established in 1848. Its object was the reformation of juvenile offenders,
by taking those who would otherwise be subjected to the degradation of prison discipline,
and separating them from vicious influences;
teaching them their duty to God and their
fellow-beings; preparing them to earn an
honest livelihood ; and giving them such an
intellectual education as would fit them properly to discharge the common business of
life. A wealthy philanthropist, whose name
was unknown until his death, who had long
seen the necessity for such an institution,
having offered to contribute the means for
the purchase of the land and the erection of
the necessary buildings, the State commenced
the work. A beautiful site was selected in
the pleasant village of Westboro', on the borders of Chancery Pond, a lovely sheet of
water, and commanding a fine view of the
country round. A noble building was erected capable of accommodating 300 boys, with
the officers. The Police Magistrates were
instructed to send to this school boys under
16 years of age, who were convicted of petty
crimes, and especially those who seemed to
be under no good parental or other discipline,
instead of sentencing them to the common
prison, which generally made confirmed
rogues of them. The experiment was a moat
successful one—the boys were placed under
a mild, but firm, system of government and
discipline, well fed and clothed, well employed and taught, and the beneficial effects were
soon plainly perceptible, and, though the
State made liberal appropriations for the support of the school, not one-half the boys could
be accommodated. In 1850, the Honorable
Theodore Lyman died, and it was then ascertained that he was theunknown benefactor and

�10

TIE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1859.

founder of this noble institution. By his will,
he left 850,000, in addition to his former
donation of 822,500, to the school. The
building was then enlawed to double its former capacity, and now presents a noble front
of nearly 400 feet, with a depth of 200 feet,
forming a hollow square, which makes the
play-ground. The natural beauties of the
location are increased by cultivation, and it
is one of the most attractive-looking places in
the State. A fine farm of 200 acres is attached to the school, where such of the boys
who prefer agricultural to mechanical pursuits
are employed in working hours. About 600
boys are here fed, clothed, educated and employed, and a large proportion of these carry
with them the good habits thus acquired into
active life, and become useful men and good
citizens, who would, but for its saving influence, have continued depraved and dishonest.
Could the means of the commonwealth, or
the private charities of the wealthy, be dispensed for a more important or noble purpose ?
I visited this flourishing institution a few
days since with a party of friends, and was
well repaid for the time thus spent. As we
approached the edifice by the beautiful road
on the borders of the pond, we saw a party of
boys in the school uniform enjoying themselves in a sail-bont. On the other side of us
another party were at work in the fields.
Driving up to tKe principal entrance, we were
shown into the reception-room. While waiting here, a police officer came in with a new
subject for discipline—a youth of about 12
years—who burst into tears as he parted from
his conductor, and followed the chaplain to
his new quarters. He evidently felt both
home-sick and penitent.
Mr. Stan, the
Superintendent, soon made his appearance,
and under his guidance, we were conducted
over the building. I was struck with the
perfect order, neatness and apparent system
everywhere observable. The dormitories, of
which there are two, each containing about
300 beds—the sheets, pillows and counterpanes of sunny whiteness—are well arranged
and ventilated. The centers of these large
and lofty apartments are occupied by " standee berths," as they are called aboard packets,
of three tiers, for the younger boys, the larger
ones occupying small rooms, each containing
a small iron beadstead, of which there are
also three tiers opening out upon a railed iron
gallery. These rooms are locked at night,
and can be seen from the bed of the teacher,
in the center of the apartment. There are
eight school-rooms, each containing desks for
seventy scholars. The chapel is a very large
and neat room, of sufficient capacity to seat
all the inmates of the establishment, and the
teachers and visitors who come from the village. There are several work-rooms, which
are leased to manufacturers ofshoes, chairs,
fee., who employ the boys, peying for their

labor—one room is devoted to tailoring, and
here the clothing of the boys is made up;
nearly all the boys appeared cheerful and
contented, and all orderly and neat. In one
room, the smallest boy were knitting stockings, under the supervision of a good-natured
looking damsel, who was patiently explaining
to one of them thp mysteries of the art.
Here our sympathies, especially those of the
fairer and gentler portion of our party, were
much excited at the sight of a boy of about
eight years, who was sitting in his little
chair, with, a newly begun stocking in his
hand, sobbing as if his heart was breaking,
while the big tears rapidly coursed each other
down his woe-begone face ; on enquiry, we
learned that he had been sent there that day,
and was suffering from home-sickness —that
terrible, though not fatal, disease with which
children are often afflicted when sent away
from home to any school. His offence (which
would be a most venial one in the eyes of
Hawaiian youth) was an incorrigible propensity for riding or driving horses, which had
become so ungovernable that, though often
arrested for the offence, he could not resist
the temptation of taking possession of any
horse or vehicle he saw standing in the street,
and having a good ride. This being somewhat inconvient to the owners, especially to
physicians, could not be allowed, and all other
means having failed, the little jockey was
sent to this school, where, under its discipline,
he might learn the difference between meum
and tuum. If he behaves well he may be
rewarded by being put in charge of the school
team, which those boys who have deserved
the reward, are allowed to drive to the village. An inspection of the dining-room and
cooking departments satisfied me that, so far
as good living was concerned, the majority of
the boys were much better off here than at
home. Bread, of snowy whiteness, light and
sweet, rice cooked by steam in boilers almost
as large as trypots, savory beef and vegetable
soup, diffusing a most appetizing odor, gave
satisfactory evidence that this was no " Do
the boys Hall," but that even the warring
apetites of 600 rapidly growing boys, would
here be appeased. The laundry department
was equally well arranged and conducted.
The washing is done by the boys under the
direction ofa female "artist," in tubs heated
by steam, which is used now in all domestic
operations. The building is about being
heated by steam and lighted with gas, the
works for which are now in progress.
The boys are generally sent here for the
period of their minority, the trustees however
having the right to discharge such as give
evidence of thorough reformation, or of binding them out as apprentices.
The importance of such an institution as
this in a crowded community can hardly be
over-estimated. There can be no doubt but

that, in the majority of cases, the detection
and sentence which has brought the boy un-

der its

saving

influences will prove to be the

providential event of his life. A perusal of some of the many letters from boys
who have left the school, and those from their
parents or employers, will satisfy the most
skeptical on this subject. One instance alone
that was related to me is worth the whole
expense of the establishment. A boy was
sent here for robbery, who was an educated
English pickpocket, and an adept at his profession. He might have sat for the picture
of Dickens' pupil of Fagin in Oliver Twist.
He was born and brought up a thief. For a
long time after his arrival he seemed incorrigible, and utterly insensible to all good influences around him, giving the officers much
trouble, and exerting a pernicious influence
over the other boys. But, after his improvement was despaired of, he suddenly determined to reform, and, being a boy of remarkable energy and talent, his progress was wonderfully rapid. He devoted himself to his
work and his studies, and won the esteem of
all by his good conduct. He has been discharged as fully reformed, and is now laboring to earn money to pay for a college education, employing his evenings in hard study.
Though he has repeatedly been offered ample
means to complete his education, by gentlemen who have become interested in him, he
refuses all pecuniary aid, and is patiently
carrying out his noble resolution. That boy
will probably become an eminent man, and a
most

life of virtue and usefulness will be the result
of his being sent to this institution, but for
which he would, doubtless, have grown up a

hardened and desperate villain.
The school is divided into four grades—
into the third of which each boy is placed on
entering. If his conduct is bad, afteradmonition, he is degraded, as a punishment, to the
fourth. Il good, he is promoted to the second,
and so on to the first. There is also a subdivision of the Ist grade, called the class of
" Truth and Honor." These gradesrefer to
the moral—not intellectual—standing, and
the desire to reach the higher grades, almost
renders other punishments unnecessary. Corporeal punishment is only resorted to in the
4th grade, and then only as a last resort.
The whole system of government appears to
be an admirable one, and the officers of the
institution remarkably well-fitted for their
duties. The boys become quite interested in
the affairs of the establishment—the farm,
stock, &amp;c.—and are often trusted to go of
errands. Some that were sent there for larcency are trusted to go alone to town, collect
and pay bills, and not a single instance of
breach of trust has occurred.
The example of Massachusetts is being
followed by other States of the Union, and in
Lancaster a similar institution for girls has

been established, and is supported by this
State. Surely no nobler purpose can engage
the attention or employ the means of the
wealthy, than that of snatching the young of
both sexes from the vortex of crime, into
which so many are almost involuntary drawn
in crowded cities, and bringing them up under influences that shall fit them for lives of
virtue and usefulness. Would that more of
those Merchant princes in our cities, who
have the means, had also the desire to thus

render themselves benefactors of mankind.
M.
[For the Friend.)

What Tobacco will do.

We know what liquor will do. Its evils
are too appalling to be mistaken. But tobacco has its evils. What lam about to relate
is painfully true. Early in 1858, Captain
Hayden touched here bringing with him some
twelveKingsmill natives, whom he had picked up far at sea. They were lost. They
had fled from their native island because of
war, and were adrift at sea, in nearly a famished condition. As the Captain could not
take them home, and as Ebon was the first
island he made after taking the boys on board,
he landed them here. They were afraid to
come ashore—compulsion almost being necessary—for they knew what fate usually await
those thus landed—either killed, or at least
enslaved. I believe the Captain mads some
small presents of pieces of cloth to them, esas they were in a nude state almost,
do not know that he gave them any tobacco.
But suffice it to say, the natives had been
ashore some few weeks, and all they had on
save what was necessary to cover the shame
of their nakedness, was seized.by the chief,
into whose hands they had fallen. But this
chief suspected they still had tobacco, and
ordered them to give it up. They asserted
their poverty. He still accused them—they

r'cially

repeated their innocence. Enraged at this,
he bade some of his people kill the leading
ones. Two fell, and one escaped, and wandering a while in the bushes, was rescued by
another chief. Illustrative of this same passion so deadening the feelings that, like
many others, it leads to so sad deeds, is the
fact of a native who accompanied Captain
Moore from this island to Honolulu. On the
native's return, not only was he stripped of
about all the clothing that was given him, but
one petty chief accused him of concealing
tobacco. He declared his innocence. Enraged, this petty chief was quite disposed to
fight and force him to give up the treasure
he was accused of concealing.
Perhaps it should be said here, the natives
of Ebon are by no means inveterate tobacco
smokers, but they are loving it, and the passion is growing upon them. And if supplied
with all they want, will be as fond of it as its
most devoted lover.

In view of such painful facts as these,
when once made known, it would seem no
one visiting this island would give the article
either in trade, or as presents, to a single

Love in a Whaleship.

It has been very common, but fashionable,
for the ladies to spend a few weeks at the
Springs or the Seaside in the summer season,
for the professed object of improving their
health, and their dear papas have to lay aside
a few hundred dollars for that purpose every
year; while at the same time their mamas
have quite another object in view iv their
going. But, we will not expose them.
In August last, a young lady of this city,
of the writer's acquaintance, visited New
London, with, no doubt, the desirable object
of regaling herself, and enjoying the seabreeze. The time of her proposed absence
passed rapidly, and was, no doubt, agreeably
spent, yet no tidings were received from her
by her friends, until she appeared in person,
, of the ship
,
gallanted by Captain
engaged in the whaling service. The Captain is a fine-looking man, affable and desirable company to ak appearances. I will not
give the parties names, for I do not wish to
be personal.
The writer had a curiosity to learn how
things had progressed with our fair one, and
how she became acquainted with the gallant
Captain. And with much impudence I arrived at the following facts, picking up a
little here and a little there, until I got the
whole story as I suppose.
At one time the young lady said—" One
evening I received an invitation to attend the
She is a very agreeparty of Mrs. W-,
able woman, and gave a good party, and I
had a pleasant time that evening. 1 had not
been there but a few minutes when Captain
was introduced. He appeared to be a
gentleman in every particular, and proved
himself to be an excellent and attentive friend.
He invited us all to visit his ship. The next
day, in company with his sister, I went on
board. It was a new ship, and everything
looked clean and tidy. It appeared like a
floating palace to ply between Europe and
this country in the merchant's service, as I
thought. I heard the Captain say at the
party, that he would be happy to give any of
his friends a passage in his ship.
" Well, I thought that I should like to take
a trip in her, and visit the Continent, for
you know it might improve my health. I
must have made some remark during my
playful conversation, for the Captain kept me
laughing so much that 1 hardly know what I
did say.
"The next evening again, I found myself
and the Captain, and his sister, at the teatable of Mrs. W
The next day the
Captain had to go to New York on business,
and his sister invited me to go with them,
and we all three stopped at the St. Nicolas,
and we had such a delightful time. O! such
amusements."
" Well, I do not care, the Captain is a good
man."
days we returned to New Lon" Inanda few
don,
one afternoon I again visited the
ship, and, being weary, set myself down in
the cabin with the Captain. The rest of our
company being on deck, the Captain asked
me if I would like to take a trip in his ship.
I replied that I should if I could have pleasant
and agreeable company. The Captain asked
me if I did not think he was such. I blushed,
and it was reflected on the Captain's face.

.

.

Not a word was said for five minutes, and
until he requested an answer. I told him I
would give him an answer at Hartford in a
few days.
" I thought it all over, and come to the
conclusion that a trip to England and the
Continent would greatly improve my health,
and I told the Captain so, in snch a way that
he understood it.
made preparations for a tour, and one
" II asked
the Captain how long it would
day
take him to make a voyage. He said, 'if he
had good luck, about two years and a half,
for whales are not so easy to be found.'
" What, are you engaged in the whaling
business."
replied the Captain.
" Yes,"
"O, horrid!" said she, " I'll never go in a
greasy ship."
She refused to see the Captain any more,
but, in about ten days afterwards, she
received a beautiful box containing the Captain's card and the card of his lady and some
wedding cake. He married a very pretty
German girl, who had not such a horror of
grease.—Hartford Post.
The Abundance

or the

Sea.

A tall, noble-looking sea captain arose in
the meeting. He said he was from a seaport
town in Massachusetts, and away in his distant home we could not well conceive the joy
that it gave him to sit by his own fireside,
surrounded by his own family, and read the
reports of the good work which is going forward in New York and other places. No
Christian can read these reports and not have
his soul stirred within him ; none could read
without praying more, and without trusting
in God more; none could read and not feel
his soul filled with adoration and wonder at
the riches of God's grace in the salvation of
thousands on the land and on tho sea. Almost forty years of his life he said he had
spent at sea, and his great desire was to see
the abundance of the sea converted to Christ.
One thing had struck him as a marked feature in this revival. It was the concern
everywhere felt for seamen. Wherever he
went it was the same. The same in Boston,
and New York, and Philadelphia, and Charleston, and New Orleans. Never had there
been a revival when so much had been done
for the sailor, or when so many men of tha
sea had been converted. It is a mistake that
seamen are a hardened race. They are not
Gospel-hardened as your landsmen are.
Speak to them with your heart in your words,
and you will find them ready to hear, and
very susceptible to religious impressions.
They can be easily overcome with kindness.
There are no men on the face of the earth
that make such good missionaries as the
sailors—the men of the sea.
He said he was glad to get into a meeting
where the voices of seamen had been so often
heard, as in the Fulton street prayer-meeting.
He related several instances of conviction and
conversion among seamen, and spoke of the
good which was being accomplished through
their instrumentality. Seamen, when converted, make whole-hearted Christians. How
short would be the world's conversion, if all
our seamen were pious, demoted, exemplary
men.—N. Y. Observer.

Inteligence from Micronesia.

The Morning Star has returned from her
second successful trip to the westward. Our
readers will be interested in the account of
llie voyage furnished by Capt. Brown. Although somewhat long, we concluded it best
to publish the communication entire, rather
than make two articles of it.
We would gladly acknowledge letters from
all the missionaries, portions of which we
shall hereafter publish, especially a valuable communication from the Key. Mr. Doane,
upon the Mulgrave Islands, and the condition of things upon Ebon, the island now
occupied by Messrs. Pierson and Doane.
Rev. A. A. Sturges thus writes, under
date of Oct. 2d, 1858, at Ronakiti, Ascension :
—" We were right glad to see the Morning
Star again dawning upon our little island

of affection from afar over the sea ; how much
good these little leaves, breathing love, do us !

Wealth, peace and long life be the reward of

bbls sperm. Last Sunday afternoon, a large
merchant ship touched here, bound from
Manila to Sydney. Merchantmen are frequently touching. Two weeks ago an Austrian man-of-war left this port —she is bound
round the world.
" We have had a very quiet season. All
have enjoyed good health. We love our
work more and more, and hope to be allowed
to remain at our post. During the last shipping season we had much intercourse with
seamen. Services were held in English at
my house on shore or on board. There is

Rev. H. Bingham thus writes, under date,
Morning Star, off Strong's Island, Aug. 6,
1858:—"In April last, Konoa and myself
took a careful census of our island, and ascertained the population to amount to 3,217.
From such sources as I have been able to
draw, 1 think it safe to estimate the population of the Kingsmill group at 40,000. Surely we have a large field when compared with
other portions of Micronesia. During a residence of seven and a half months on Apian,
we have seen only a few vessels—four exclusive of the Morning Star,'' Sec., Sec.
Rev. Geo. Piekson, of Ebon, thus writes,
under date of Dec. 13, 1858:

and children alone in charge of the bonnes, &amp;c. The
captain knew this, and vet when he sent his boat
asbore the next day, he had it armed, to prevent Its
being attacked by the savages. They landed on our
beach, and when the mate came up to our bouses, a
few steps from the beach, he was attended by an
armed man ns a body guard; and as he walked about
over our premises (for neither he or any of the crew
went out of sight of our houses) he had a man walk
along just ahead of him displaying a large horse-pistol, to keep the natives at bay, and they expressed
haste to get back to the vessel. The natives were
highly indignant at this want of confidence in them,
thinking that the fact of our residing here in safety
ten months should be testimony enough as to the
safety of life on the inland, at least for a visit of a few
minutes ashore."

We have also to acknowledge letters from
Rev. Messrs. Snow and Gulick. It affords
us much delight to read these communications (one of which amounts to 20 pages)
from the Micronesian missionaries. There
is an air of buoyant and hopeful Christian
cheerfulness running through all their letters.
They are happy in their toilsome and selfdenying work. We sympathize with them
in their "lonely, but not lonesome, position."
In our next number we shall furnish our
readers with additional extracts.

Pieison, at Ebon, we would express our great

delight in witnessing the interchange of seeds,
plants and slips which is now being carried
on between the lovers of botany and science,
on the Sandwich Islands and others residing
in Micronesia and Marquesas. Dr. Hillebrand
received, by the last trip, 12 new specimens,
and Dr. Judd also a fine collection of mangrove plants. We hope the Morning Star,
on every trip, "will carry forward the praiseworthy undertaking.

and sunk the schooner, and we have on hoard one of her anchors and a pieoe of one ef her cables. The naUves took Mr.
Doane and myself. In the dusk of the evening, to tha spot where
the Captain fell—also showed us theanchor which lay under a
cocoanut-tree, ami from which they bad the palma broken. Next
day tlii-y directed us to the sunken wrack—her oopper appears
bright and clean aa ever—her draftmark 6 upon her stern
could he distinctly seen—hercable I found entangled anions; the
coral, so that only a small part couldbe saved. Pieces of charred
plank we foundabout the beach.
The lloughain (roup, or Chrlnltt of the natives, la full forty
miles north and south | Its south point Is in lat. 5 47 tf., long.
ISO o So E. | in width It will average about eight miles ; IU foils Irregular. The variousIslands are very beeutlntl,and abound
with the same fruits aa the Mulgravegroup. At tag visit,breadfruit was out of season, and at such times ooooauuts and pandemia constitute about their only food. Tbe people number
from 300 to 400 only. More shoals were found In this lagoon
than In any we have seen. They are large and numerous—a
vessel could hardly remain under way In the nightwithout striking upon them. They are composed of very sharp and hard
coral,and we narrowly escaped once in tbe daytime—though
we constantly kept a lookout aloft.
Leaving our anchorage at 1 P.M., Dec. 8, for the purpose at
examining the northwest shores, as usual In getting under way,
I placed my son at the wheel. Very soon he desired to leave,
saying he felt slok, and that his head felt numb—aura enough,
said I, and mine is feeling tbe aame way. I then thought of a
beautiful red fish we had eaten for dinner. The unpleasant a-n-sation Increasing, I spoke of It to my officers, and found them
troubled In the aame way. A aquall cam* upon us very suddenly while we were wondering at our very strange sensations,
which threw the vessel upon her bearing. I had seen it coming,
and was taking In sail, but It burst upon us with great fury,
tacks, sheets and sails gave way, or we shouldhave fared worse.
The rain fell fsst, and we were very near to one nf theseshoals—
which side of it we went I could not tell. My tongue I found
was In a measure paralyzed, and my officers, as well as myself,
staggered about the decks. The squall lasted abouthalf an hour,
when we set our crippled sails, and made for a harbor, reaching
It before night. It took us all night to get right again from the
effects of the fish. Finishing our workhere, we left for Ebon on
the 13th Dec., and arrived neat morning ; the trades blowing
very strong, with very squally and rainy weather, we could not
enter the lagoon, aa there la only one channel, which is vary
small,and upon the B.W. part of the group.
We left Ebon on the 19th—touched at JVavarlk on'the nth.
Had an Interviewwith Iv chief—a fine fellow I aaw at Ebon at
our former visit—made him some presenU, and left In half-anhour. Sunday morning the 19th, was surprised at seeing land
very near ahead, as none Is shown In my charts In that place -,
on coming up with It, found it to be a group of 14 Islands, encircling three sides of a beautllul lagoon, the western part being
protected by a reef with a small channel. A canoe came off
having two men on board ; I gave them aome presenU, asked
the name of thegroup, which la Lai or Rat, and left this little
gem, the lagoon of which la about four miles across, and lies In
north latitude
00, and east longitude l«o° 29. The canoe
brought off aome very fine breadfruit and cocoanuta. Continuing our course, we passed over the assigned position of BcanU
Island, In the night, with a bright full moon, and a sharp lookout, but nothing was seen. Next day came up with an island
named by the charts Eschscholu Island i at noon we were close
In shore, in lat. 11 Silt., long. IM 37 E. oonld see twelve
islands lying In east and west directions. We being about the
center, stood for a channel three miles In width, between two
islands; on getting near, we could see the bottom stretching
across—sent a boat to sound, found 11 fathoms, and sailed over,
seeing very distinctly tho various colored corals comprising
the reef under our koel as we dashed along. After passing this
bar, foundourselves in smooth water ; soon after, aaw land in
the N.W., and also in iV.E., also a shoal with 10 —thorns water
over It—of course I was now convinced that we had entered a
spacious lagoon. I counted from aloft 14 la—nds, and the lagoon
must Ie twenty miles across at least. We tacked and Stood out,
speaking a canoe on our way, with a chief on board, who In—fined us that the name of the group was Big—l. We cleared tbe
western extremity at sunset, which is a circular reef. Tola part
is vary dangerous, aa all tbe adjoining islets are small and vary
low, aome of them having only a few bushes. I noticed on* peculiarity In this group, thebars between the islandsand shoals
inside are mora sunken than any we have seen heretofore, with
several deep channels Into the lagoon. Tbe canoe followed aa
for aome time after we had left tbe lagoon, and only gam ap tha
chaae when we made al) sailaway from them. They were extremely anxious to get on board,and I vary much lagiitua that
time and the state ofthe weather would not admit of a 111011
stay. They are a very fine race ofpeople. If Ibeee in the canoe
were a fair specimen.

Rkv. 8. C. Damon Dear Sir:— Although you will douhtless
t-f made acquainted with the movement- of the Morning Star
from other sources, yet I will give you a sketch in my own way.
We arrived at Apian after a pleasant passage of 15 tiny-, ami
found Mr. antl Mrs. Bingham In good health, and prospering In
their work. We spent a pleasant Sabbath with them, and
heard Mr. ft. preach to 150 natives, assembled as usual in a
large council bouse. Leaving Apian ou the 19th July, with Mr.
and Mrs. Bingham on board, we run over to Tarawa, only five
miles from Apian, and spent two days in examining it. Welanded, and had a talkwith the chiefs, who seemed anxious to have
missionaries stop with them at once. Leaving, we arrived at
Khon on the 25th, finding Rev. Messrs. Piersnn and Doane, with
their families, in good health and in great favor with the chiefs
and people. Dr. Pierson preached to a housefullSabbath morning at his own residence, and Mr. Doane on board the Morning
Star In the afternoon. Taking Dr. P. antl family on hoard, we
sailed for Strong's Island Aug. 2d, where we arrived on the 7th.
Rev. Mr. Snow and family also we found In good health. Here
Mrs. Bingham's health, which for several days had been giving
way, failed entirely, and she was removed to Dove Island, Mr.
Snow's residence, and a course of typhoid fever followed, prostrating her to a very low state, and fears were entertained that
the mission might be deprived of the services of this excellent
and devoted lady; but the Lord haa kept her for his work
among the people, to whom sheis very strongly attached. The
original Intention had been to assemble at Ascension for General
Meeting; now. however, It was arranged that Mr. Snow should
at once proceed to Ascension Island, proposing to Messrs.
Oulick and Sturges to attend at Strong's Island. One strong
consideration was to receive the aid of Dr. Oulick In Mrs. B.s
case. In addition to that of Dr. Pierson—accordingly we sailed
Aug. 11, with Mr. Snow, Mr. Roberts, Mrs. Oulick and family,
nnd Mr. Mahoeand wife on board,and arrived at that island on
the 18th. finding all well.
On the 22d, we left for Strong's Island, arriving back on the
27th. Mrs. B. we found still quite low. General Meeting over,
we sailed again for Ascension Sept. 8, touching at McAklll's
and Wellington Islands, reaching our port on the 18th—the
fourth day after making the island, having calm and unfavorabe
winds. Leaving Mr. and Mrs. Roberts at Ascension, we sailed
Oot. 6, andarrived the third time at Strong's Island on the 12th.
Pound Mrs. Bingham in perfect health, and thatDr. Pierson, with
his family, had left for Ebon In the Roscoe. Taking Mr. and
Mrs. Bingham on board, we sailed on the 15th forEbon, arriving
at that place on the 23d, sailing into the lagoon with a fair wind
.md, finding all well, we left on the 28th for Apian, taking Mr.
Doane on board. Arrived at Apian Nov. 0.
On the 13th,sailed for the Mulgrave Islands, where we arrived
the evening ofthe 17th—stood close In shore—at 10 P.M., with
_, bright moon, having fine weather, we lay by so near the inowwhite beach that we could hear the shouts of the natives, and
even distinctly hear them talking with each other. Tires were
lighted, and soon a large canoe was seen sailing toward us. She
came alongside, and two men came on board, staying till about
midnight, whan we vent them on shore telling them to come off
in the morning, which they tailed not to do. We found a fine
*hip-rhannel on the north shore of thegroup, and entered the

beautiful lagoon in a fresh gale nnd squally weather, on Sunday,
Nov. 21, and, after shying about among the coral reefs, 1 discovered from aloft a small cove under a beautiful Island,called
by the natives Chabbunwunl. We ran in between the outer
reefs and came to anchor, finding it a fine and secure place,
which 1 have named Kttrmß Covit. We were all very glad to
avail ourselves of its shelter after knocking about outside for
several days and nights in stormy weather. Natives soon came
off, but, on being told It was Sunday, and desired to return to
shore, they readily complied.
The average height of the islands of this group does not exceed five feet above high water mark, and they are only a few
rods in width—say five minutes walk. They are very beautiful
and many of them abound with breadfruit.cocoanuts,pnndanus,
and other tree*. The bottom everywhere is coral; at our anchorage, the water was fn ni 10 to 15 fathoms, and 25 fathoms
was the deepest found in mld-lagoon. A vessel entering this
lagoon must depend entirely upon her weight of metal, as such a
thing as holding-ground cannot be found. Our own is very
heavy, and the Morning Star has not yet, on this voyage,
started an anchor with a propor scopeof cable.
The King, chiefs, and people of Milll were very greatly rejoiced
at our visit, and wished Mr. Doane to stay with them. They
are very anxious to have a missionary among them,and It Is to
be hoped their wishes can be compiled with. The King gave in.:
a very beautiful island, and said If I would come and live on it,
he would have me a nice house built, and give me more land.
They related to us some particulars concerning the Globe mutineers,anil showed us where the ship was anchored, which was
outside, very close to the shore, iv a very exposed position, although, as Is known, she escaped. Mr. Doane cruisedamong
*hevarious islands in a large canoe belonging to the King, accompanied by him, in order to ascertain thenumber of Inhabitant*. He thinks 600 the extent at the time or our visit. The
N.K. trades were Just setting In, and we had the wind most of
the time very strong, with squally and rainy weather. There
are four deep-water channels, all upon the north shores. One
of them Is a mile in width. The aouth point of the group is In
lat. 5° 58 N., long. 172° 2-30 E. ; IU northern extreme lit.
0° 20 N., long. 171° 4ft X.; In the central part of the lagoon
are three small shoals, on which are breakers—no other danger
exists.
We left Milll or Mulgrave Island on the 20th Nor. for Arrowsmith Island—called Maturo by the natives—and arrived next
day sailed close along Its southern shore. About its eastern
point the land is broken, and a canoe came out ofa small opening—but soon we found it continuous and unbroken for _4
miles—the reef and chain of islets being to the north. It is a
magnificent Island. The ground where Mr. Doane and myself
landed is from six to ten feet high. It has elegant forests of
breadfruitand nandanus trees. Cocoanuts of course abound
bananas also seemed to be plentiful. We walked across the
Island to the lagoon-side escorted by 300 to 400 natives—men,
women and children. Theyappeared to be filled with wonder
and delight. On the shore of the lagoon the sight was most
delightful—about twenty large canoes lay upon the beach. We
made the chiefs some presents.
We left the Island on the evening of Dec. 1 for Bougham's
group *, arrived and entered Its lagoon on the next day, anchoring under an island called Imurott, near tbe spot where, five
years since, a trading schooner was cut off. Capt. McKemie
and all hands, save one, were killed. The one saved Is a native
of Manila, and is now with me. The vessel anchored the day
before the massacre. The Captain was carried ashore from bis
boat on the back of a native, and tbe schooner lay very (dose to
shore. A native with a hatchet cot the Captain's head nearly
off, which was the signal for those on board to commence the
work of death. Many natives being on board, soon all were
dead, except the above mentioned. He was at wcrk aloft—the

no doubt, be found upon seen* others, although the Ralick and
Radack chainshave been but very Imperfectly surveyed. The
island supposed so harebeen discovered by my predecessor last
yw can be (band upon the old charts of JVorie, and Is called
PriDoessa Island. Tbe south' channel also of the Apian lagoon
Is distinctly marked In the rerj excellent charts of the Kingsmill group by Commodore Wilkes. Standing to the north, we
passed over the given position of Halcyon Island, and saw
nothing. January 8, lat. 31 ° 00 JV., long. 174° 42 X., took a
heavy gale from S. W. which brought the packet down to straight
Jacket for lo hours; 13th, lat 31 ° 33 JV., long. 174° 30 W.,
experienced another gale, heavier than the first, from thesouthward—was hove to also In this 10 hours,under a storm trysail
19th,took a third gale, near as hard as both the former, the
wind W.jV.W., we scud E.B.E. under close-reefed topsail and
storm trysail, and finally reefed foresail for 30 hours, our decks
drenched fore and aft; during this gale we had very heavy
squalls and much lightning, with a very heavy sea running,
but the Packet behaved remarkably well. Our passage thus fur
has been a very boisterous one, if I except six days of calm and
doldrums.
When standing to the north in the trades, they were very
strong and very squally, frequentlybringing us down to a closereef, and once furled our foretopsall. Through it all, the JWorning Star has proved herself an able boat In all sorts of weather.
In speaking of Arrowsmith Island, I forgot to mention the
fact that I found It placed In both my charts (Blunts and Imray's) 12 miles south of Its true position. Its western point lies
in lat. 7 16, JV., long. 171° 00 K. In all the lagoons I found
high water at fulland change of the moon to take place at halfpast 3, with a rise of fire feet—neap tides not over two feet;
their 'seaward shores are boldand steep, having no outstanding

-,

°

dangers.
Upon ourarrival at the Mulgraves, we attempted to enter tbe
lagoon by a narrow channel,which we supposed was the only
one, and through which a ship cannot pass inward while the
trades are blowing—working as near as possible, we anchored
upon the coral shelf, awaiting a chance to enter. I knew the
tide was running flood at the time, and rising upon tlie shore,
but foundit running out of the lagoon at the rate of 3 knots ;
this ran fornine hours, and we dragged off theshelf at sunset,
leaving the tide running out still
knots. This passage Is In
part to leeward, and when, afterwards, we found three deep
channels to windward,into which the trade-winds were pouring
its waters, we didnot wonder at the pouring out to leeward. They
have no bananas at Mulgrave, so we left some very nice plants.
The people of the Kadack and Ralick chains are great seamen,
aa well as navigators, frequentlymaking voyages of hundreds of
miles In their frail canoes, with their lumberingoutriggers, the
whole or the fastening being but small cord, made of cocoanut
husk. Strong's and Ascension Islanders are keepers at home.
Wa were at Strong's Island when the death of the King took
place. I was present at theburial, and also at theceremonies
attending the coronationof the new King. A more perfect scene
of heathen mummery can hardly be Imagined. The days af the
Strong's Islanders seem to be numbered—-only 800 remain. They
are very pleasant and agreeable in their intercourse with strangers, as are also the people of Ebonand Mulgrave's. Tbepeople
of the Kingsmill group, on the contrary, are of a rather morose

_

turn.

We have now been for three days running in a JV.K. gale,
under close-reefed sails, and everything and everybody well wet
down—-from Lady Faith to the man at the wheel. Tbe qualities
of the Morning Star have been well tried on this passage, and
I think a more able and well-behaved vessel ol her class in
heavy weather, is not yetbuilt.
Sunday 23d, 1P.M., 1am happy to say, wehave justraised the
land, thecentralpart of Molokai. Wellbuffetedwe have been ever
since the last Sabbath. Last nightIt blew a heavy galeallnight,
bringing us down to itormsalls only. But the voyage seems to
be winding up, and I will also wind up this, and
I remain yours, most truly,
Jxo. W. Knows.

MJ___J_ir ne»_, of the advantages offered by the Railroad
9tmmtm
across the Isthmus of Panama, for the shipment of
Oil from the Pacific to theUnited States, v.id for sending outfitsand supplies from theUnited State* to Panama.
The Railroad has been in regular and successful operation for
more than two years, and Its capacity for the transportation of
every description of merchandise, including Oil, Provisions, &amp;c,
has been fully tested. The attention of several Captains of
whaleships has recently been'turned to the subject of shipping
theiroil from Panama to New York during thepresent season,
and the Panama Rail-Road Company has made arrangements
to afford every facility which may be required for the accomplishment of this Important object. A Pier, 460 feet long, has
been built In the bay of Panama, to the end of which Freight
Cars are run to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying
alongside, and deliver the same alongside of vessels at Aspinwall. Vessels of from 200 to 300 tons can lie at the Pier with
Bafety, grounding in the mud at low water.
The vessels to and from Aspinwall are fast-sailingbrigs, be
longing to theRail-Road Company, and the Company Is pre
pared to receive oil at Panama and deliver It In New York,
under through It 111wof Lading at k the rateofseren
cents per gallon, if received at the Pier, and eight cents per gallon if received in the harbor from ship's tackles, charging for
the capacity of the casks, without allowing for wantage. For
whalebone, one and one-half cents per pound. This charge
covers every expense from Panama to New York, in case
the oilis sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent
ofthe Panama Rail-Road Company, Insurance excepted. The
freights may be made payable on the Isthmus or in New York
at the option of the shipper.
The vessels of the Company sail regularly semi-monthly, and
the averagepassages to and from Aspinwall are about twenty to
twenty-five days. The time occupied In crossing the Ishmus is
fourhours. Oil, during its transit across the Isthmus, will be
covered with canvas, or conveyed in covered cars, and owners
may be assured that every care will be takentoprevent leakage.
Severalcargoeshave already been conveyed to New York with
out the slightest loss.
Oil or other (roods consigned for transportation to the Superintendent ofthe PanamaRail-Road Company, or to William
Nrlnon, Commercial Agent ofthe Company at Panama, will
bereceived and forwarded with the greatest despatch.
X_T Frederic L. Hanks has been appointed Agent at Hono
