Punahou need the lectures and experiments of such a man, but also those at Lahainalunn. How can such a man be procured and sustained in a more satisfactory manner than in connection with a Professorship of Natural Science" at Oahu College? Cannot the funds for endowing such a professorship be raised upon the islands ? This is a question which we would now ask? Let it be carefully entertained by the friends of the College upon Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai. Will not our merchants, our planters, our missionaries and our citizens generally, consider the subject ? Read the Supplement.

We regret that the crowded state of our columns prevents the publication of His Majesty's speech, at the opening of Parliament, and also full and appreciatory notices of the Prince's Birth-Day, the Examination at Oahu College, and the Exhibition at Fort Street Church, the visit of the Candinmarrah, and many other subjects of passing interest. Our readers will find in another part of our columns the annual catalogue of Oahu College and Exhibition-programme. The performances at the Exhibition and the College were not only creditable, but in the very highest degree meritorious. At the Exhibition, we were delighted to see in the audience the Captain of the Candinmarrah, and two of his officers. The Occident and Orient meet on Hawaiian soil. We copy the following from a late San Francisco Herald: Haves, of the Ellenita, had published a " Capt. letter in the Sydney Herald, repelling the long charges male against him in some of the San Francisco papers, producing certificates of character." If Capt. Hayes should apply for certificates of character to some few of his dupes in San Francisco, Honolulu, and elsewhere, he could, without difficulty, obtain those which would satisfy even a Botany Bay community, of his consummate villainy and barefaced mendacity. The Japanese corvette Candinmarrah, left our harbor on Saturday, 26th ult., bound for Japan, direct. The officers of the vqpel expressed themselves highly pleased with their reception here, and regretted that circumstances prevented a longer stay. On leaving, the Candinmarrah fired a salute, which was answered from the battery on Punchbowl. For want of space, we are obliged to omit several articles prepared for this number of the Friend. Information Wanted. Respecting Mr. Jr. P. Davol, formerly on board of thb Bremen ship "Alexander Barclay," He is requested to oall upon Rev. S. C. Damon, r.r at oar office, where he will hear something to bis advantage. H. Hxosnui £ Cj �42 - —■— —— - TheKilauea.

On I , ; daunted and unterrified, Kapiolani descends into the crater and reads certain passages from the Bible, and tells her people that Jehovah is the maker of all worlds.

All the gods of Hawaii are vain. Great is the goodness of Jehovah in sending missionaries to turn us from these vanities to the living God and the way of righteousness." After Kapiolani had finished this address, a chief by the name of Alapai, led in prayer, while all bowed in reverence and adoration before Jehovah, the Creator and Governor ofall worlds. We think it quite impossible for any candid and impartial mind to reflect upon this aot of moral heroism without being impressed with its sublimity and grandeur. The scene, viewed at the moment of that assembly of once hcithen people, following the example of Kapiolani, and engaging in prayer to Jehovah, is worthy of the study and pencil of a Michael Angelo. Then and there was a triumph over the gods of Hawaiian superstition, which merits to be kept in everlasting remembrance. We would refer our readers for a more complete description of this event, to Bingham's Sandwich Islands, pages 274, 276. We would merely add that Wilkes gives the following as the Umensions of the crater of Kilauea: " Total d »>th of the crater, 992 feet. The lake, 1500 fsk in length, and 1000 in breadth." The circt ferenee of the crater will vary according to the route of those who undertake the survey. It a»y be made 7,10 or 12 miles. The frequent changes which are taking place in the active parts of the crater,render it impossible to furnish descriptions which do not conflict with each other. �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1 860. 43 Full or the Bible."—Not long the lady found that out) sends Biddy 3d for " Chuck we a letter to the youth of a Sabheard ago wonder her brother, who comes in great Scoh lsf Illinois. read, in which the writer told of to sco what for the lady wants of him, and bath school a good boy who went to sea—perhaps he was is considerably more astonished when she the cabin boy.

An Item for Moderate Drinkers.—A well-known dealer in (he semi-medicinal beverage of Schiedam Schnapps" has re" cently favored the public with a pamphlet furnishing the results of his own experience and observation, proving the criminal practice of the liquor trade in the general adulteration of liquors, and the extensive concoction of spurious articles. He states that while the returns of the New York Custom House show an importation of 20,000 halfcasks of brandy, 35 000 quarters, and 23,000 eighths, twenty or thirty times that number are sold to retailers and country dealers as genuine French brandy. Three-fourths of all foreign brandies and gin are imported for the express purpose of adulteration. The Custom House books show that one man who has sold thousands of gallons of a certain kind of foreign liquor, has not imported snore than five pipes in fire years. He gives a list of the vegetable and mineral poisons and acids that are employed in this work. He also states that the greater portion of the imported brandy is whisky sent from this country, to be returned with a French brand as genuine French liquois.—N. Y. Chronicle. Tm Notorious Cast. Hayes — ThFouaEendlringti Sea. The Ellrnita sails from San Francisco; touches at Maui; Me Sheriff of J.ahaina in a "fix" ; the vessel leaking; raft built; vessel abandoned; the boat; the raft; the Ellenita goes down ; boat and raft separate ; the boat reaches Suvaii in afety; English mangoes out in starch of raft; a man dies on of-war the raft; after twenty days of exposure, reaches Wallis Island. Captain Hayes has acquired a reputation for duplicity, fraud and high-handed villainy, which entitles him to a high rank among rogues. A graphic sketch of his life and character was published a few months since in the Commercial Advertiser, and which has been copied into papers in other parts of the world. China, Australia, California and Sandwich Islands have witnessed his foolhardy exploits and too successful rascalities. He has recently been heard from at Sydney, and it is to be hoped that, in Botany Bay, he may find those who will deal with him after the manner that rogues were there treated in days of yore. Captain Hayes does not hesitate to lay contribution upon any class—San Francisco lawyers and brokers were well token in; Honolulu merchants were, more or less, fleeced ; and, although we incur the risk of being laughed at, we add, that on the very last morning before leaving Honolulu, he came to our office and solicited the loan of $50, and we were so accommodating as to let him have the money! How could we refuse a shipmaster! Surely they have been kind to us! He plead for his wife's sake ! He was so plausible ! How could we refuse! The following narrative of the foundering of the Ellenita was furnished by one of the unfortunate seamen, who were exposed for nineteen days and nights upon the raft built before she went down: BY HENRY MILLER. On Friday, August 25, 1859, went on board tho brig Ellenita, Capt. Hayes, and engaged a passage to the Navigator Islands. Next day, took a portion of my things aboard and secured a berth. Seeing the boat lying on the wharf, I asked the mate whether that was the only one the brig had ; he said she hud another. The next night, went on board again, to sleep and look after my things. About midnight, heard the steerage steward and his brother and sister getting their things on board. Made inquiriesas to what was up, and was told that the captain intended to haul off into tho stream. Went on deck—saw one of the lady passengers on the wharf, crying and asking the captain to give her passage money back. She was persuaded to come on board tbo brig, which then cast off and stood to sea, leaking a little the whole way to the Sandwich Islands. September 16.—Sighted Hawaii, and mads tbs harbor of Kahului, on the Island of Maui, tbs same evening. Went in to stop the leak and gst wood and water. On Sunday evening, the Sheriff came from Labaina, with a warrant to arrest tbs captain. The Sheriff was invited to corns on board, the captain and juste dscJining to go ashore, and on the look-out for a brsese. Early on Monday morning, got under way and beat out, with the Sheriffoa beard. Finding that tbs �46 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 18 60. captain would not go ashore with him, he left the vessel in n boat belonging to a schooner lying in the harbor. The brig went through theMolokai Channel, and then steered for Farming's Island, which she did not make, leaking worse than before, and the passengers had to assist in keeping ber free. After it was found that Farming's Island was missed, the captain ran S.S.W. for several days. I remarked that that oourse would not make the Samoan Islands. About October 10th, while the menwere bending the fore-topsail, they raised land on the lee bow, which took the captain and mate all aback, for they thought, by their reckoning, they were more than a degree to tho eastward. They had no chronometer on board. Tho land proved to be theDuke of Clarence Islands. The latitude was obtained that night by the moon, which corresponded with that found at noon. Took our departure for Tutulano. The wind beaded off the brig, and she would not lay for Savaii. Tho leak kept the pumps going mure than half the time—a great hardship for the men, who had for a long time been on short allowance of water. On the evening of October 15, one of the crew made the remark that the brig had broken her back. It was found she could not bo kept free with the pumps, and on themorningof the 16th, both were choked. Attempts were then made to bail with buckets, and one of the pumps was shifted to the main hatchway, to try to keep down the water; but all to no purpose. After much persuasion, the captain was induced to set the men at work to make a raft, and put the necessary supplies of provisions and water upon it—which was done with all haste. While at this work, one of the men had his leg fractured by a oask which we were striving to put upon the raft. With the assistance of a lady passenger, I set the bone, the lady tearing up some of her clothing to make bandages. We did the best we could, the lady paying the greatest attention to him. About six o'clock, P. M., the passengers were put upon the raft, except the women and children and two other passengers, who remained on board the brig with the captain and mate. About eight o'clock, the same evening, the starboard anchor and chain, with everything else that c&me to hand, were thrown overboard, for the purpose of lightening the vessel, butall in vain. The boat was called alongside, to take the women and children to the raft, and was then ordered to drop astern, in readiness to take off the captain, mate and the two remaining passengers. About 12 o'clock, the same night, the captain and mate being asleep, I awoke the former, telling him that the brig was full of water to the hatchways. He immediately jumped up and gave orders to cast loose theraft, which wasdone. He then called the boat alongside, supplied it with a sextant, water and some clothing, and ran it near the raft. The women, seeing the boat coming, endeavored to get in it, but the captain did not lay close enough for the purpose._ We in the boat consulted together, and thought it would be best for us to go again on board the brig, wear her, and try to pick up the raft, as the brig still kept afloat'and forged so far ahead of it. After a very long pull we reached the vessel. Two of us went on board, and wore the ship round. I went into the cabin, and by the clock saw that it was half-past two, on the morning of the 17th October. The brig was then going down, head first. We called the boat, got into it, and had veryhard work to get clear of the vessel's side. After getting a few yards away, she was all under water, except her stern davits. The next thing we saw was the galley floating away, but the brig was seen no more. Pulled tor the raft, which we did not find until daylight, and went alongside. All appeared overjoyed, as they had supposed they would never see us again. Every one in the boat showed muoh sympathy for the women and children on the raft, who were sitting down with the water washing over them. The captain was informed that the provisions wars all spoiled by the salt water, whan it was proposed by him that all should get on the raft, except the old mate and two men to pull, so that the women and children could go into the boat. After we had gone on board the raft, the captain refused to follow us, and ordered the men to throw overboard a cask of water, some blankets, and other articles, which were picked up. The water, however, was spoiled by sea-water getting to it. The captain had all the best provisions put into the boat, under pretense of keeping them dry. The men then put up a sail, and a steering-oar was rigged out from the raft, to get it into the right direction. It was now almost noon, and I asked what the sun's declination was. The mate said 9.20 S. corrected. I then got the sun, and found the latitude to be 12.14 S. By tho mate's reckoning, wo were within a few miles of the longitude of Savaii. The boat came alongside of the raft, and Capt. Hayes said he was about to leave us. I asked him for my Epitome, from the boat, and somo of tho men requested to go with him ; but he took good care not to como close enough to enable them to get in. I cannot express the feelings of those on theraft when they saw tho boat leaving them, with nearly all the provisions and water, and everything else, of any use, on board of it. The captain left me a sextant, but the horizon-gloss was spoiled by salt water, and turned out to be entirely useless to us. It was heart-rendering now to look at our situation. Beside the dangers of the waves, we were surrounded by ravenous sharks, making iierce bites at the spars. The men, however, soon recovered themselves, and bore up with stout hearts, in the hope of making land before long. All were entirely worn out for want of sleep, but there was no such thing as sleeping, the sea continually breaking over the raft; and there was no room for all to sit or lie down. At the end of five or six days, we sighted Savaii, bearing S. E., about 40 miles off. We immediately set to work, made paddles out of pieces of boards, and tried to paddle the raft towards the island ; but we could make no headway, as the wind was blowing from the eastward, with a heavy sea on, running to the westward. Suddenly our frail craft commenced rolling heavily, owing to one of the empty casks lashed to the stern having filled with water. This placed us in great danger, and we thought it probable that we should never again get to land. The raft was then permitted to drive before the wind, in the faint hope that it would reach Wallis Island. The next morning we saw the Island of Savaii. It was useless to make any further attempts to get to the land; some of tho men wore light-headed, which caused them to talk all kinds of nonsense, but they soon recovered, and bore up well against their hard fate. Our clothing was washing to pieces, our legs and hands swelling and full of Bores from sun-burn and salt water, and we were half naked. At the end of fourteen days, one man died, through hunger and thirst; and all must have shared tho same fate, had it not been for the good fortune of the men in catching sharks with a bowline, and some small fish now and then ; rainwater was also procured from occasional showers. We were now almost entirely hopeless of ever seeing land again. On the 17th night, there was lightning. I was sitting on a cask, with two other men, and thought I saw land. I told my comrades, but no one would believe me—they were in despair, for there were no provisions left, and the water failed, the weather having become clear. All at once, one of tho men raised the land, dead to leeward of the raft, about 20 miles off. I knew it to be Wallis Island as soon as 1 saw it. We now added two blankets to the sail, and paddled with all our strength, to reach the shore. At the end of 19 days and the20thnight, got close to the reef on the north part of the island. It would have been impossible for us to have gone further, had not two natives swam off with a line, which they made fast to the raft, and hauled it on to the reef. These natives then assisted us to get into their canoes, carrying such as could not walk. One nan tried to swim to the reef, but finding himself too weak, had to return. The natives gave us plenty of water and cocoanuts, and had some other provisions ready for us, then took us in their canoes to the small island. It is impossible to describe all that wo suffered while upon the raft. The people who assisted us were a Samoan, a Tucklou native, and a native of Wallis Island. I asked one of them to take roe and some others to see the priest, but ho would only take me, as he wanted to see him first. I dressed myself in a jacket and blanket, and was carried up to the priest on a ladder, as I was entirely unable to walk. After a while thepriest came. I informed him of our misfortune, when he Baid he had already heard of it by one of Her Majesty's ships, which had called and left a letter, with instructions for the people to look out for us. He also informed me that the boat with the captain, mate and tho remainder with them, had landed safely on the island of Savaii. He then called a meeting of the chiefß, and arranged that they should take us amongst them, until Her Majesty's ship should arrive, which ho said would be back in a short time. She had only gone to look for us. Next day the priest went to see somo of the men, and returned in the evening, when he sent them tea and sugar. I was wholly unable to move out of my bed without assistance from some of the natives who were living with the priest, who had given them tho strictest orders to pay great attention to mo. Everything I wanted was given me, until I left. He gave the other men shirts and trousers, ftftcr a time, the Elk arrived, and her commander sent a letter to the priest, requesting us all to meet at one place, to oe taken on board. The greater part of us went accordingly, and we were taken on board the ship, where we received every kindness. I feel sincerely thankful for the many favors shown us, and am now fast regaining my strength, which I never expected to do after the hardships and sufferings I have gone through.

At the several stations were found about two hundred, who attended the schools, nearly all female We sailed from Puamao and cast anchor at Il.matitapa Rty on the 25th ; general meeting and exhibition of two of the schools were attended. At this buy, the entire ship's company attended the exhibitions, which were very creditable to both teachers and scholars. At the close of the exercises, all sat down to a picnic, provided for the occasion—baked pig, breadfruit, popoi, and bananas, were bountifully furnished to all, inoluding the whole ship's company of the Morning Star. The ship Twilight was completely broken up by a heavy gale from the north, early in February; a large amount of provisions, in a good state of preservation, were saved at the time by the natives and sold to the Missionaries. Previous to the breaking up of the ship, the French authorities at Tahiti dispatched the armed brigantine Railleur to assist Capt. Rousseau, the person who purchased the wreck, in saving the property, and succeeded in saving a large part of the oil, Ate Previous to her arrival the natives were troublesome, and took a new whale boat from Capt. R., as they claimed, for ground rent. On the arrival of the man of-war, the boat was demanded ; they refused to give ber up, and the vessel was getting a spring upon her cable preparatory to a cannonade of the place. Mr. Bicknell happening along about that time, went on shore and succeeded in having the boat restored to her owner without further trouble. The natives declared it to be their intention if they had powder, to fight the vessel. Mr. B. thinks a few hard knocks would have a good effect upon them, a very sensible idea to my own mind ; they might be cured of some of their incorrigible fighting propensities. It is quite evident, however, that the Missionaries are making large inroads upon this as well as all other wretched customs of tabus, &c, which teach that if a female enters s canoe with a male, he will become instantly stone blind. Many other practices equally ridiculous, are very evidently giving away before the power of truth. No missionaries on earth, in my own opinion, are doing more real good, or deserve more oredit, than those of the Marquesan Mission. This report would be rendered quite incomplete were I to omit to notice the great pleasure we derived from the companionship ofRev. Mr. Conn, which has made our cruise doubly pleasant and interesting. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, John W. Brown. B.—We have ascertained the following, vix., P. no that there is n in Fatuiva, not Fatuhiva. Omoa is correct. Nuuhiva, not Nukuhiva. These are the Capt. Brown, of the Missionary Packet, has furnished us with the following interesting account of his voyage to the Marquesas, in addition to the sailing memoranda in another column. The vessel left Hilo March 17, and arrived at Hivaoa, April 11. The narrative then goes on We left Resolution Bay the night of the 18th, with Rev. L. Kniwi on board, and came to anchor the 14th at Hanatakuua Bay, Hivaoa, where we spent the Sabbath. Monday, 16th, sailed for Fatuiva, anchoring next day at Omoa Bay. The old story of war was the first we heard ; indeed the two Bays, Omoa and Hanavavi, are constantly in a broil, although only three miles apart ; we heard of two men being wounded by bullets a few days before our arrival, none killed ; most of the fighting-men of Omoa we found had gone to Resolution Bay a day or so previous to our arrival, in six wbaleboats, to join a great feast of that place. This feast was much talked of while we were there, aad the hogs were tabued, none could be sold or eaten until the feastday. The Omoa ladies set up a tremendous wailing as their lords were leaving, cutting their foreheads and cheeks until the blood streamed freely, all being quite fresh on our arrival. I asked one who was badly hacked, why she did it. Kaoka nut te ATata was her reply—great love for her husband. In the absence of the Sower of the army of Omoa, the Hanavavians wished-to attack those who remained, but prudence being the essential part of valor with all these scamps, they merely prowl among the bills between tho two bays, a few from each party endeavoring to show their neighbors that they are anxious for a fight. Not one of them could muster courage to fire a musket, probably, if there existed a possibility that another was aimed at himself ; they mean to be sure of the safety of their own precious person first. The women and children, we understand, take refuge among the hills at night, while the few remaining warriors keep guard between the bay. It is an understood condition, that the missionaries, and all their adherents, are not to be molested in their wars. Taking both mission families on board, we left for Puamao at midnight 19th, reaching that place Saturday morning, April 20th.

Everywhere the igneous origin of the rocks is distinct and striking. Some of the highest ridges and peaks, and the faces of some of the perpendicular or beetling precipices are naked rocks; but on nearly all the slopes, grass and shrubs grow to a considerable extent, and all the little valleys, where rain falls, are perfect Edens of luxuriance. No permanent stream of water runs through the valley of Vaitahu, but a small rill of pure water gushes out from a cliff near the beach. Mixed with the Marquesans, we found French, Americans, English, Scotch, Spanish, Portuguese, Hawaiians, Samoans and Tahitians, over all the group, and mostly living on the same level with the natives. ENGLISH MISSION ON TAHUATA. For sixty-three years Tahuata has been, at intervals, the seat of missionary operations. The English missionary Crooke commenced here alone in 1797, his appointed associate, Harris, having forsaken him. From that time until Messrs. Stallworthy and Thompson left the field The Marquesas Mission. in 1841, efforts were made by English and French missionaries and Tahitian converts, to tame and Christianize the savages at Resolution but all with no apparent success, and, in despair, they abandoned Bay, REPORT the field.

They built a fort RTBEIVYU.SCOAN. on a headland commanding the harbor, the valley on either side, and the approaches from the ridges in the rear.

Kaiwi has occupied this station one year. It is a scathedand hard field, and the people generally seem indifferent to instruction. Twenty-five, however, attend school, more or less; two can read, and these two give some evidence of being real converts to the Gospel. Numbers came in at morning and evening prayers, among whom were Aniamioi, chief of the valley, and his wife. to be respected, and we think they are Our inisarionnries there getting a hold on the people which promises future fruit. PASSAGE TO HIVAOA, AND VISIT TO MISSION STATION. Taking Kaiwi on board, to go to the General Convocation of the Mission, we sailed for Hivaoa or La Dominica, on the night of the 12th. Kaiwi s wife and child remained at home. On account of calms and head winds, we were from the night of the 12th until Saturday P. M. of the 14th in beating around the western end and along the N. co*t of Hivaoa. At 2P. M. we dropped anchor in the beautiful little bay of Hanatetuua, the station of the Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha. Kauwealoha boarded us some five or six miles from the shore, and welcomed us with tears of gratitude and joy. The bay of Hanatetuua is somewhat smaller than Resolution Bay, but the anchorage is good, and it is of easy access. The beach is of white sand ; the valley is one mile long and about a quarter of a mile wide. It is filled with trees and shrubbery, and it is a perfect paradise of shade, luxuriance and beauty. A brook of good water runs babbling the whole length ofthe valley, filling the grove with sweet music. Half a mile up the valley, on the banks of this purling stream, surrounded and covered with lofty and unbrageous trees, stands the missionaries' house. It is a well-built structure of stone and mortar, 25 by 44 feet, walls 10 feet high, with a cellar, floor, doors and glazed windows. It is ample in size, and divided into three rooms. It is decidedly the best house in the mission, and it speaks well for the skill and energy of its builder. It was all done by Kauwealoha. On reaching his house, and being welcomed by his wife, he proposed kneeling down to render thanks to God for the events of the day. With tears of gratitude he inquired, " What shall 1 render to the Lord for all his benefits tome?" With Kauwealoha, we explored the whole valley, visited the huts and conversed with the natives. We were charmed with the scenery; Nature smiled in her loveliest robes—but everywhere sight and sound proclaimed " only man is vile." The population of this valley is 149. The school, which we examined, consists of 26 members, (all females,) at the head of whom is Kahiaui, the acknowledged chiefess of the upper part of the valley—a young woman, of a mild countenance and a quiet temper; she is very friendly to the missionaries, and attends all the schools and meetings. There are seven readers in this school, and their recitations of the Lord's Prayer and other lessons, were in such perfect time and melodious tone as almost to enchant the hearer. WAR AMONG THE PEOPLE, AND MISSIONARY INFLUENCE. War has not disturbed the repose of this valley since it has been occupied by the missionaries. It is inhabited by two clans, the upper and lower. Feuds have occasionally arisen between the two parties, but no blood shed. The reason assigned by the natives is, that as the missionaries occupy the center of the valley, they cannot pass them to fight each other—nor can they send the leaden messengers of death over their dwellings, or past their doors, or through the thicket which surrounds them. Thus they are mediators, and there is peace in the valley. All the people seem to respect them, though most stand aloof from (heir instructions. Kauwealoha has visited all the valleys of Hivaoa, and he is thoroughly acquainted with all the islands occupied by our missionaries. Everywhere he is known and honored by the people, and his person is everywhere safe. We spent true Sabbath, April 15, at this station. All the scholars attended the three services, and some forty or fifty others stood, sat and lay around, and under the trees where we met. Some talked, aome slept, some struck fire and smoked their pipes, some went, some came, and some walked to and fro with musket*, staffs, spears and bayonets fixed to poles. The men were all naked, except the rnaro. The women clothed in a liejht, drapery of paper-mulberry. ISLAND OF FATUIVA, FIRST ISLAND OCCUPIED BY HAWAIIAN MISSIONARIES. Hanatetuua, and taking the Rev. S. KauweLeaving Levi Kaiwi aloha on board, we sailed on Monday, the 16th, for Fatuiva or Magdalena, where we arrived on Tuesday, t*te 17th, at 4 P. M., and anchored in Omoa Bay. Rev. J. W. Kaiwi came on board and greeted us with tears of joy. As we landed upon the beach, we were delighted with the jocund rush and the joyful gambols of the children who crowded around with the hearty kaoha, and who pushed and struggled to get hold of our hands by the dozen. The adults also came out in numbers, and we were thus escorted by a chatting and laughing throng to the house of the missionary. Mrs. Hana Kaiwi was in waiting, and received us cordially. The house was immediately filled with natives, with eyes sparkling and faces beaming with delight. Here we found Abraham Natua, father of the faithful Marquesan, and Rebecca Koheniho, his believing wife. Here was the noble and amiable Joseph Kiiekai, with face beaming with smiles; and Eve Hipahipa was here, an aged saint, just on the borders of"a better land"; and here also was Elizabeth Kahia, wife of our Hawaiian, Puu, and daughter of the famed Makuunui. These five, members of the church at Omoa, were all with one accord in one place. Solomon Puu, also a churchmember, with Makuunui and ten others, were absent at Nuuhiva. Job Kohetaimamau, the seventh convert at Omoa, has gone the way of all at the earth. Never, perpaps, have I enjoyed a season of deeper or purer interest than in meeting these tamed savages, these happy Christian converts from amidst darkness the most deep, depravity the most profound, and pollutions the most loathsome. Abraham is a noble and steadfast man, and he is rapidly gaining in knowledge. He speaks a good deal of English, and he understands all that is said in Hawaiian native. His faith in Christ seems already rooted and strong, and the sneers and sophistry of European infidelity, like the winds upon the sturdy oak, only give it more vigor. Not long since, a sneering white man said to him, pointing to his lips, you are a missionary only up there. "No !" replied he in strong Saxon, "me missionary all over." This he related to me with corresponding gestures, and with great emphasis, while a glow of heavenly radiance shone through the sable cloud of tatooing which spreads over his face. but comely," said my heart, as I " Black, him, and the good Joseph, and their gazed with admiring wonder upon comrades in the Christian race. Omoa, on Fatuiva. is the first station occupied by our missionaries. For years all the strength of the pioneers was exerted here. Many discouragements arose, many apparently insurmountable obstacle's stood out, but prayers and tears and faith and patience and Christian love overcame them. The seed of truth took root; we see the blade, the ear, and the ripe corn await the sickle. Faith and patience will reap, in due time, a harvest of joy. VALLEY OF OMOA, ON FATUIVA. Omoa is the largest and most populous valley on Fatuiva. It is three miles deep, and in some places one mile wide, with five lateral branches or valleys, half to a mile deep; it contains more than 500 souls. A beautiful stream of water murmurs through it. On the right and left in the rear, it is guarded by lofty ramparts of rocks piled upon rocks in sublime grandeur. With Kauwealoha, I explored nearly the whole valley, entering many houses and speaking to many people. The valley is exceedingly fertile and luxuriant. It is crowded with bread-fruit, cocoanut, palm, candlenut, hybiscus, pandanus, banyan, South Sea Island chesnut, orange and other trees, so that in a ramble of four hours we were almost constantly covered with a canopy of living green. We saw tabu houses, tabu trees, tabu groves, tabu tombs, tabu of human sacrifice, tabu hogs, and tabu theaters or places for acivious dances, carnal feasts, lewd exhibitions, and loathsome indulgences, of which it is a shame even to speak. In the afternoon of Wednesday, the 18th, we attended the examination of the Omoa school. There are 63 scholars—38 readers and 25 filaces they also attend to arithmetic, geography and other lessons. The school appeared decidedly well; the scholars are bright and wakeful. After examination, we held a religious meeting for addressing the people on the great theme of redemption. Among others, Abraham and Joseph exhorted their neighbors to turn to the Lord. In the evening, the little church assembled at the house of their pastor to commemorate the dying love of their Lord. Five native members, the first fruits ofFatuiva, were present, and there were five from Hawaii, making tan of us in all. We all sat around a table, and together ate and drank the emblems of the body and blood of Jesus. We need not say that writers; �3 SUPPLEMENT TO THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1810. the scene was new, the love mutual, and the effect melting.

This was done on account of the difficulty and danger of getting in and out of the small bay of Hanahi. I took passage in one of the boats and spent the night with Brother Bicknell. Hanahi is a small and rocky valley, of only 90 souls. It is not well watered, and it is less inviting than the other valleys we have visited. The mission-house* is a very comfortable dwelling—mottled, plastered, floored and glazed, and with a stone basement, which serves as a cellar, store-house and work-shop. Mr. Bicknell gives as a reason for selecting this valley for a station, that it is a central position, having the valley of Hanapattoa, with a population of 350, on the west, and Motuua, with 90, and Nahoe, with 130 people, on the east, making 660 souls within one hour's walk. Mr. Bicknell has had about ten scholars at this station, and four renders. He is daily teaching and training two or three boys who live with him as domestics. Daniel Kohotete, the chief of this valley, is a Christian convert, and a member of the Marquesan church. He seemed joyous to meet us. Besides Hanahi, Mr. Bicknell has, during the past year, commenced a station at Hanamanu, fifteen miles to the west. This is a fine valley, well watered, with a population of 120 souls. «. It is the place where the Twilight, Capt. Hathaway, was wrecked in 1859. On Tuesday, the 24th, the balance of Mr. Bicknell's supplies came up from Puamau, and I returned in the boat to the Morning Star, when Capt. Brown took his anchor and endeavored to warp out of Puamau Bay, having taken on board the families here. The wind and swell being against us, the anchor was let go again, and we lay till morning. to VISIT TO THE RBV. A. KAUKAU's STATION. fOn Wednesday, the 25th of April, we sailed for Hanaiapa, the station Rev. A. Kaukau. distant some 14 miles to the west, where we arrived at noon. This is the place selected by the missionaries for general meeting, and the selection was well made. The bay is safe, the landing good, the valley most luxuriant, food abundant, the house convenient, water exhaustless, and the hostand hostess generous, polite and attentive. After exchanging salutations, dining, etc., I explored the valley, and was delighted with its luxuriance and beauty. From the shore to the cliffs, it is an emerald bower, an Eden of shade, enchantingly silvan, with an ample brook murmuring all the length of the valley. Men, women and children flocked out in numbers to see us, and to hail us welcome. This valley is about half a mile wideband four miles deep, with a population of 224. GENERAL MEETING OF MISSIONARIES. All the missionaries were now assembled, except Mrs. Naomi Kekela and Mrs. Louisa Kaiwi, who found it inconvenient to leave home. At 8 o'clock on the evening of Wednesday, April 25, the Convention organized by appointing the Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha, Moderator, and > Rev. James Kekela, Scribe. The Meeting continued its sessions by successive adjournments, until Monday, the 30th. At the opening of every session, half an hour was consecrated to prayer. Written and verbal reports were presented by all the brethren on the labors, the condition and the prospects of their respective stations. Foreign correspondence was read; a committee appointed to answer the from the Hawaiian Missionary Society. General Letter W. Kaiwi asked advice as to his proposed visit to Hawaii The Rev. J. to leave his little girl Emma, about four years old. The Mission advised him not to leave his field this year, and he acquiesced cheerfully,*, w~ Mr. Bicknell proposed that the Mission build a small vessel, chiefly from the wreck of the Twilight, to run among the islands in aid of their work. This proposition was examined at length, and negatived. Expediency of introducing the rite of Christian marriage among the Marquesans. This was negatived, except in cases where the parties became Christians. The subject of schools was discussed. The want of books was considered, and Messrs. Bicknell, Kauwealoha, Kekela and Kn.ukau, were elected a committee to prepare a small Hymn Book, a child's Arithmatic, and a brief Scripture History. Salaries came up, and the brethren expressed themselves satisfied with the appropriations of our Society on this point Appropriations for building and repair of houses were considered, and several requests presented for aid, which were approved by the Mission. These will come before the Directors in their proper place. And here let me remark, that the dwellings of most of the mission families are comfortable. They are in size, style, convenience, furniture and neatness, vastly superior to the best of the native huts. They form a distinguishing feature in the scenery around, and a distinct landmark for all who approach these stations. There is an air of civilization, an aspect of elevation, about the poorest even of them, still their dwellings are nil on the scale of economy—the brethren struggle to secure them, and some of them need help; as, for example, Paulo Kapohaku, who has neither windows, doors or floor,lnd whose furniture within sinks almost below zero. Appropriate labors of the Sisters of the Mission was a subject of free and interesting conversation, the females being present. Returning of children to Hawaii was freely discussed. Preaching from house to house occupied attention. It was a subject of much interest. Tours, or visiting other valleys, was a subject of free conversation. Daily avocations became a subject of inquiry. Social and commercial relations of the missionaries with the natives was discussed. Danger of worldliness was a subject of free conference. Personal safety of missionaries. All expressed the opinion that, both at home and in traveling around the islands, they were as safe as in any other country. They disclaim all fear. Their names and persons are sacred everywhere. Boarding School.—This was considered, and it was resolved to try the experiment of a self-supporting school for boys. Kaukau was appointed teacher, and Hanaiapa the locality. Sending out native converts to preach among the people. This was discussed and approved. What elements in the missionaries' character are essential to success. Another Reinforcement. —This is desired and needed. Several valleys on Hivaoa, on Nuuhiva, Uapou and Uahuna are said to desire Protestant missionaries. Obstacles to the Work. —These were considered, and they are many and great. Superinduced to the natural depravity and degradation of the Marqucsan, their isolation in deep and almost inaccessible valleys, their lack of all law or government, their deep-rooted superstitions, their ancient and numerous tabus, their clanish jealousies, their wars and cannibal habits, all tend to render their moral redemption hopeless, except to the eye of faith. Add to all these the steady and certain influence of a large proportion of whaleships and other foreigners who visit them, and you have an array of obstacles which rise as a wall of adamant to heaven, and defy all power but Omnipotence. Nearly every ship which visits these shores is filled with vile females, and thus the scHools in which our missionaries have toiled and prayed are often entirely broken up, their labors and expenses lost, and their hearts sickened, burdened and well-nigh crushed. These harpies in human form; these representatives of great, enlightened, glorious and Christian nations; these are the obstacles which most hinder the missionaries' work, which blight their hopes, and which sink the degraded heathen into deeper and ever-deepening shades of pollution and ruin. Still there are brighter features to the picture. In looking at the Encouragements in the work, the brethren see many evidences of the smiles of Heaven on their labors. To some of these we may allude hereafter. Next came the question : Shall the Mission be Continued ?—The affirmative was sustained by argument, by acclamation, and by asseveration. One said, God sent us here—not man. He has preserved us and our wives and little ones, in perils by sea, in perils among robbers, and in perils by war. He has given us influence and favor among all the people, so that our names are sacred, our persons safe. He has made us mediators between blood-thirsty and vindictive foes. He has drawn numbers from the tabus and from all heathen orgies,and made them our docile pupils. He has made our houses cities of refuge from the avenger of blood. And, above all, Hehas given us souls. There is a church. there are Christians, saints, here. Gospel seed has germanated, and we must watch and water the tender plants, lest they wither and die. Christ has sheep and lambs here—we must stay and feed them. Kauwealoha said that he could not put his hand to the plow and look back. That he had consecrated himself to this work, and he must live and die in it. That if the Hawaiian Missionary Society reduced their salaries from 200 to 100 dollars, they would remain and not murmur; that if they abandoned them altogether, they would cast themselves on Providence and their own resources. Finally, said he, " I was born in a malo, I was baptized in a malo, and I can return to my malo and die in a malo, but I cannot abandon the people whom I love more than my earthly kindred and my native land. Paul, continued he, knew how to be full and to be hungry. He was all things to all men that be might by all means save some. We can do the same. The climate is mild, and it is no shame to wear a malo here. We can live on the fruits of �5 SUPPLEMENT TO THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1860. a wild assemblage of hills and valleys, of spurs and ridges, of profound gulfs and yawning chasms, ofneedles more wonderful than Cleopatra's, of leaning towers outvieing the famed one of Pisa, of cones rounded, rent, ragged, upright, inclined, truncated, inverted; of precipices at every angle, bald, green carpeted, festooned, grooved, fluted; of rocks piled upon rocks, of mountain towering above mountain, of battlement frowning against battlement, as if a sea of molten rocks had been suddenly solidified while rolling in lofty and elevated waves, sinking in awful gulfs, boiling in caves and domes, or spouting in fiery pillars and jets against the sky.

It mingles features of the beautiful with the sublime and awful; as if Pluto had melted the bowels of the earth, and Vulcan had forged and cast them into every conceivable figure.

The Committee appointed to take into consideration the affairs of Oahu College, respectfully report Oahu College is s child of Providence, founded in faith to supply a strongly felt want. It has been matured by prayer, and consecrated to the cause of education and religion. At its commencement it was rather s private than a public school, as it was designed exclusively for those connected with the American Mission. Afterwards it was placed on a broader foundation, and its privileges thrown open to all. That an Institution of a high order is needed at these Islands, no one can doubt. The history of the Institution, though a short one, shows conclusively that the founders of Oahu College were not mistaken when they felt that suoh a Seminary was needed. There have gone out from it those who have taken a very high stand in the best colleges of our Fatherland, some of whom are exerting an influence for good in this land. These being facts, we think the time has come when we at the Hawaiian Islands should do more than has heretofore been done to place the Institution on a permanent foundation. Therefore we propose the following resolutions for adoption by this Association : : Resolved, That we sympathise with the Trustees of Oahu College In their efforts to establish an Institution of a high order upon these Islands. Resolved, That, In our opinion, the time has come when a strong effort should be put forth at these Islands to place the Oahu College on a permanentbasis. Resolved, That we respectfully suggest to the Trusteesof the Institution to make Immediate efforts at tbeae Islands to found to be called the King's Professorship a Professorship of of and that we pledge to them our sympathy, co-operaaccomplishment and toe the of this object. prayers tion Resolved, That we respectfully ask the Trusteesof the Institution to take measures to reduce the expenses of the Institution. Resolved, That we sympathise with the Faculty of theInstitution In their arduous duties,and that we have the fullest con fldence In thepresent Professor and the lately elected President, believing that they will carry out the object for which the InstiRespectfully submitted, tution was founded. Jobs Y. Poena, T. Coin. , , OahuColeg.-The examination of this institution took place on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. The exercises were unusually Interesting and creditable to both teachers and scholars. From a catalogue of the scholars, we learn that there have been connected with the Institution during the year, 88 in tbs English course, 27 in the classioal and 6 in the collegiate, making a total of 70 scholars. Perhaps we cannot better express the sentiment of those present at the examination than by inserting here the report of the examining committee : To the Trustees of Oahu College I GssTXaMSM :—ln aooordanoe with your polite invitation, the unosrsigned proceeded, op tbe 22nd and 23rd instant, to discharge the duty of an Examining Committee for the College, regretting exceedingly the absence of the Hon. J. W. Borden and the Rev. Mr. Dole, whose assistance had been promised us. Your Committee congratulate you, gentlemen, and through you the public, and more especially those parents having children in attendance, on the efficiency of the course of instruction in this institution. The examination in the Greek and Latin classics, was on selected portions of Horace, Virgil, Juvenal, and Livy— for the Latin, Homer, Thucydidee; and tbe Aloestis for the Greek. The mode of instruction adopted by the teachers, is certainly most effective, and the performance of the pupils such as to assure us, that we shall have just cause of pride in those who go "home" this year to obtain the advantages of older and more richly—endowed institutions. The recitations and demonstrations in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Conic Sections, were perfkct, giving your Committee assurance, that those studies were being prosecuted with the greatest possible benefit to the pupils. Your Committee would speak with the greatest consideration of the classes taught by Mr. Waldau, (Musical Teacher.) The youth of the school are obtaining an education in this branch, which they could, two or three years since, scarcely have hoped to have obtained at these Islands. The influence of the Amateur Musical Society of this city, of which society several of the older pupils are members, has contributed, undoubtedly, to the advancement of the pupils. Messrs. Hosslocber and Waldau, as educators, are a great acquisition to the community, and we venture to hope that they may become established among us. When we have spoken of the proficiency of the more advanced classes, of course, by inference, we have spoken in the same way of those not so far advanced, since it is only by traveling on the right road that any can attain to favorableresults. Your Committee found on tbe ground the indefatigable Pastor of the Fort Street Church, who, notwithstanding the arduous labors of caring for a large congregation, takes upon himself the duties of Teacher of Biblical History thus benefiting the Institution, by his presence and counsel, and shaming many others who have more time to devote to the cause, and should have equal interest in it. The most pleasing feature in the examination was to see the young ladies of the school contending so successfully with their brothers and friends, in the race of scholarship. Your Committee cannotentertain a duobt that the presence of both sexes in tbe school is equally advantageous to each. In conclusion, permit us to suggest that the teaching of modern languages should, in our opinion, be a fixed fact in the school, and the learning of them free to all, and indeed required of all attendants. A little more attention to distinct enunciation would be desirable. Hoping that this slight critioism, where there is so muoh to commend, will be kindly received, and expressing the sincerest hope for the future prosperity of your institution, we remain Your ob't servt's, Charles C. Harris. G. P. Judd. Hosolclo, Oahu, May 26,1880. Schools for Giris.—The establishment of the Makiki Family School partially supplies a want which has long existed, and if the accommodation now offered there is not soon taken up, we shall be greatly disappointed. There is a large number of native and half-caste children in Honolulu alone, who cannot be properly trained and educated at home, and who, without suoh training and education, are almost certain to grow up to uselsasnest, if not to something worse. They should be placed nnder the best possible influences, while young, and no sensible parent can ever regret having expended money in giving a good education to his ohild ; bnt we fear there are many in the Hawaiian Islands, who will deeply regret, when it is too late, tbe having neglected those to whom they were bound either by natural or legal relations, or by both. It would seem to be unnecessary to remind any at all acquainted with the influences to which the native children are unavoidably exposed, that if they are to be virtuous, industrious and respectable in after life, their proper every-day education must commence early, be constant, and long continued ; for learn they will either good or evil, and at the very best, they will learn too much ofthe latter. While the majority have neglected their children almost altogether, others have made'a good beginning, but have erred fatally, in withdrawing their children from school, and the watchful care of their instructors, at an early age, and their half completed education has in some esses, only served to make their subsequent disgrace conspicious. Let us hope that many have learned wisdom by experience. We are happy to know that their Majesties the King and Queen, tbe most intelligent of the chiefs, and many of the foreign residents have interested themselves in the establishment of family schools for girls. Having seen the inadequacy of all other systems of eduoation that have been tried, and knowing that such family schools, if well tried and supported, will accomplish the end desired, they have liberally contributed the means to start the Makiki school, and hope that those most directly interested will support it by placing their children there, and paying tbe reasonable charges for board, tuition, &c. No body expects to make any money out of this enterprise, but something vastly better than money may be made and saved out of it, or by it. These remarks have been suggested by the advertisement of the Trusteesof the Makiki Family School' in this paper, and may apply with equal force to the schools which are being established, or soon may be on the other islands ; and it is a subject which should be '• kept before the people," and we hope that the Representatives of tbe people, will take a large slice off from the proposed appropriation for tbe military and other exhorbitant items, and give it in aid of the above mentioned, and other similar schools.—P. C. Adv. Death or J. W. E. Maikai.—We regret to announce the death of this young Nobleman. He had already distinguished himself for superior judgment, and the King and Chiefs began to place much confidence in him. He was a graduate of Lahainaluna, and at the time of his death, held the office of Adjutant-General, and was also a member of the House of Nobles. He died on the 27th, aged about 32 years, and as one of the Nobles remarked, his death is a publio loss, for he was one of our "best men." A Sailor's Gift, or a Bible in Brazil. A traveler in Brazil had a pleasing surprise. He was wandering by the sea-side, when he saw a pretty dwelling in a grove. The master of the house invited him to enter, and desired a negro boy to climb a tree, and pluck a cocoanut to refresh the stranger. While resting in the parlor, the traveler saw a large book upon the table. " What book is this?" he asked. "The Bible." "How long have you had it?" "Eight or nine years." How did you obtain it?" "It was given me by a sailor." "It seems to have been used a great deal." "Oh yes! I am very fond ofreading; it is so instructive and so comforting. But I find it very difficult to keep it home. My neighbors are often borrowing it of me, for they love to read it. I have let it go out to places far and near; but, now that it is at home, I think .1 shall part with it no more." What!" said the stranger, "are there no more Bibles besides yours?" "I know of none. Most people who borrow it say they have neverseen such a book before." " Well, I suppose you would not object to lend that Bible, if you had another quite clean and new ?" Certainly not." Then I will sendyou one that I have on board the ship I came by." Will you, Yes, gladly; and a number of indeed?" testaments and tracts also, that you may distribute them among those friends of yours who are fond of resiling the Bible." •> Oh ! how thankful I shall be." The traveler drank the sweet cocoanut milk, rejoicing at having found some souls in that land who thirsted or the sweeter milk of Christ's word.
