Sydney, N. S. Wales, June 21, 1859.
Mr. Sturoes—Dear Sir :—You will doubtless bo startled when you receive this letter, it
coming from one who, according to all probabilities, had left this world behind, to try the realities of the next; but an overruling Providence
ordered it otherwise—l was spired to grapple
again with the world, and a coldand selfish world
1 found it. After three years' suffering, and
enduring everything but death, I was landed in
Sydney on the 17th of July, 1856, broken down
in health and with not clothing enough to cover
my body, without money, and ill at the time.
I was hurried off to the Infirmary, where I lay
nine weeks, and after leaving there, it was five
months before I was able to do a day's work.
By this you will see that if ever poor mortal
suffered it was myself; but enough of this at
present, you shall have more of it before the
wind-up," as the sailor would say.
" Doubtless
you have heard all the particulars
of my leaving Raven's Island in company with a
boat s crew for the purpose of going to Ascension to get assistance, as our ship had been
wrecked, of which I suppose you know all the
therefore 1 need not mention them,
left my wife and fellow passengers Jan. 15th,
1854, with a light breeze, in hopes that we
should light Ascension by sundown, but how
often a sunshiny morning turns out a rainy
day ; alas! it was so in our case, for about
three o'clock the wind changed, and we headed
within two points of our course. We continued
on this course until dark, when the wind changed
again and we were obliged to put the boat round
on the other tack, which did not allow us to lay
within six points of our course; to add to this,
the night was very dark. The wind blowing a
gale by this time, the sea was so rough that we
were obliged to take in the sail, after which we
driftedfor an hour. The gale increasing every
moment, at last we thought it advisable to try to
get back to Raven's Island ; we then put up
sail and ran before the wind. It being thick
and stormy and our boat running much faster
than we hadany idea of, before we hove to,
(which was about three o'clock the next morning.) by the time it was daylight, I think we
had drifted by the Islands. It continued to blow
all that day, and the weather so thick, that we
could not take an observation until the next day,
when we found ourselves forty miles to the
leeward of Raven's Island, with a gale of wind
and heavy sea against us. Well, we battled
away with wind and waves for three days longer,
and kept getting farther away, and no sign of
the weather breaking. We then determined to
make for a small group of islands called the
Bordaliers, but we were doomed to be disappointed again ; the wind would not allow us to reach
those islands, and we were obliged to land the
seventh day after leaving Raven's Island. We
landed about forty miles to the southward of the
Bordalitrt, on a (mall island where there was a

out in the boat, we threw ourselves down to We landed in the night, and laid down on the
rest; but our rest was of short duration, for no beach and slept until morning, when we made a

the work of murder; Capt. Brown received his death wound and died about an hour
after the ali'ray, and it was only by fighting like
demons that any of us were left to tell the tale.
After we had succeeded in beating the natives
off, we gained possession of our boat, but they
had completely robbed us of all wo had except
what was on our backs—boat-sail, chart, compass, and sextant, with our provisions, wero also
taken. Wo only had our boat and oars to depend upon, and the wide ocean before us, with
one man in the last agonies of death, and two
moro severely wounded and lying in the bottom
of the boat. Wo then put to sea, one to steer
the boat and two to pull, poor Brown breathing
his last, and two more that I did not expect to
live any length of time. In the fight with the
natives I only received one blow from them,
which did not do much damage. I cannot tell
how I escaped, for I was first and foremost, and
in the thickest of it, the spears passed me in
every direction. I did not think of trying to
dodge their missiles, nor had I any fear, at the
time, of being killed; all my fear that I recollect was, that they would get the boat and leave
us no chance of escape. Two others and myself
succeeded in saving the boat, and we left the island about three o'clock in the afternoon ; and
about four the same afternoon we committed
poor Brown's body to the deep. Thiß was the
most trying scene in my life. Poor Brown had
his reason until a few moments of his last breath;
he talked at tiroes until he died. I had known
Brown in New Zealand, but did not know anything respecting him or his wife and family until
after he had received his death wound. He then
told me that he had some difficulty with the
wife's family, and that he had deserted wife and
children and resolved to bury himself among the
islands. He then told us how he had lived,
and advised us all not to lead the life that he
had led, for he said that he had sinned post re-
hajpui
demption. He had only a few moments to live,
and that time was too short for him to make his
peace with God. I then told him that I had
read that Christ had died to save sinners, and
quoted several passages of Scripture to him ; he
then asked me to pray for him. This was a
difficult task for me to perform, (one that had
scarcely prayed for himself,) to be called upon
by a dying man to pray. I was almost frightened to try, lest God should think it presumption,
and in his wrath should strike me speechless, but
being pressed by poor Brown I tried ; I prayed
that poor B.s sins would be forgiven him ; I
prayed also that my sins might be forgiven me,
and I did not stop there, I prayed for all. After
I had finished praying, Brown conversed for a
little, then a young man that was one of the
sailors on board of the ship, prayed; and I
never heard a better prayer addressed to the
Throne of Grace. This young man had been a
member of the Methodist Church for five years
before leaving home, but bad company had led
him the wrong road; he had not however forgotten the right track when difficulty overtook
him. After this prayer, Brown talked a little,
and we advised him to try and pray for himself;
but bis reply was, it was useless ; yet the poor
fellow did pray, only a few words were distinctly heard by any of us. He died sitting upright
between my knees, and the last words that the
poor man uttered were these: God have
mercy, God have mercy on my poor soul!" He
then opened his eyes, and his whole countenance
was changed; he looked quite calm, and if one
might judge, I should say that poor Brown had
made his peace with God. He then looked
around and leaned his head over on my lap and
died. We buried him as I before stated, than
we recommended ourselves to Almighty God, and
got out of sight of theland as soon as we could.

of the island, and we found that it
hud been inhabited. There were about twenty
native houses and several large canoe-sheds, but
i no natives. Tho island abounded with breadfruit, cocoanuts, taro, and bananas ; it was like-
| survey
'
wise swarming with chickens. My trapping
boy, was a great help to us now, for the
chickens were us wild as hawks ;so I sat about
making some traps, and that day we sat down to
the sweetest meal I think that any of us sat
down to in our lifetime, for we had only fifteen
small biscuits between five of us for four days.
We rented ourselves for several days, and then
made a survey of the other two islands, where we
found two natives, who gave us to understand
that the people had gone to an island to the eastward, and would return again as soon as the
breadfruit camo in again. We then set about
getting something to make a sail; therefore we
had to set our wits to work, and find something
that would answer the purpose, und what do you
think it was? I am sure that you would never
guess, so I will tell you —it was the thin webbing that supports the limb of the cocoanut tree.
You often see plenty of it on your walks in Ascension. I think that we had to destroy about a
hundred of these trees to procure enough to complete a sail for our boat. Our' sail was made
something after the style of a patch-work quilt.
We had to make it three-double, and etitili it
through and through. There was nota single piece
in thesail more than eight inches square, so you
will see that this was work in earnest. We just
gut it done in time, for the natives came back
and we were obliged to trust ourselves upon the
sea again, and this apology of a sail carried us
nine hundred miles in twenty-one days, arid the
first seven days at sea I think were as heavy
weather as ever I witnessed in all my time at tea,
but no accident happened to us. We subsisted
on one cocoanut and half a pint of water each
man per day. We left the Caroline Group on
the 24th of February, and landed on Sir Charles
Hardy's Island on the 20th of March, which
made us twenty-one days and twenty-two nights
on the water. By this time we were nearly done
up, as they would say in my country. Our
cocoanuts were nearly gone, and our water all
gone, and this being the first land we had seen,
we resolved to go ashore, for we knew in a short
time we must perish at sea, or land and be
murdered by the savages, and we chose the
latter. We recommended ourselves to the care
of Almighty God, and put our boat before the
wind, and went ashore amongst the thickest of
the natives. We fully expected to be murdered,
but were happily disappointed, for instead of
falling into the hands of the Philistines, we fell
into the bands of the good Samaritans, who took
us in and fed us, and I shall always remember
them with gratitude for theirkindness to me and
my fellow sufferers. These natives had never
seen the face of a civilized man before ; they had
never seen an article of European manufacture
before; a kind Providence cast us on these shores.
They stripped us of our clothing, tore the garments in pieces, and divided them among the
people ; some had a trousers leg, others had a
shirt sleeve, and others a piece as large as your
hand, until it was all disposed of, and all theso
pieces were preserved as precious relics. The
next ordeal was an operation that I was not at
all partial to, that was, the process of shaving;
but they soon whipped the hair off of our heads
and the beard from our faces. Their razors were
in a bad condition, and where they shaved close
they took skin and all, so that I decided
they were bad barbers. Well, the next process
was to oil and paint us, and dress us after the
fashion of the island. We were then as comical
a looking set of fellows as you would see in a
long march, painted red from the top of the
head down to the hips, and a piece of bark, man-

ufactured into a kind of tapa, which they girded
around our loins; hung strings of whales'teeth
around our necks, with sharks' teeth, in strings,
around our arms, and a head-dress whi'di in U-yond my power to describe. I never saw but
one thing that I could compare this head-dress
to, and that is, an old hawk's nest it was composed of sticks, feathers, gross and leaves, and
this completed the dress. Five more ridiculouslooking objects could not, in my opinion, have
been found in this world. 1 am suro there never
were five sadder hearts than ours; wo could not
understand a word of their talk, and could not
tell what they intended to do with us, but we
soon discovered that it was all in kindness to us,
;
for we were allowed to walk about as we pleased,
and the best that was in the land was placed before us: but we were not allowed long to enjoy
it, for the exposure so long in the boat, and a
change of diet, soon brought us to the verge of
the grave. We were all taken ill about the same
time ; two of our number died the two following
months after landing ; two of us recovered, but
the other poor fellow did not, but gradually declined until the 15th of January, 1856. f was
unconscious of everything for fourteen days.
Previous to my sickness I had kept the day of
the month by a string around my neck, and for
every day I tied a knot; whilst I was ill another
kept the time, and by this means we knew the
day of the month. 1 had forgotten to tell you
that they broke up our boat for the purpose of
getting the nails and iron work, which was converted by us afterward into chisels and choppers,
which they found very useful, for previously
they used bones and shells for cutting purposes.
Nothing transpired on the island worthy of
notwfrom the 10th of May, 1854, up to the 12th
of January, 1856, when 1 left the island in a
canoe, in company with a native boy ; the other
white man that was well and hearty, had agreed
to accompany me, but when the time came for
leaving he was too much of a coward to trust
himself to Old Neptune; and the other poor
fellow was too weak to accompany me, although
he begged hard to do so. The natives tried to
persuade me to give it up, but I had got the
King's consent, and he had given me one ofhis
canoes, and I knew that this was the only plan
to regain my liberty; and if God seconded my
endeavors, I should in time reach a civilized
country. The poor fellow that begged so hard
to accompany me, died the next day after I left
the island. Well, I must tire your patience a few
moments longer by tracing me through what
people call my mad adventure. I left the island
about eight o'clock in the morning, with a light
wind. I had a sail, and the little canoe skipped
along over Old Ocean"s billows like a thing of
life ; but bow often a sunshiny morning turns
out a rainy day—it was so in this case. About
three o'clock in the afternoon it became very
squally, our little bark was upset, we lost our
sail and all of our provisions except seven cocoanuts and two pints of water. The native boy
and myself drifted by the side of the canoe, retaining each a paddle and bailer, until sundown,
when the wind fell and the sea, in an hour's
time, was as placid as a duck pond. We then
commenced paddling our course to the southward, and on the 19th of January we made land,
and landed on the 20th, at sunrise. We made
this passage with seven cocoanuts and two pints
of water between the two of us. This was the
toughest time I ever had, for I had nothing to
shield me from the sun ; I was literary blistered
from head to foot, and at times quite delirious.
It would be tedious to relate all the particulars
that occurred when I landed among this strange
people, but suffice it to say, that after a few
native pranks in order to frighten me, they used
me better, if anything, than those that I had
just left. These poor natives had never seen a
white man before, but they had heard of white
men through one native who bad drifted out to
sea in company with five others that perished,
and this one was saved by an English trading

Captain Gelett, of the missionary packet Morning
Star, has, at oar request, made out the following report of the brig's fourth voyage to Micronesia.
We left Honolulu Jane Bth, 1860, oar first stopping
place being Apaiang, of the King's Mill Islands, at
which place we arrived on Friday, 22d. The missionaries, the Rev. Hiram Bingham, with his Hawaiian
assistants, Mr. Mahoe and Mr. Kanoa, met us near
the entrance of the lagoon, and I need not say that
we received a hearty and cordial welcome. They
were all in comfortable health, although Mr. and
Mrs. Bingham were looking somewhat worn by their
labors. Mr. Bingham was much pleased to find that
I had brought his long looked for sail boat, which
had been ordered from Boston, and with which he
intends to visit the neighboring islands, and thus extend his missionary operations. The services on the
Sabbath wen most interesting; the bouse was well
filled, though not with the most orderly of oongrega.
Islands for his health.
Mr. Doane's congregation on the Sabbath was large
and very attentive, and his prospects for usefulness
seem to be very encouraging. While here we landed
three natives of the island, who had been kidnapped
a few months previously by the ship Moctezuma,
Capt. Tinker, bat had succeeded in escaping from his
ship at Ascension. The poor fellows were overjoyed
to get back .to their home again, and the king and
chiefs expressed much gratitude to us for returning
them. Suoh acts of lawlessness as this are dangerous aa well as wrong, and may result in fearful retribution upon innocent heads. We sailed for Apaiang
on the 22d, reaching that place on the 80th where we
remained five days, leaving Sept 4th, and reached
Tarawa the same day, where we left the Rev. Mr.
Mahoe, of Apaiang, and Mr. Haina, who same with
us from Honolulu. Mr. Aia, oar other passengers
from Honolulu, was left at Ebon. The chiefs and

We are all well; love to all.
What a Mysterv of Crime is this Pacific
.
Ocean."
We copy this remurk from the letter of
the Rev. A. A. Sturgos, the Missionary at
Ascension, from whose vnluahle correspondence we make so many extracts. He furnishes the following as two very good illustrations of this remark, " What a mystery of
crime is this Pacific Ocean."
Prominent among the passengers of the
Sarah Morse was an elderly woman, going
by the name of " Ross," who was said to
have in her keeping some $70,000 in gold.
Her " man" was set ashore on a small island, in the South Pacific, by the Captain.
The reason given for the deed was, that he
quarreled with his wife. The passengers
thought it was that be might possess himself
of the money ; he had not got possession when
he left here. Mrs. Lozee writes from Hongkong, that Ross finally got away from the
prison where he was left, and went to California, but not finding Captain Woodberry
there, went to Hongkong, met him in the
street and shot him dead !
Capt Brown, of whom Mr. Lozee speaks,
was the Brown of Strong's Island, of whom
you have doubtless heard. He left his ship
there in 1853, tried to form a settlement at
the South harbor, and being drivPh off by
order of the king, put to sea in a whale boat
with 27 souls on board, a good lot of Strong's
Island girls in the company. He started to
come to Ascension, but on renching McAskills, he landed, spent some time there, (as
we afterwards learned, when we were there
in Jan. 1855,) and then went to Raven's Islands, where he was. when the Sarah Morse
went ashore. (Brown was the pilot.) A
Captain who was in at Strong's Island with
Captain Brown, has since told me that he,
8,. killed one of his men, and _hnd another
under water almost dead, when he and others
went to the rescue ! Brown was a desperate
man, and fearful was his end ; perhaps however, like the thief on the Cross, he found
mercy at the last hour, but no one will venture in his footsteps, hoping to escape merited
punishment by a death bed repentance.
What a mystery of crinfc is this Pacific!
When the sea shall give up its dead, what
revelations of guilt, till then unknown to the
civilized world ! How many who have been
honored as dying with no stain upon their
name, will rise to judgment with shame and
everlasting confusion upon their faces!
But there is a change coming—the abundance of the seas shall all be converted to the
Lord ; and how changed this world will be !
how delightful to live in those days, and
how more delightful to help to bring them
on!
We long to see the groups to the westward ; the time is not far distant when the
savages there will learn to treat poor sailors
cast ashore among them, a little better than
they treated our friend Lozee. What a
shame that some of our government vessels, rotting out at such places as Honolulu, don't look in upon these lone spots to see
if they can't find some good to do. in the

Washington National Monument.
We are glad to learn that this monument
is still rising, for when finished it will be a
permanent and enduring testimonial to the
Father of his Country. The purchase of
Mount Vernon, and the erection of this
monument, are two enterprises worthy of the
cordial support of every American citizen,
If the ladies are responat home or abroad
sible for the purchase of the former, surely
the gentlemen ought not to allow the cause
ol the other to languish.
We learn that J. Fuller, Esq., has been
nppointed by the National Monument So"
ciety," at Washington, to solicit subscriptions
to the fund. Who that may lay claim to
the title of American citizen, will not give
one dollar, to be enrolled as a member of
said society ? Let the necessary steps be
taken, and we are confident a long list oL
subscribers might be received. Can any one
inform us whether any block of coral, or lava,
has been sent forward, to form an integral
portion of that monument ? It is surely becoming that the Land of the Kamehamehas
should be represented in a monument to
Washington ! If the sword of a Washington
won for his country and people political
liberty, it may be recorded to the everlasting
honor of a Kamehameha, that lie gave both
civil and political liberty to his subjects,
without unsheathing his sivord.
The Rev. C. Van Rensselaer.—In the
late New York Observer, Independent, and
some of the secular as well as all the religious American papers, we notice obituaries
and eulogies upon the late Rev. Cortlandt
Van Rensslaer, D. D., of Philadelphia. At
the time of his death he was editor of the
Presbyterian Magazine, and Secretary of
the Board of Education of the Presbyterian
Church.
It was our privilege to have been honored
with the acquaintance of this gentleman,
long before he became so widely known and
extensively useful. At the period to which
we allude, 1838-9, he was Pastor of the
Presbyterian Church in Burlington city, New
Jersey; and as we were teaching a private
school in that city, he invited us to superintend the Sabbath School of his church.
Being thus brought into the most intimate
connection with him, we can testify that the
eulogistic remarks which we have read, are
not exaggerated. He was a rare man, and
combined those traits which elevated him to
a highly enviable position among the clergy
of America. As the son of the Patroon of
�TUG I" II I H D
Albany, he inherited a fortune, but that was
employed in a way and manner calculated to
benefit his fellow men. In all the social relations and public positions of life, he evinced
a spirit of enlarged benevolence and conscientious regard for the Church of Christ.
He was most emphatically a model Christian
gentleman and divine, beloved by not only
Presbyterians, but the members of nil other
denominations.
If any changes should be permanently
and finally made by the U. S. Government,
in providing for seamen entitled to its protection and support, we hope this may be
one, viz., that those seamen who do not re-
quire medical aid, but merely board and
lodging, should be sent to the Sailor's Home.
Seamen (the same ns other persons) who are
in health, have an instinctive repugnance to
boarding and lodging among the sick at an
hospital, however comfortable, clean and wellconducted that hospital may be. There has
been frequent complaint among shipwrecked
and distressed seamen upon this very point.
The Sailor's Home is the proper place for
such persons, and it is for the interest of the
seafaring community to sustain the Home,
and surely the U. S. Government ought to
do its part, the same as the British Government is now doing,

Reports of Whaleships.
Report of ship Rapid.
Capt. Drew furnishes us with the following account of a series
of disastersrarely surpassed in one season's cruise :—" While
the ship Rapid was laying tfami on the harbor of Guam, on
the night of March 24, about 8 o'clock, she waa discovered to be
on fire. It burnt very rapidly, the names breaking out at the
forward hatch, and the smoke being very dense, it was impossi-
<
ble to get at the lire. The hatei.es were closed and covered
with wet blankets and bedding ; fourholes were then cut in the
deck, and water forced into thehold. At 7 o'clock in the morning the pilot came on board and took the ship into port. The
ship had then some live feet of water, but not being able to extinguish the fire, three two-inch auger holes were bored below
the water line on the starboard side, and the ship soon had nine
feet of water in the hold. The hatches were then taken off, and
men sent below with buckets of water, put out the fire. It was
found to be to the lower hold abaft the fore hatch, and had
been kindled with a barrel or pitch and old shooking, both of
whichhad been taken from betweer decks, as the pitch had
been stowed there the day previous. The ship was pumped and
baled out in thirteen hours. The lower deck beams, cariine and
ceiling were badly charred, and the foremast burnt some. No
proof could be found against any of the crew, although two of
the crew are suspected of being the incendiaries. On the 26th
June,while trying to make a harbor during a N.E. gale, under
double-reefed topsail and fore topmast staysail, steering and
dodging the ice, which waa thickand heavy, a strong current
round the point set the ship on to a sunken rock, which she
struck very hard. She was fast nearly six hours, having at
low tide only Aye inches of water under her bows, and five
fathoms under the stern. On rise of the tide, made sail into
the harbor, and came to anchor with 42 inches of water in the
hold ; in five hours pumping freed the ship; we found that she
was making 15 inches of water per hour; kept the pumps
almost constantly going; made a box-pump, and after much
trouble in getting clear of the ice, sailed for Ayan, where we
arrived on the 6th of July, and warped into the inner harbor.
There being no facilities to heave down the ship, and as it was
not prudent to start while she was leakingat the rate of 36,000
to 38,000 strokes in 24 hours, we discharged the cargo and
hauled the ship up on the beach at low water. Found the false
keel was gone, about 20 feet stem and keel badly split and
chafed to pieces, copperand sheathing gone from the keel, say
from 10 to 12 feet, gariward streaks open on both sides an far as
the keel was split. We went to work on the repairs by digging
under the keel—a difficult operation with unsuitable tools, and
one tide in 24 hours—and succeeded in building a box over the
scar, with tared blankets and pine plank. On the 21st of July
we hauled tne ship off to an anchorage, and found her comparatively tight; re-loaded and sailed July 31. Steered to the S.E.,
and fell in with thick fogs and N.E. gales ; saw whales between
the main and Sugar l*>af Island. Came to anchor 7th August;
Ht slack water, took the anchors again and stood to theNorth ;
made the heads of N.E. harbor, went in and let go the best
bower; before the ship brought up, parted the chain, and lost
48 fathoms and the anchor. Thinking it not prudent to cruise
where we were obliged occasionally to anchor, got under way
and went to the eastward. In a dense fog, while the crew were
aloft reducing sail, came in contact with bark Jeannettc, Winslow, carried away his fly jib-boom,swunground on his starboard
side, taking his starboardbow boat we suppose, from thecracking noise heard ; lost fly-jib and rent the foresail.''
£T Snip Onward left Sandwich Islands March 28th, had a
pleasant passage up to the Kurile Islands, passed through the
48 passage on the 26th of April ; saw the first ice on the 27th,
In lat. 61° N., long. 160° E., where we entered the ice and

Theweather in the Bays has been unusually rugged this year,worse than I ever experienced it before, thick fog andrain with
frequent N. K. gales and very few whalesand those very wild.
The ships as a generalthing have done very poorly, owing to
theunusual amount of bad weather, which also has caused the
loss of a greatnumberof anchors and chains,and other damages,
such as ships coming in collision, etc., etc. Therehas also been
some loss of life—the Levi Btarbuck lost third officer and a
whole boat's crew, while laying by a whale In a N. K. gale In
South West Bay. We lea Rhantar Bay on the 16th of Sept.,
