A few months since thfrstartling announcemade, that an extensive importa- ment was tion into Peru of Polynesians as laborers, was in active operation. Some reported that those engaged in the business were conducting it in a favorable manner, and took none but with the consent of the laborers, but other reports made known a different state of affairs. It was exceedingly difficult to obtain correct information upon the subject. By a late vessel from California, there came to Honolulu a Peruvian Consul-General for Polynesia, His Ex. Manuel Jose Palacios, accompanied by his Secretary, Mr. Miller, (a nephew of General Milter, late British Consul at Honolulu.) These gentlemen are commissioned by the Government of Peru, to collect information respecting Polynesia in general, but particularly relating to the transportation of the natives of Polynesia to Peru. From Mr. Miller, we have learned some facts relating to this important subject, which we are confident will be interesting to our readers. The following is a list of vessels which have been engaged in the trade : Basis—Adelanle, Jeiieral Prim, Carolina. Jose Castro, Rosa j Carmen, Boss Patricia, Serpiente Marina, Teresa, Kmpreta, Hoooria, Carolina Paut.

It is estimated than more than 2,000 kanakas, or Polynesians, have been transported. Some estimate as high as 4,000. The first vessel engaged in the business was the Adelante, which took away 200. She was followed by the Jeneral Prim and Jorje Zahra, which took away about 280. These three vessels belonged to the firm of Ugarte & Santiago. It is said that no violence was used in obtaining these cargoes. They were obtained at Penrhyn, Rieson, and Raster Islands. The Rose y Carmen, Carolina, Jose Castro, Cora, Dolores, Guillermo, and Rosa Patricia visited the Easter Islands. According to the statements of the seamen of the Cora, the Captains not being able to obtain natives by fair means, landed 80 armed men under command of the Captain of the. Spanish bark Rosa y Carmen. They attacked the natives, and killed, at the first volley, seven of the islanders, when they seized and took to Callao two hundred. The bark Empresa visited the Marquesas Islands. The Captain and supercargo invited a chief and his family on board to dinner, when the surgeon of the vessel drugged some wine with opium. This having been drank by the natives put them to sleep, when they were secured and taken to Huacho, where they were sold. The Sandwich Island missionaries on the Marquesas Islands have written to Honolulu upon this subject, and their testimony has been procured by the Peruvian Commissioner. Our missionaries state that a vessel came to the island of Fatuhiva, but they could not obtain the name. It was the Empresa. We would add that the Peruvian Government has issued an order to arrest the master, supercargo and surgeon of the Empresa, and the natives of Marquesas have been returned. The schooners Apurimac and Mattuelita Cartas were wrecked at Humphrey's Island, but their crews were saved.

The French Protectorate Government of Tahiti, tins seized the Serpiente Marina, Mercedes A dc Wholey, Misti, Cora, Guayas, and Barbara Gomez, but the two latter were permitted to continue their voyage, but the others were condemned. Captain Umba« and Mr. Biron Lee Knapp, of the Mercedes, have been condemned to 10 years imprisonment. The Cora, Misti and Mercedes have been sold by the French authorities. So far as answering the object of furnishing laborers for Peru, the whole enterprise is a perfect failure. Many have died, and those who survive are useless. The Peruvian Government has prohibited the further importation of kanakas. The Government has already sent back some of the poor people to their homes, and it is reported that others arc also to be sent. Respecting the manner this scandalous business has been carried on.the following statement of A. Unshelm, Esq., Hamburg Consul at Apia, Samoan Islands, will throw some light. It is copied from a communication addressed to the Editor, and published in the September issue of the Friend: regret to learn that several vessels " We the Peruvian flag, had been for some bearing weeks cruising amongst the Samoa and neighboring islands, kidnapping natives. In some instances force had been employed to capture the unsuspecting islanders. On some of the smaller islands, out of populations numbering several hundreds, not more than 15 or 20 people have been left, including the native missionary teachers. One vessel on board of which dysentery had appeared amongst the unfortunate natives, had run down to Sunday Island, in the neighborhood of New Zealand, where having landed the sick, the disease spread so virulently that the white settlers were nearly all carried off. The few who survived have since removed to this port. The dead and dying natives were left abandoned on the sands of the beach, and the vessel started to kidnap another cargo. �I H X 82 Revolution in ASSASSINATION Madagascar.* OF KINO RADAMA 11. We give place to the following important letter from Rev. William Ellis, long a devoted and able missionary of the London Missionary Society to Madagascar, addressed to the Rev. Dr. Tidman, secretary of that society. It can hardly fail to be read with interest as a remarkable chapter in the history of that country: Madagascar, i " Atananamvo, May 16th, 1863. "My Dear Friend:—Seldom has the instability of human affairs been more strikingly, and in some respects, tragically manifested, than in the events of the last few days in this city. Within that period the reign of Radama 11. has closed with his life ; a successor has been chosen by the nobles and accepted by the people; a new form of government has been inaugurated, and it is arranged that the legislative and , . administrative functions of the sovereignty shall hereafter be discharged by the sovereign, the nobles, and the heads of the people jointly. A series of resolutions embodying what may be regarded as the germs of constitutional government has been prepared and presented by the nobles and heads of the people to the Queen, containing the conditions on which they offered her the crown. The acceptance of these conditions by Rabodo, and their due observance by the nobles and heads of the people, were attested by the signatures of tbe Queen and the chief of the nobles, before the former was announced to the people as their future sovereign, and proclaimed under tde title of Rasoaherena, Queen of Madagascar. The death of Radama, the offer and acceptance of the crown, aud the proclamation of the present ruler as Queen, all occurred on Tuesday, the 12th instant. " Amiable and enlightened as in several respects Radama certainly was, his views of the duties of the ruler were exceedingly defective, and almost all government for the good of the country may be said to have been in abeyance ever since his accession. The destruction of a large part of the revenue of government by the abolition of all duties—the exclusion from his councils of many of the nobles and most experienced men in the nation, while he surrounded himself with a number of young, inexperienced, and many of them most objectionable men as his confidential advisers—the relaxation or discontinuance ofall efforts to repress crime, or punish it when committed—and the neglect of all measures for placing the prosperity of the country on any solid basis—have, notwithstanding the affection many of the people bore him, produced growing dissatisfaction. Still, confiding in his good nature, all were willing to wait in hope of a change for the better; while the Christians, grateful for the liberty they enjoyed to worship, teach and extend their knowledge of Christianity, directed their chief attention to the enlightenment of the masses of their heathen countrymen. sal £.?*" that the Island of Madagascar.

NOHIBKK, I S " Within the last two or three months extraordinary efforts have been made to bring the King's mind under the influence of the old superstitions of the country, and these succeeded to an extent which has resulted in his ruin. Within this period a sort of mental epidemic has appeared in the adjacent provinces and in the capital. The subjects of this disease pretended to be unconscious of their actions, and to be unable to refrain from leaping, running, dancing, tec. These persons also saw visions, and heard voices from the invisible world. One of these visions, seen by many, was the ancestors of the King, and the voices they heard announced the coming of these ancestors to tell the King what he was to do for the good of the country. Subsequently a message was brought to him as from his ancestors to the effect that, if he did not stop 'the praying,' some great calamity woold soon befall him. To the surprise of his best friends, the King was exceedingly interested in this strange movement, seemed to believe the pretended message from the world of spiriis, and encouraged the frantic dancers, who daily thronged his house and declared that the disease would continue to increase till 'the praying' was stopped. It is generally reported that these movements were prompted by the guardians of the idols, and promoted by his own Mena maso,* who bribed parties to come as sick persons in large numbers from the country, in order to continue the delusion. "It was then proposed to assassinate a numberof Christians, as a means ol stopping the progress of Christianity, and also to kill the chief nobles who opposed the King's proceedings. With a view of increasing the influence of this fanatical party, the King issued an order that all persons meeting any of the so-called sick should take off their hats, and* thus show them the same mark of respect as was formerly given to the national idols when they were carried through the city. With the view also of shielding the perpetrators of the intended raurdeis, the King announced his intention to issue an order or law, that any person or persons wishing to fight with firearms, swords, or spears, should not be prevented, and that if any one was killed the murderer should not be punished. This alarmed the whole community. On the 7th instant Radama repeated before his ministers and others in the palace, his determination to issue that order, and among all the Mena maso present only three opposed the issuing of the order; many were silent, the rest expressed their approval. The nobles and heads of the people spent the day in deliberating on the course they should pursue, and the next morning the prime minister, with about one hundred of the nobles and heads of the people, including the commander-in-chief, the king's treasurer, and the first officer of the palace, went to the King, and remonstrated against his legalizing murder, and besought him most earnestly not to issue such order. It is said that the prime minister went on his knees before him, and begged him not to Mena maso. literally,red eye*. These are not the a*, knowledged ministers of the King, but a sort of Inquisitors, supposed to investigateand search out everything tending to the injury of thegovernment, and to give private and confidential Intimation to the King of all occurrences, as well as advice on all affairs aad tbalr ma ar* supposed to be red arltb the strain or cnatinuaace *f dlatcult invaatlgatl*** * i « 3 . issue this obnoxious law ; but he remained unmoved. The minister then rose and said to the King: 'Do you say before all these witnesses that if any man is going to fight another with firearms, swords or spears, that you will not prevent him, and that if he kills any one he shall not be punished ?" The King replied : ' I agree to that.' Then said the minister It is enough ; we must arm;' and turning to his followers said : ' Let us return.' I saw the long procession as they passed my house, grave and silent, on their way to the minister's dwelling. The day was spent in deliberation, and they determined to oppose the King. " Toward the evening I was most providentially preserved from assassination at the King's house, five of his confidential advisors —that is, the Mena maso—having, as I have since been well informed, combined to take my life, as one of the means of arresting the progress of Christianity. Under God, I owe my preservation to the warning of my friends and the provision made by the prime minister for my safety. I went to the King an hour earlier than usual, and returned immediately, to prepare for removal to a place of greater safety near my own house. Messengers from the minister were waiting my return, and before dusk I removed to the house of Dr. Davidson, which stands on the edge of Andohalo, the large space where public assemblies are often held. The city was in great commotion ; all night women and chil- : ' dren and slaves, with portable valuables, were hurrying from the city, while crowds of armed men from the suburbs were crowding into it. At daybreak on the ninth some two thousand or more troops occupied Andohalo. The ground arouss. the prime minister's house, on the summit of the Northern crest of the mountain close by, was filled with soldiers, while every avenue to the city was securely kept by the minister's troops. The first object of the nobles was to secure upward of thirty of the more obnoxious of the Mena maso, whom they accused of being the advisors and abettors of the King in his unjust and injurious measures. A number of these were taken and killed, a number fled, but twelve or thirteen remained with the King These the nobles required should be surrendered to them. The King refused, but they threatened to take them by force from the palace, to which he had removed. Troops continued to pour in from adjacent and distant posts, and, as the few soldiers of the King refused to fire on those surrounding the palace, the people, though pitying the King, did not take up arms in his defense. He consented at length to surrender the Mena maso, on condition that their lives should be spared, and that they should be confined for life in fetters. On Monday, the 11th, they were marched by Andohalo, on their way to the spot where the irons were to be fixed upon their limbs. In the course of the discussion with the nobles, the King had said that he alone was sovereign, his word alone was law, bis person was sacred, he was supernaturally protected, and would punish severely the opposere of his wilL This led the nobles to determine that it was not safe for him to live, " and he died by their hands the next morning, within the palace. The Queen, who alone was with him, used every effort, to the last �83 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1563. moment of his life, to save him, but in vain. His advisors, the Mena maso, were afterwards put to death. "In the course of the forenoon four of the chief nobles went to the Queen, with a written paper, which they handed to her as expressing the terms or conditions on which, for the future, the country should be governed. They requested her to read it, stating that if she consented to govern according to these conditions, they were willing that she should be the sovereign of the country, but thßt if she objected or declined, they must seek another ruler. The Queen, after reading the document, and listening to it, and receiving explanations on one or two points, expressed her full and entire consent to govern according to the plan therein set forth. The nobles then said: 'We also bind ourselves by this agreement. If we break it, we shall be guilty of treason, and if you break it, we shall do as -we have now done.' The prime minister then signed the document on behalf of the nobles and heads of the people, and the-Queen signed it also. three and four o'clock a party " Between came with a copy of this docuof officers ment, which they read to us. I can only state two or three of its chief items " The word of the sovereign alone is not to be law, but the nobles and heads of the people, with the sovereign, are to make the : laws. liberty and protection are guar" Perfect to all foreigners who are obedient to anteed the laws of the country. relations are to be maintained " Friendly with all other nations.

" Domestic slavery is not abolished ; but masters are at liberty to give freedom to their slaves, or to self them to others. "No person is to be put to death for any offense by the word of the sovereign alone ; and no one is to be sentenced to death till twelve men have declared such person to be guilty of the crime to which the law awards the punishment of death. " An hour afterwards we were sent for to the palace that we might tender our salutations to the new sovereign, who assured us of her friendship for the English, her goodwill to ourselves, and her desire to encourage our work. I can not add more now. We Yours truly, are all well. W. Ellis. P. S. June 17.—Everything is going on well.

American National Thanks giving. We are glad to give the following telrgraphio announcement from Washington: WasmsCTos, Oct. 3 —The President has issued a proclama- tion, Inviting his fellowcltliens In every part of the United States, and also thosewho are at sea. and those sojourning la foreign lands, to ac: apart and observe the last Thursdsj of November as aday of thanksgiving and prayer. We doubt i.ot all Americans residing upon the Sandwich Islands, will most cordially respond in this invitation of President Lincoln. The day will correspond with that when the Governors of the separate States have in former jears invited their fellow citizens to observe a day of Thanksgiving. The appoiutmrnta of the separate States will undoubtedly make their appointments to correspond with this of our respected aud beloved President. Never bad the loyal cititeus of that great Republic more occasion for thanksgiving than upon the present occasion. The "Sacramento Union."—This is decidedly a good paper. There is none published this side of the Rocky mountains, conducted with more ability. If any of our island readers desire to subscribe for a good news paper, we can most confidently recommend the Sacramento Weekly Union. We would gratefully acknowledge books and papers, for gratuitous distribution among seamen, from Mrs. Dr. J. M. Smith, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Thrum, Mrs. Henry A. P. Carter, and Mr. W. N. Ladd. These favors were very acceptable and similar will still be appreciated. Illustrated papers are particularly prized by seamen about to leave port for their long cruises. We hope many of our sea-faring readers will improve the opportunity to subscribe for the Friend, and send it to their friends. $2 50 per annum, including postage, 48 cents, which must be prepaid. Subscribers in the United States can make remittances for the amount of their subscriptions in postage stamps. Slave Prospects.—The value of human chattels, in the money market of the South, is getting very low. Some slave owners in Virginia have actually dismissed their slaves, and sent them off to the District of Columbia, to get rid of their support. They are now rapidly enlisting to recruit the Federal Army. The "Pacific."—This is an excellent weekly religious paper, published in San Francisco. This paper and the Sacramento Union contain pretty much all the secular and religious intelligence worthy of publication in this part of the world. New Books.—Those fond of reading will find a rare and excellent supply of books at Whitney's bookstore. See advertisement. He has a large collection of juvenile books, which will answer well for Christmas und New Year's present*. �THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1863. Very Latest American News. Expected Battle at Chattanooga.

Com. Mr. — LCapt. �86 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1863. in which 1 soon became interested. When we had looked at the chart I remarked that I had met with an old friend whom 1 did not expect to find on board the England, and held up ' The Loss of the Winterton, East Indiaman,' by the late Mr. Buchan, of Kelloe, observing that I knew the author, from whom I had many years ago received a copy ofhis book. Dundas replied that Mr. Buchan " Captain was related to his mother, and that the Captain of tbe Winterton was his grandfather. I then recollected that Dundas was the name of tbe captain who had perished in the wreck. After remarking that we were not far from the place where the wreck occurred, Captain Dundas went on deck. In a few moments I heard the cry' A wreck ! a wreck!' and, hastening to the poop, saw on the larboard bow a small flag or signal of blue cloth, distinct among the tops of the waves, and and about two miles off. In a few minutes more I discerned a sort of raft, with two figures, a white man and a man of color, sitting upon it, up to the waist in the sea. " The flag of England had been hoisted-i--symbol ofhelp and deliverance—to signal to the castaways that they were seen, and the ship's course was altered. Meanwhile, one of the boats was lowered, and, manned by five stout, willing hands, was pushed off toward the raft. While the oars rattled with each stroke, and the light boat seemed to spring over the waves, with our tall, stout second officer, Mr. Peters, standing with the steer-oar in the stem, every eye on board was stretched toward the same point; the sailors leaning over from the forecastle and forerigging; the officers and passengers straining over the bulwarks of the poop; ladies with their children, al! gazing with the most intense interest as our boat approached the raft. No one moved; not a word was uttered; even breathing seemed difficult; but when the first man, and then the second—stiff, benumbed and swollen with the water—had been safely lifted into the boat, the pent up feeling found utterance in the almost simultaneous exclamation, ' They are saved!' which was heard from item to stern along the side of our ship. Some persons near me wept, others seemed reads/ to faint under emotions of sympathy and .joy. " Our boat was soon alongside, and, swollen, bruised and bleeding, the men were helped over the ship's side into the cabin. Not wishing to add to the pressing crowd, I remained on deck. A few moments afterward I heard the captain call, Mr. Ellis ! here js a Sandwich Islander. ' Come and speak to him." I went into the cabin, where the two men were sitting on the deck. The white man was the captain of a ship which had been upset in the violent gale two days before, when every one on board, twenty-two in number, except the two just rescued, had perished. The islander, a young rastn, was one of the crew; and, having made no answer to the questions addressed to him by our humane captain, I had been called down. "The man was sitting on the deck, his head bent down, and his long, black, and dripping hair hanging over his eves and down hi* fact. Looking at him," I said, ' Aroha, ehoaino, aroha :' Salutation, dear friend—affection. The man lifted up his head, swept with bis hand his long, black hair to one side of his forehead, and, looking earnestly at me like one to whom conciousness was but just returning, and startled by the sound of his native language, returned my salutation. In answer to a few inquiries he told me he was a native of Oahu, the Island on which I had at one timeresided. He said he was up aloft furling sail, when the ship suddenly went over, and all, in an instant, were plunged into the deep; that there were other islanders on board, but they soon sunk. The doctor of our ship then gave the men a little suitable refreshment, and they were wrapped in flannels and put to bed. Captain Dundas took the raft, a very fragile affair, and brought it to England, intending to deposit it in the Crystal Palace. day I went down to the berth " Thethenext where Sandwich Islander was lying, and found him very much revived. After conversing with him about the wreck and the loss of all his shipmates, 1 said, ' God has very mercifully preserved you. You must remember his goodness, and pray to him.' He said, ' I did pray to him in the night, when I was in the sea. I did pray to God in the morning, when I saw the captain ; 1 prayed that we might be saved. And God sent away death, and sent your ship, and we are here.' I said, 'I am glad you prayed to God. You must be thankful to God, and serve him, and love him. You must try to praise God in your future life.' repeated the first two lines of a " I then which I had written, among the first hymn ever composed in the language of the Sandwich Islands, when I was a missionary in that country. The lines are these :—[We publish the hymn in full.] Ke Akua maikai. 1 HE Akua bemolele, Ke Akua no kakou , Maikai wale, hewa ole, Pono loa, ola mau. 2 Nani wale ko lehova, Luli ole ka maikai, Ahonui wale kela, I ka hana pono mai. • 3 Oia no ka Haku mana, 0 na mea ilalo nei; Nana kakou nei i hana, 9 Aole na ka lima c. 4 Pono hoi c pule aku, 1 ke ola no ke ao; /ola kanaka ia iala, I ola nui no kakou. A God of perfection or goodness is our God.' The man's countenance brightened as I repeated these lines, and as soon as I had ceased he took up the strain where I had left off, repeating the two concluding lines antjf the remaining verses with evident satis1 ham, Mr. Thurston and others.' He seemed surprised and pleased; said he knew the missionaries who were now at the Islands ; that his brother was a native teacher in the Sandwich Islands, and his sister a Christian. been my privilege to labor in har" It hadco-operation with the able and demonious voted American missionaries first sent to the Sandwich Islands. Having a knowledge of the language at Tahiti, which varies but slightly from that of Hawaii, I had assisted in forming the Hawaiian alphabet, and fixing the orthography of the native language, as well as in other departments of missionary labor. More than thirty years had passed away since I had left those islands, and it was an unexpected satisfaction to my own mind to find that the Christian sentiments embodied in a simple hymn, which had been prepared chiefly with a view to implanting seeds of truth in the minds of the young, had afforded consolation and support to the mind of a native of those islands in the lonely solitude of a distant ocean, amid the perils of shipwreck, and the prospect of death ; and I mention this circumstance for the encouragement of other laborers in the cause of humanity and religion, that they may cast their bread upon the waters and labor on, in the assurance that no sincere effort will be altogether in vain, though its results should never be known. " The ship from which these two men were saved was the Henry Crappo, from Dartmouth, Mass., a whaler, full, and homeward bound. Many particulars of their peril were afterward related to us by the captain. While drifting on their raft they had been pursued by two sharks. One attempted to seize them; but by drawing up their legs from the water as well as they were able, and chopping at their assailant with a small hatchet found in the fragment of the boat of which their raft was constructed, they succeeded in driving him away. They had been two days and two nights in the sea, and the onlyrefreshment they had had was a small lime or lemon which the captain found in his pocket, and, cutting it in half, divided with his companion, and a piece of pumpkin from their own ship, which floated past on the following day. " Soon after this incident we reached the Cape of Good Hope, where our rescued mariners left us to proceed to America. Sailing from this port we touched at St. Helena and the Island of Ascension, and by the care of a watchful and gracious Providence reached England in safety on the 20th of March, " 1857."

Captain lirumnaerlKMp was killed by natives March 30 During the winterlost five seamen Willi scurvy, and three with disease of tnc breast—all natives of the Hawaiian Islands. The brig lea Honolulu on the 2d June, 1882. under command of Capt. L. Brutnmerhoop, bound on a whaling and trailing expedition, and well provided with every necessity for wintering North. On the 23d ot September shipped our catch, consisting of about 100 brls and some trade, by brig Victoria, to Honolulu fr mi St. Lawrence Bay, which place we had selected for our wintering station; we also sent down by the Victoria 9 Hawaiian seamen and one boat-steerer, who had only shipped lor the summer season, leaving our crew to the number of 20 in all, officers and men. From the Ist to the 16thNovember, 1882, saw plenty of whales but could not get near them, on account of heavy gales and purrsge ice, and on the '24thNovemlier, with a strong N.W. gale, the vessel froae in solid. On November 1,1862, an Ksquiraoux. named Capatclnai, who had stayed already three days o board with us, during a secre gale, became alarmed about bis bouse and family, and ■IsaavJ, to be put on shore, wluch at that time it was iniiMissible for us to comply with without endangering the lives of a whole boat'screw; we told him to wait another day, to which he seemed to resign himself, but while we were at sapper, be juiniwd overboard and tried to gain the shore by swimming, but was carried down by tlie purrage ice. On the6th November, when the gnle was over, the Esquimaux came on bourd, andlaid the blame of the man's drowning to the captain; and not sufficiently speaking their language, we could only with difficulty explain to them how it occurred. We were after wards often warned by some of the Esquimaux that the friends of thedrowned man intended to take the Captain's lile, or even the vesaei,and we were much on our guard in the beginning| after some time all seemed, however, to be forgotten, and we traded with them on the most friendly terms. On the 30th of March, 1883, the Captain was invited by the chief, who furnished the vessel with doer, to come to his place and select what he wanted, as he hail often done. The captain, unsuspecting of treachery,went, coming near the chief's house, he was shot by an arrow, and afterwardskilled by spears; the captain bred his revolver twice, but it seems ineffectually. The report drew our attention to that side, and though this occurred at adistance of five miles from the vessel, we could see by our glaas, the whole country being covered with snow, that an affray was going on; the vessel at that time, however, being crowded with Esquimaux, we could not send any help to the captain, as we did not know whether an attack on the vessel was contemplate! by them. We dispatched some friendly Esquimaux to the place, who reported that they could not find the captain, but Moved that h; had been killed; two days afterwards we recovered his clothes, but could not learn what had become of his body, notwithstanding that we offered every reward to the Esquimaux to recover the same. The three men, llatiau, Kakou and Wapus, blood relations of the drowned man, who, as we learned.had committed tbe murder, had struck down their huts immediately, and wandered off, and we could not lay hold of them. The Esquimaux then assured us that now all was settled according to their custom of man for man, and that they would not molest any one of us, which promise they faithfully kept. The chief sent us also the deer tbe captain had bought, and we received considerable trade from them afterwards. Though well provided with every necessity against scurvy, diwe lost five Hawaiians by this scourge, and three by otherhail seases; thewhole crow, Hawaiian as well aa foreigners, winter, the vegetables preserved and all potatoes fresh meats, and none of the whit* crew died: the trouble with the Hawaiians, however, was that they would not take any exercise, and though often compelled by force, by Captain and officers, to and leave theirberths, they would crouchdown again on deck, by no ingenuity could even be prevailed upon vi stand up. We and hail llicin hired sleighs for them from the Esquimaux, token about on shore, and to the village, where, if not watched, they would lay down again. No care, as well in regard to food as to treatment, was spared; but owing io tho lethargy and unclcanliness of these men we were unable to save LhcinAfter the death of Capt.
