Dr. Bacon to the incident in Obookiah's life, when a friendless and pennyless stranger he was found sitting and weeping upon the steps of Vale College by one of the students. This occurred in 1809, some ten years before the departure of the American missionaries. Obookiah's visit to America formed an important part in awakening an interest among Christians of America, in behalf of the Hawaiian Islands. He died in 1818, and was buried in Cornwall, Ct. During our last visit to the United States in 1870, we met the Rev. Dr. George Allen, a distinguished clergyman of Massachusetts residing in Worcester, and officiating as chaplain of the State Insane Hospital. He is advanced to a good old age, but still retains a most vivid recollection of events occurring a half century ago. We recollect that he had much to say respecting Obookiah, and placed in our hands the following document, which some of our readers may peruse with interest, as it has never before been printed : Worcester, 21st March, 1559. Dear sir :—ln the summer of 1811 I attended the academy in Bradford and was a boarder in the family of Deacon Jno. Haseltine, whose family then consisted of himself, his wife, son, three daughters, Abigail, Mary, Ann, afterwards Mrs. Judson and several boarders, among whom was that very interesting native of Owhyhee, Obookiah. He gave me at different times a particular account of his life, adventures, &c. He gave me a particular account of the death of Captain Cook and the causes which led to it. Said he, " Captain Cook, he came to Owhyhee in a ship and had a great many sailor. One day the sailor tie a boat to the shore with a rope, and in the night the wind and the wave come and broke the rope. Then the sailor came and say Owhyhee steal the boat and they didn't, the wind and the wave carried him away. Then sailor get mad, and Owhyhee men get mad; �THE FRIEND, 18 wouldn't give sailor no hog, no cocoanut, no banana, no wood. Then sailor go ashore and find no wood and so he get an old woodgod, take him on board ship and burn him in caboose. Then king of Owhyhee he mad, and Captain Cook he mad too. Why, said I, did the king get mad ? You see, said he, Owhyhee men take a log and make a great wood-god, look just like a man, and when they have a new king, they kill men and hang them up and kill hogs and hang them up right before the wood-god. But, said I, did they, believe that the wood-god knew anything ? O no, said he, when they get the wood-god all made and put up then the spirit come and live in the wood and when the wood get old they make a new wood-god and the spirit go out of the old wood-god, and come live in the new one. Owhyhee men get mad because the sailor burn up the old wood-god," (deeming it I suppose a sort of sacrilege. The burning of this old deity occasioned the conflict between the natives and the sailors, which took place during the absence of Captain Cook). Then said Obookiah, the sailor began to fire bullets on Owhyhee men and Owhyhee men hold up blankets to keep off the bullets and then boards, but they did no good. Then Captain Cook heard the noise and come running down to see what was the matter. Then one man say you kill Captain Cook, but he 'fraid, then a man say I will, and he came behind him and kill with a spear. Well, said I, what did they do with Captain Cook ? They cut him in pieces and carried him up into the mountains and burnt him. Why, said I, did they burn him ? O, said he, they 'fraid his soul live, and go back to King George and tell King George how Owhyhee men kill Captain Cook and then King George send men and kill Owhyhee men and so they burnt up soul and body together. How, said I, did you know all these things ? O, my grandfather tell my father and my father tell me." I have thus very hastily given you a very brief outline of a part of many interesting conversations, which I had at various times with this very interesting young man. He was a great favorite with all the family. He had so much frankness, honesty and simplicity that no one could be offended with him. lam constrained to say that 1 was one of those persons, whom he mentions in his life as " unserious." With one or two exceptions the students were not professors of religion. He afterwards as you well know became a very devout Christian, as did Thomas Hopoo, who came to America in the same ship with him.

Our brother and sister began very early to give attention to the language, but they had been only a few weeks on shore when Mrs. Taylor was taken sick of typhoid fever, and after an illness of some -sixteen days fell asleep in Jesus on the evening of Sept. 26th. 1874. Early in her sickness she expressed the feeling that the Lord was about to call for her. She was, however, very willing to leave the issue with her Heavenly Father. During her last days her reason was much clouded, her fever being attended by nearly all of the most aggravated symptoms of typhoid. We are in deep sorrow. We have been nreatly bereaved. With our poor vision we may not be able to see the reason, but we doubt not there was a needs-be which our Heavenly Father will make plain some day. Oct. 2Sth. You may perhaps remember that the Morning Star took to you last spring a report of very general drunkenness on this island. The King had just began to attempt its suppression when the Morning Star sailed. In this he has been very successful, and drunkenness for the present at least has been driven from the island. Continued peace also prevails and the people are beginning, some of them at least, to give attention to spiritual things. Four young men and two young women were received to our church on confession of their faith in Christ, on the first Sabbath of this month. During the present month thirty-four persons have publicly declared their wish in our church prayer-meetings to become Christians, and are numbered among our Inquirers— more than ninety of whom have expressed such a wish since the beginning of the year. Our training school is flourishing. On Monday last the first village school in Kanawa, taught by Gilbert Island teachers, was opened. They receive their support from the people. This item ought to rejoice the hearts of the members of the Hawaiian Board. C7" We copy the following letter from the Boston Daily Advertiser of December 24th, and we have no doubt the " initials " indicate the letter to have been written by Captain Brewer, so well known in our island community: "WHALE STORIES"—FIRST DISCOVERIES IN THE OCHOTSK SEA. 1 notice in your paper of the 17th instant an article under the head of " Whale Stories," which reminds me of some incidents relating to the whale fisheries which occurred during some of my own cruises in the Pacific Ocean. In the month of May, 1833, I left the Sandwich Islands as master of the American schooner Unity, of 60 tons, bound to the port of Ochotsk in Siberia, and thence to the port of Petropaulowski in Kamschatka, on a trading voyage. When in the neighborhood of the Kurile Islands (which were then in sight), a large whale was noticed coming slowly toward us on our starboard quarter, and thinking that when he came near enough to see the vessel he would sheer off, I therefore did not feel alarmed.

Sabbath evening, Feb. 7th, the Rev. E. T. Doane addressed an audience gathered in Fort Street Church, on the subject of Missions in Micronesia, where he has spent the past twenty years of his life. Although familiar with the history of that Mission from its origin in 1852 down to the present time, yet the speaker, fresh from the scene of his labors, presented the subject in a style so attractive and charming that it awakened in our own mind and also in the minds of many others, feelings akin to those produced when long years ago in our Father-land we listened to veteran Missionaries on their return from India, China, and Africa. We are glad that Mission labor has not lost its poetic charm and idealistic beauty. Why should it? The Gospel message is one of good news, and Isaiah sings, " How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings that publisheth salvation." Mr. Doane has been a hard-working and devoted Missionary among the Marshall Islanders and the inhabitants of Ponape— having learned two dialects of a difficult language, but he has a most happy faculty of looking on the bright side of a dark picture. The dark cloud resting on the once heathen islands and atolls of the Pacific has to his eye a silver lining, or rather it is tinged with a golden edging. It was pleasant and home-like to listen to the story of landing three Missionaries and their wives, with a bouncing baby, on the wild shores of the Mortlock group. What is more inspiring than the story of the converted natives on Muggins, so intent upon their worship of God upon the Sabbath morning, and such Puritans, in the way of Sabbath keeping, that they would take no notice of a signal hoisted on ship-board for a pilot, no, not if run up and down until the halliards were worn out! Then to, the conversion of the inhabitants on Pingalap, where Captain Hayes caused the King to sign a treaty that no white man, no black man, no red man, no mulatto, should land for ten years, and to keep away all Missionaries; yet some natives from that island returned to their home from Ponape and told the story of Jesus and the cross! We think it was on this same Pingalap that the speaker landed and officiated at the marriage ceremony of forty couples ! The Millennium is dawning! Most skillfully the speaker interwove facts, figures and poetry, telling us that five hundred hymns had been composed in the MARCH, 187 5. various dialects of Micronesia, besides parts of the Bible and school books, amounting to two million of pages. As the happy results of Mission labor, more than a thousand converts had been enrolled and gathered into Christian Churches. The beautiful Island of Ponape is now encircled with a necklace of eight churches, embracing five hundred members, linked in holy fellowship and Christian brotherhood. Not the least pleasant feature of the address was the cordial commendation of the labors of his associates, American, Hawaiian and Micronesian, while he did not make himself more prominent than the humblest laborer in the field. It was our privilege some fourteen years ago to visit that Mission field, and on the Island of Ebon to receive a most cordial greeting from Mr. Doane. The scenes then and there witnessed are among memory's valued treasures. We spent a Sabbath upon the island and witnessed his zeal in the Mission work. We are now glad to return to him as cordial welcome as he then gave us, and to see that he is still animated with the same youthful ardor, buoyant, hopeful and trustful as ever—traits which enable him to make playwork and cheerful labor of duties which to some minds would be the veriest drudgery and most irksome toil. He can "stoop to conquer," and right manfully he has conquered amid difficulties which would have appalled a less hopeful spirit—conquered in the name of Him who came to our world " conquering and to conquer." A Singular Musical Enigma.—The Rev. Mr. Doane states that the natives on the high volcanic islands of Micronesia, Kusaie and Ponape, are most excellent singers, while those living on the low coral islands are almost entirely destitute of musical talent. He does not venture to state anything as the satisfactory explanation of this singu- lar phenomenon. — Dr. Harkness of Sacramento. This gentleman arrived by the last steamer from California. He not only has a standing in his medical profession, but is also known as a man of science in the use of the microscope. He is among the " old '49 inhabitants of California, and has traveled extensively in Europe. It was our privilege to meet him at Cairo in Egypt, and he was one of " our party" on an excursion to the pyramids. He has left for a trip on Hawaii and to the volcano. During his foreign travels he has been intimately associated with Mr. Stanley, the discoverer of Livingstone, and relates many interesting anecdotes of that remarka- " ble man. George III, Washington, Franklin. . The London Spectator, in reviewing Bancroft's Tenth Volume, more than intimates that the historian has made a failure in giving such prominence to the events of the revolutionary war following the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The writer however concludes with the following significant paragraph " Although the war of American Independence will always form an epoch in history —on the one hand, as representing the birththroes of a great nation ; on the other, as having been, as it were, the artillery duel which preceded the Armageddon battle of the French Revolution—it is probable that in course of time its details will justly fade away from the world's memory, and that little will remain of it but three figures : in the foreground the tragic one of the half-crazy king, resolved only that America should not be independent; and the heroic one of the stout-hearted Virginian country gentleman, the impersonation of massive English common-sense, resolved more sternly still that she should be ; and a little in the rear that of the shrewd New Englander who in his : brown coat fascinated the most brilliant court in Europe and showed himself more than a match for the diplomatists of three , kingdoms." Rev. Dr. Gulick.—Mr. Doane, in some remarks upon Micronesia at a meeting of the " Cousins' " Missionary Society, Saturday evening, Feb. 27th, complimented Dr. Gulick very highly, in view of his labors as a geographer and man of science. No modern explorer of Polynesia is more frequently quoted than Dr. Gulick. In Findley's Directory of the Pacific and Rosser's North Pacific Pilot, Dr. Gulick is quoted alongside Anson, Cook, Vancouver, La Perouse, Belcher, Wilkes, Perry. Just now our American missionaries in Micronesia are doing more in the way of exploration than both the English or American navies. Naval officers must look out for their laurels as explorers and geographers! Philip Phillips.-This world renowned singer of sacred lODfi arrived by the Cyphrenes on Weddesday Irom San Francisco, en route lor the Colonies of Australia. He gnve one concert the same evening at the Fort street Church. The unusual hour at which the concert commenced—6 o'clock —together with the short notice given, prevented a luller attendance; aa it was, the house was comfortably full. Everybody was delighted with the singing, which though intutistic and simple, was peculiarly sweet, and to the religiously inclined, elevating and enlivening. The receipts of the conceit, less expenses, were $197, which sum was divided between Mr. (Phillips and the Honolulu Sailor's Home Society. We learn that Mr. P. donated his share of the proceeds to a destitute church in New York. He sailed the same evening for Australia, where we .expect to hear that his concerts of sacred song have met with the same popular approval us in England and America.—P. C.

For the following interesting account of the last voyage of Ihe missionary packet among the islands of Micronesia,—from which she arrived at this port •on Wednesday last,—we are indebted to Captain Colette : The Star left Honolulu July 11th, 1874, on her fourth voyage to Micronesia; her first point was Ihe Gilbert Islands. Nothing of more than usual occurrence look place on the passage down; winds northeasterly until lat. 0° N., when they came around to E.S.E. July 27th, anchored off the north point of Peru Island-lat. I°22' S., long. 176<ni'E.; remained here but a few hours, getting under way tbe same day towards evening Two of the Saiaoau missionaries boarded us; the missionaries were well; the natives clothed. The John Williams had been here a month previous. Reaching Tapetaue the 28th she came to anchor, when supplies were landed. .Valium was ailing with a swelled leg; Kapu was well and hard at work. Schools were visited and appeared well; the scholars number from 25 to 30, rending well, writing a good hand, and were well advanced iv geography. The good work seems lo be prospering. Left this island the 31st; headed for Nanoti, anchoring here the morning of the next day. J.cleo was well but his wife was sick. Spent u Sabbath here. This is a hard place—the natives ure insolent and had frequently robbed their teacher. His school is small; not much accomplished yet. Landed his supplies and sailed Aug. 3d, bound for Apaniuma, reaching there on Monday the 4th The king came aboard, accompanied by Moaes the native catechist, and was curious to see everything in the ship. Left here the oth. It is ■ liny of small things on this island now, but this large population will yet be a Christian one. Reached Malaria the Oth in the morning. Lono boarded us soon after. As the Star was anchored some ten miles from the station no one visited the station save Ihe boat with supplies. Aug. 7th, sailed from here at 6 A. m. and reached Apaiang, coming to anchor the same day at 1 p. m., t distance of 80 miles Found the Rev. Mr. Bingham and Mrs. Bingham in comfortable health. Landed supplies for Haina at Taraua in a boat, with whioh he returned. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor disembarked. Spent here a Sabbath. The good cause is prospering; the training school is in good condition. The natives have improved much since my last voyage in 1864. In wearing clothing or some covering about the person, there is a marked improvement. The missionary is more honored. Many now stand ready to enter the church. Left here the 12th, bound for Maraki; reached there the 15th in the morning. There being no safe anchorage at this island we had to lay off and on and landed supplies at the station. Found Kanoha and family well, reporting progress in his work. Sailed the same evening for Butaritari and came to anchor off the station the next day at 4 p. m. Kanoha and family were here landed, who had returned with the Star from Apaiang. Landed supplies for Maka and Kanoho. Both families were well. The good work is prospering eohools, though small, are kept up, and the general bearing of king and natives is friendly to the teachers. Left here Aug. 19th for Mili, one of the Marshall Islands. Reached there the 23d in the afternoon. Kahelemauna and wife were well, schools prosperous, and Ihe good work advancing. Landed supplies, weighed anchor and left Aug. 25th for ATno, reaching there the next day. Kaaia and wife are comfortable, and also tbe native catechist. Did not enter the lagoon, but sent in the supplies in a boat, which returned the next day with Kaaia. Arno if a large island, rich in supplies of food, breadfruit,— pandauus, coooanuta, taro, fish and fowls. Left the evening of this day for Majuro, whioh is in plain sight, but owing to calms and strong N.E. currents did not reach there till Aug. 80th. Entered the lagoon and landed supplies; found Kekuewa and wife well and hard at work. This is an island heavily wooded and well supplied with food. The mission is prospering. Left here Sept. 2d and headed for Jaluij, distance some 100 miles. Anchored the 4th. Found Kapali and wife well; landed supplies and the freight for Messrs. A. Capelle & Co. The missionary work ii advancing—a great improvement in the last tea yean. Hooey, real cash, gold and silver, is in full circulation, and the value of which the natives well 1875. understand. This is so because of Ihe cash system of A. Capelle & Co. This firm cannot be too highly spoken of in regard to its character and honorable way of doing business. Sails*! from Jaluij Sept. 9th, reaching Ebon the next morning. Rev. Mr. Snow boarded us nnd reported all well ashore. Sent in supplies for Messrs. Snow nnd Whitney. Passengers went on shore; a strong current was here setting to the north. Next day the vessel was out of sight of land, and was not able to return till the fourth Finished landing supplies, and at I r. M. passengers came on board and we put away for Strong's Island, tbe Rev. Mr. Snow accompanying us. Reached this island the 19th; landed Mr. Snow and what supplies he had and put away for Ponape. The next day sighted Pingalap; s*j)t in boat to land mail and see if Rev. Mr. Sturges was on the island. At noon tbe boat returned and we beaded for Mokil, reaching here the next morning. Sent in a boat with mail; at noon boat returned with the king and three men as passengers for Ponape. Filling away the Star reached this island the 23d; anchored at Ova. Here the Rev. Mr. Sturges greeted his wife after an absence of three years. Mr. and Mrs. Rand disembarked here. The'next day Rev. Mr. Doane came up from his station, and the Rev. Mr. Logan, wife and ohild returned with him by boat. Supplies for those at Ova were landed, and Sept. 28th the Star sailed through the lagoon to the Kenan station. Here the supplies of Rev. Mr. Logan were landed, and the Star after recruiting sailed Oct. 2d for the Mortlock Islands. The Rev. Mr. Sturges and wife accompanied us, and a delegate from the church, with some natives from Ova as passengers. Reached the Mortlocks on the Bth, and came to anchor in the lagoon. Found the Ponape teachers all well, and the work prospering beyond expectation. Left on the 12th at 9a. m. and reached Ponape on the 18th. Getting supplies and taking on board Mr. Doane as passenger for Honolulu, sailed Nov. 4th. The school at Kenan visited the Star; trimmed her cabin with flowersand wreaths, under the direction of Mrs. Rand, ond in the afternoon the children came off with banners and flags flying. On board there was singing, greetings to the new comers, nnd a farewell to the old teacher. We reached Mokil the Bth; landed the king and passengers from Ponape; took aboard the contributions of oil; and leaving here the 9th, reached Pingalap the 11th. Took aboard the contributions, nnd left the same day for Strong's Island, which we reached the 13th. Found Mr. Snow well and taking him aboard the next day, left for Ebon, reaching there the 20th. Taking Mr. and Mrs. Snow as passengers for Jaluij sailed the same day, and reached en route Namerik the 22d; Rev. Mr. Snow accomplishing some missionary work, she sailed for Jaluij the 24th and reached there the 27th. Here we took on board freight for Messrs. A. Capelle & Co. for Honolulu. Leaving here Dec. Oth the Star again returned to Ebon, reaching the 10th; landed Mrs. Snow, and took Mr. Snowas passenger for Mili; arrived here the 15th, without entering the lagoon, landed Mr. Snow and squared away for Apaiang, which place we reached the 21st. Here we learned the sad news of Mra. Taylor's death. Left here for Butaritari, reaching there the 30th. Finishing up business we sailed for Honolulu Jan. 4th, 1876. On passing through the trade wind latitudes had winds light and variable. In lat. 27" N, long. 177° E., we encountered a severe gale, blowing from S. W.; had to lay to, under storm sails eight hours. Tbe storm abating squared away to tbe north. From that date to long. 160° W.. had southerly and southweal winds with more or less of ugly squally weather and high seas from the N.W. On Jan. 23d, in long. 176° 60' W., lat. 30° 45" N., buried Kahananui, a seaman of the Star belonging to Kohala, Hawaii; died of dysentery. During the rest of the passage had light variable winds. Arrived at Honolulu on Wednesday morning, February 3d. C. W. Oelette, Master. Bayard Taylor's Letters from Egypt. These letters, originally published in the New York Tribune, and which appeared again in the Tribune Extra (No. 22), are now republished in book-form, together with those written from Iceland. They are well written and contain much useful information, but most signally omit one feature that we should have supposed a man of broad Christian sympathies and patriotic sentiments would have noticed. We refer to the American mission under the auspices of the " United Presbyteiians." He is equally silent respecting the valuable labors of Miss Whately, an English lady, (daughter of Archbishop Whately) who went to Cairo some years ago for her health, but who is now at the head of female education in that city, managing a school of 3 or 400 pupils. It was our privilege to visit her school. The American mission was commenced in 1855 at Alexandria, but now is extending to upper Egypt, having a large working force in Cairo. When we visited Egypt in December, 1869, there was a large school and weekly preaching in Arabic and English. As an evidence that this mission is fully recognized by the Khedive's Government, we would remark that five years ago the mission premises in Cairo were held merely by a verbal permission of the government. In the extensive improvements going forward, the schools of the missiona- ries must be removed; but the government has allowed the mission the large sum of $33,-000 in gold for their premises, and with this sum they are building in another part of the city. The mission is becoming more and more a power in Egypt. For the support of this mission, the ex-King, Maharajah Duleep Singh, now residing in England on a salary of £25,000, grants annually a donation of £1,000 or $5,000. This generous contribution has been made annually since 1864 or 1865, when he married a pupil whom he found in the mission school of Cairo. The labors of Miss Whately are equally worthy of notice; she is a lady of great refinement and ability. Her letters appear in the " Sunday at Home," published in London. She has published a volume entitled, " Ragged Schools in Egypt." Bayard Taylor may consider missions as unworthy of his pen, but he is not the first literary man of eminence who has been mistaken in his estimate of Christianity as a vital force in the world's regeneration. Tn the early days of Christianity Tacitus the historian and Quintilian the rhetorician, reRev. L. H. Gulick.—Numerous persons garded Christianity as a mere " Jewish suhave inquired for Dr. Gulick, and the fol- perstition." So now, literary men like Baylowing, clipped from one of our exchanges, ard Taylor may regard missions to the heathen as something unworthy of notice, or to be gives the information: dismissed with a sarcastic fling. Our only Dr. L. H. Gulick has been visiting the reply is, Christians laboring to spread abroad missions in Turkey." the Gospel can afford to wait! " �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 23 ADVERTISEMENTS.
