The manager &lt;&lt;/ The Friend rriptclfully rei/nesfs the friendly cooperation of subscribers and others to whim this publication
is a regular monthly visitor, to aid in extending the list of pations of this, " the
oldest paper in the Pacific," by procuring
and sending in at least one new name each.
This is a •una 11 thing to do, y,t in the aggregate it will strengthen our hands and enable us to do more in re/urn than has been
promised for the moderate subscription rate
of $3 OO per annum.
Islanders residing or traveling abroad
often refer to the welcome feeling with
which Thk Friend is rcceivd: hence
parties having friends, relatives, or acquaintances abroad, can find nothing more
welcome to send than The FrIEND, as
a monthly remembrancer of their aloha,
and furnish them at the same time with
the only record of moral and religious
progress in the North Pacific Ocean.
In this one claim only this joutnal is entitled to the largest support possible by Unfriends of Seamen, Missionary and Philanthropic work in the Pacific, for it occupies
a central position in a field that is attracting the attention of the 'world more and
more every year.
The Monthly Record of Events, mid
Marine Journal, etc., gives Thk Friend
additional value to home and foreign
readers for handy reference.
New subscriptions, change of address, or
no/ice of discontinuance of subscriptions or
advertisements must be sent to the MANAGES
of Tin. Friend, who will give the same
prompt attention. A simple return of the
paper without instruction, conveys no int lligible notice whatever of the sender's intent.

A limited per/ion of this paper will be
devoted to advr rtisements or Business Cards,
at the following rates, payable, as usual, in
advance. Foreign orders can be remitted

A NEW YEAR'S GREETING.

Willi the must heart)- good will we
wish to all our nailers and patrons a
Happ&gt;' New Year! May this year ol
1892 be filled with blessings and mercies
to each one, and maj we all have cheerful and contented hearts, to rejoice in
all that is bright in our lot. and not to
repine at what may be otherwise.
One of those things which ma)- be
taken cheerfully or otherwise, is a diminished pecuniary ability to meet the
claims upon is of God's work in these
Islands, wl.;!. those claims are increasing rather than diminishing, The regular work of our Hawaiian Hoard now
calls for an outla) of nearly two thousand dollars a month. To meet these
and other needs will require on the part
of our Christian people somewhat heroic
efforts, and perhaps serious self denial
and sacrifi c. We feel confident that
they will n j tice to make such sacrifices.
They will gladly embrace the opportu-

JANUARY,

nity for participating in the Christian heroism that has adorned the lives of
Christ's saints through the ages, and
has heen not least resplendent in these
days of glorious growth of the Kingdom.
The circular issued by the Treasurer
and Secretary of the Board, reprinted in
this issue, tells the story of their needs.
We are confident that the many and
earnest prayers of our Christian people
will he answered by adequate succor to
this great work in its many branches
Our political affairs while free from
serious turbulence, or sense of insecurity, are in a somewhat undefined condition, without definite issues clearly made
by responsible parties. This state of
things is doubtless one of the conditions
incident to a period which has begun,
somewhat transitional in our national
life. Christian people, who believe that
political order and security must depend
upon a general love by the people of
righteousness and honesty, will the more
earnestly address themselves to make
the power of their Lord's holy life and
teaching felt by the whole community,
so that our government may be administered in the fear of God. Meantime
all will earnestly pray that our good
Queen may be abundantly endowed with
wisdom and grace for the difficult duties
of her responsible position.
Illness of Gen. S. C. Armstrong.

NUMHF.K 1.

1892.

Volume

His case seemed likely at first to be
speedily fatal. Subsequent symptoms
indicated the cause not to be a clot on
the brain, as at first supposed; and there
seems to be a good prospect that with
the General's vigorous constitution, he
may so far recover as to be able to attend somewhat to the affairs of the
school, although he will undoubtedly be
debarred from public efforts. As the
school has hitherto depended upon his
personal labors to raise the large sums
required for its annual outlay, great solicitude is felt in the matter. In the
meantime his Hampton choir are going
on with their work, and money has been
sent unsolicited, to the sufferer at the
Parker House. It is gratifying to know
that his mind is clear, although speech
is much obstructed by the paralysis.
A series of graphic and serviceable
letters about the Hawaiian Islands from
Gen. Armstrong's pen have appeared in
the Southern Workman since his return
from here. His so recent visit to his
native land and our delightful intercourse with him renders more poignant
the sorrow with which Hawaiians mourn
this check to his activity.
Hawaiian Politics.—Notwithstanding the fact that it is only five weeks before the biennial election of legislators,
no very definite public action seems to
have been taken by any party except the
•'National Liberals" led by K. W. Wilcox and J. E. Bush. These gentlemen
who three years ago were seeking to
restore arbitrary power to the King, now
avow a desire to overthrow the Monarchy and establish an independent republic. It is not believed that any considerable proportion of either natives or
foreigners are with them. The motive
commonly attributed to their course is
mainly a despair of gaining office by
any other means. The notorious C. C.
Moreno, now in Washington, has been
parading in the eastern papers, the terrible designs of these revolutionists of
Hawaii, who are held in check only by
the "oppressive, rapacious, etc., missionaries." To these repressive agencies
might be added the great majority of
the native and foreign inhabitants, who
do not appear to desire any change of
government. We make these observations in hope of relieving the anxieties
of our readers abroad, who may very
naturally feel disturbed by those reports

According to present appearances, this
noble philanthropist and educator of the
American Negroes has come to the end
of his active career, greatly to the sorrow
and dismay of the friends of the Hampton work. With a corps of Hampton
singers, he was holding a series of
vigorous and successful meetings in
Massachusetts, raising funds for the
school. On Thanksgiving Day, in the
midst of a meeting near Boston, he was
struck down with paralysis of the left
side. He was carried to the Parker
House, where he doubtless still lies, as
there was no prospect of a very speedy
removal to his home. His {amity were
soon with him. He had felt symptoms
of the trouble for three days, but had

Capt. Nares; A Character Sketch.
We fjiye the following vivid description from the pen of Robert Louis Stevenson in his story, "The Wrecker," in
Scribtttr'i Monthly. It powerfully delineates that peculiar combination of energy, intelligence, brutality, and yet on
the whole, good intention, which is
found in so many American shipmasters
and officers, men who on shore are often
excellent citizens and family men, yet
at sea maintain what is little else than
a state of cruel war with their men,
themselves deeply brutalized. We have
reprinted this description in the hope of
siding to a better understanding of those
evil conditions which so terribly pervert
the happy relations which ideally should
subsist between employers and employed at sea as well as on land. Christ
would have us to make peace; but to do
so, we must clearly apprehend the nature and causes of the war, and the mental states of the contending parties. We
regard the following description as a
most valuable contribution to that end.
I had no lack of intellectual exercise
nl a different order in the study of my
inconsistent friend, the captain. I call
him friend, here on the threshold; but
that is to look well ahead. At first, I
was too much horrified by what I considered his barbarites, too much puzzled
by his shifting humors, and too frequently
annoyed by his small vanities, to regard
him otherwise than as the cross of mv
existence. It was only by degrees, in
his rare hours of pleasantness, when In
forgot (and made me forget) the weaknesses to which he was so prone, that
he won me to a kind of unconsenting
fondness. Lastly, the faults were all
embraced in a more generous view :
I saw them in their place, like discords
in a musical progression; and accepted
them and found them picturesque, as
we accept and admire, in the habitable
face of nature, the smoky head of the
volcano, or the pernicious thicket of the
swamp.
He was come of good people down
Last, and had the beginnings of a
thorough education. His temper had
been ungovernable from the first; and
it is likely the defect was inherited, and
the blame of the rupture not entirely his.
He ran away at least to sea; suffered
horrible maltreatment, which seemed to
have rather hardened than enlightened
him; ran away again to shore in a
South American port; proved his capacity and made money, although still a
child; fell among thieves and was robbed;
worked back a passage to the States,

FUNERAL OF MINISTER CARTER.

This honored and beloved Mother,
and the wife of John Thomas Water,
house, Sr., passed from earth, at 9:45
p. m., December 2d. She had for a

The body of the late Minister and
Envoy H. A. P. Carter arrived at Honolulu from New York, accompanied by
his family, on the Australia December 1.
The obsequies were held at the residence of the deceased on the afternoon
of Sunday, December 6, and were attended by a great throng of our citizens,
as well as by Her Majesty the Queen,
with public officials, and foreign representatives, etc. The services were conducted by the pastor of the deceased.
Rev. E. G. Beckwith, who spoke feelingly of his Christian spirit as well as
of his exalted public services.
The pallbearers were Gov. Cleghorn,
His Ex. C. N. Spencer, Hon. J. T.
Waterhouse Jr., L. A. Thurston, J. H.
Paty, S. C. Allen, J. M. Whitney, and
E. A. Schaefer. The burial place was

week been suffering much from spasms
of impeded breath, and her death was
expected at any moment. She was
sleeping very quietly when the final
spasm closed the struggle.
Her birth was at Birmingham, England, Eebruary 14, 1813. Married July
6, 1838, to Mr. Waterhouse; after several
years of residence in Australia, they removed in 1851 to Honolulu, which has
since then been their family home, although of late years, the aged couple
have resided much at Cedar Rapids;
lowa, and have spent much time in
England, crossing the Atlantic almost

yearly.
Mrs. Waterhouse was in many respects, a woman of rare excellences of
character. While of a sweet, cheerful,
and controlled spirit, she was strong in
will, and clear in judgment. She was a
strong helper and wise counsellor to her
husband, in both the acquisition and the
management of his large property, as
well as to an unusual degree the stay
and solace of his domestic life. None
but her own children can tell what was
her unsurpassed excellence as a wise,
tender, Christian mother. Her own life
was one of faith, and she had the joy of
seeing all her children walking in the
ways of Christ.
Her surviving children are Messrs.
John and Henry Waterhouse of this
city, Mr. William Waterhouse of Cedar
Rapids, and Mrs. W. H. Rice of Lihue,
Kauai. There are also two grandsons,
Messrs. William and Henry Dimond,
by a daughter deceased in early life.
It is with grief that we consider that
we shall no more meet so familiarly and
delightfully the cheering and comforting
face of this honored Mother. Our tenderest sympathies go out to the aged
and bereaved husband, whom may the
dear Lord comfort and guide.

The Kawaiahao Sabbath School children were feasted with a luau on Christmas Day.
Her Majesty the Cjueen lent
her presence, to the delight of the young
folks. The Cjueen attended Pontifical

The annual Christmas 'free ccltbia

in the audience room ol the church.
The great school was rather reinforced
in numbers for the occasion than depleted. A very funny ami snowy-bearded Santa Claus dispensed the copious

after which the children adjourned tti
the parlors below, to till up with cake
and ice cream, which were plentifully
supplied.
On Sunday the '.'7th, a Children's

HAWAIIAN ANNUAL FOR 1892.

Thrum's Hawaiian Annual for /.S'o.'
comes to us greatly enlarged. It seems
to contain everything that one can want
of statistical information respecting these
Islands. Pour pages give results of
the Census of population. Seventy-five
pages aie occupied with miscellaneous
matter of great interest. There are two
photogravure plates of Hawaiian Land
Shells, accompanying an article by Prof.
A. B. Lyons. Tourists receive full information to guide their quest.
Everyone who has kept the series of
these Annuals has a library of encyclopedic value about these Islands. All
who desire to be intelligently informed
thereon should get this number, and also
previous numbers if not already owning
them.

Judge L. McCully, delegate of the

The Chilian Trouble.—It is with
great pain and solicitude that we notice
the apparently unconciliatory attitude
of Chili toward the United States in the
Baltimore matter. The latter government has no glory to gain by a war with
Chili, nor can Chili reasonably expect
anything but disaster from such a conflict. No friend of either country can
tail to deprecate a war which must beso injurious to the progress of the
weaker state. We feel assured that the
stronger and limit enlightened Power
will exhaust the resources of diplomacy
before employing force to gain redress.
This kingdom, as well as the Pacific
states, cannot fail to nolo one necessary
result of this contention. It will strongly fix the attention of the whole American people upon their naval necessities
in the Pacific, towards which a majority
of them have been extremely indifferent.
A continuance of this quarrel with Chili
must create a strong sense, now lacking, of the immediate need of the Nicaragua Canal, which if now open would
arm the United States with triple power
against her adversary, such as would
probably secure the most considerate
behsvior on the part of Chili. Coming
nearer home, this affair is likely to intensify the American sense of need of
their proposed Naval Station at Pearl
Harbor. Both of those measures seem
likely now to receive fresh impetus.

Rev. 0. P.

This time our page

is

luiitor.

devoted

to a

statement of the financial condition of

the Hawaiian Board. We believe our
pastors are interested in the facts and
are willing to face them even when they
argue a need of funds, and suggest the
propriety of contribution. Il is a great
benefit all around that tbe Board is
carrying on so extensive a work. Its
organization is not vet complete, nor
are its newer missions adequately developed, and some day We hope to see it
establish a mission to the unchurched
white man of these Islands. But to
keep it at what it is now doing is the
obligation of every one. Many have
received our circular. We ask oil who
read this page to take it as a personal
matter, and send us what the)- can.
The first to respond to our circular
was the beloved pastor of the Central
Union Church. The coffers were about
empty when his hundred dollars came
in. Next came a niter from latin i
Waterhouse promising the Board one
hundred and lift) dollars a month for
twenty-four months. Such a promise
is a stout staff to lean on. and will help
can')- the work forward a Ion:; way.
Such a way of giving is very acceptable,
and will save the Secretary and Treasurer a good bit of won)-.
Another has promised to give twenty
dollars on the last day of the voir.
We hear of still a foiutii who was inquiring after tin- Secretary with a purpose to make a donation.
A letter has come from vet another, a
firm, strong friend of the Board and of
every other good cause, saving that he
will certainly give in his contribution
soon. Who will be the next to help us ?
Good friends, if you will all do something, each according to his ability.
the required balance will be forthcoming and the work will go on without a
jog. We want you to have a propertyright in what is being done even to the
smallest sum. When you have given
us your hard earned money, we knowthat we shall also have your kindly interest and continued remembrance at the
throne of grace.
Two live dollar subscriptions just received, are hereby gladly acknowledged.
Rooms

of

the Hawaiian Board,

Honolulu, Dec. 15, 1891.
Dear Sir: The Board of the Hawaii
Evangelical Association, through its
Secretary and Treasurer invites your
kind consideration of the following facts
touching the work it has in charge:
an

There are now six separate missions
which are being cared for by our Board.
They are in fair state of organization
with Church buildings and school
houses, and pastors, teachers and evangelists.
fhe heavy outlays called for at the
starting of the new missions have mostly been met. A few hundred dollars
are yet due on the l'ortuguese chapel
just erected at Hilo. With this exception, it but remains that we keep the
work on its present basis with a view to
natural enlargements.
The monies we accordingly ask are
not for building purposes.
By your
generous aid this part of the work has
been already well advanced. Our aim
is now to perfect existing organizations
and keep the field manned with wellsupported and vigorous workers. In
what we are doing ioi native Hawaiians,
tin- educational department requires
most outlay. The North Pacific Mission. try Institute and the Kohala Girls'
School, which are directly under the
charge of the Board, have been brought,
at a considerable expense, to a fine
state of efficiency.
It remains that we
continue to these institutions, so invaluable to the cause, our most generous support.
We lack the means to extend, as we
feet we ought, the list of our Hawaiian
publications. The late Mr. H. R. Hitchcock's valuable translation of the "Story
of the Bible " is still in manuscript,
awaiting the means of publication.
Though our missionary pastor, the Rev.
S. Waiwaiole, is doing a good work
among our afflicted brethren of the
Leper Settlement, we have not yet
established our long talked of school
there. Lor such a work funds would be
needed.
There is also a special call for schoolwork to be done among the Portuguese
and the Chinese. Our school accommodations for these people are already
over-crowded, and yet new pupils are
pressing for entrance. Whatever else is
done, this demand for the education of
the youths of thase two prolific races
which take so naturally to our Hawaiian
soil must be met, for so we shall best be
preparing them for intelligent, Christian
citizenship.
Our responsibility for the evangelization of the Japanese has been greatly
enlarged. Formerly, the laborers of but
one island, now those of the entire
group, are under our care. In view of
the present and prospective increase of
these people among us, this community
cannot afford to let them remain unevangelized.
In assuming to establish a general
city mission with two resident evangelists, and with Queen Emma Hall as a
center, we
have virtually added a
seventh mission to our care, a rescue
mission, this time for wanderers among
our white brethren as well as for other
unchurched people. In its support we

'

are ably seconded by the brethren of the
Y. M. C. A., and by the sisters of the
W. C. T. U. This mission is daily proving its usefulness, and we aie confident
that our patrons will continue to grant
it their liberal support.
Most hopeful reports of a great
awakening in our Gilbert Isl.mils' missions have come to gladden us, and
revive interest in the foreign work. The
feeling is, that this mission, which is
now manned in part by aged Hawaiians,
should be reinforced with new recruits.
A most urgent request for aid has
come from the Hawaiian brethren laboring in the Marquesas, With much toil,
and with almost no help, they have
built up two boarding schools the only
two Protestant schools n( the kind on
those islands.
In response, the Board
has ventured, and we believe with the
approval of its constituents, to vote a
slight addition to the usual giant.
It is with these man) 1 appealing voices
in our ears that we lay the facts before
you, glad to tell of what has been clone,
and confident, that with your liberal aid,
we shall be permitted to achieve yet
larger things.

that body to join with the Y. M. C. A. PJ7, or an average of over 49 people.

Towards the latter part of the month
the increase was very marked, as the
following record proves. Nov. 22, SO;
Nov. 28, 10 70, as compared with Dec.
C, 65, and Dec. 15,62, 127. or a gam of
r
i7 poisons. The sailors in attendance
at the praise services here in this hall,
adjourned very largely to the later ser
vices at Cjueen Emma Hall. One night
Cjueen Emma Hall was so crowded that
all could not be accommodated. In
view of this fact an experiment has been
entered upon of hiring for one month
the galvanized iron building on Bethel
street, that has been used as saloon,
shooting gallery, and for political caucuses generally. It will accommodate
about 160 persons, it is thought, and
has the decided advantage of being in a
much more central position than Cjueen
Emma Hall, and the street preachers
and workers, can tbe better bung in the
different ones, whom they may be able
to persuade to attend.
Referring once- again to the Sunday
Evening services, we would oiler the
following statement by wav of compan
son. 'l'he gain in attendance upon last
month is very marked. Last month's
average was .s:;. as compared with the
present months average ol lU7, again
of an average of 2 1 per Sunday.
Then again take it as compared to

he had prospered, not uneventfully, in
his profession; the old lady's money had
fallen in during the voyage of the
Gleaner, and he was now. as soon as
the smoke of that engagement cleared
away, secure of his ship. 1 suppose he
was about thirty; a powerful, active
man, with a blue eye. a thick head of
hair, about the color of oakum and
growing low over the brow: clean-shaved
and lean about the jaw; a good singer;
a good performer on that sea instrument,
the accordion; a quick observer, a close
reasoner; when he pleased, of a really
elegant address: and when he chose,
the greatest brute upon the seas.
His usage of the men, his hazing,
his bullying, his perpetual fault-finding
for no cause, his perpetual and brutal
sarcasm, might have raised a mutiny in
a slave-galley. Suppose the steersman's
eve to have wandered: "You

would bawl; "you want a booting to

hand to linger aft. where he had perhaps
been summoned not a minute before.
"Mr Daniells, will you oblige me Instepping clear of that main-sheet ?" the
captain might begin, with truculent
courtesy, "Thank you. And perhaps
you'll be so kind as to tell me what the
you aredoing on my quarter-deck?
I want no dirt ofyour sort here. Is there
nothing for you to do ? Where's the
mate? Don't you set me to find work
for you, or I'll find some that will keep
you on your back a fortnight." Such
allocutions, conceived with a perfect
knowledge of his audience, so that every
insult carried home, were delivered with
a mien so menacing, and an eye so
fiercely cruel, that his unhappy subordinates shrank and quailed. Too often
violence followed; too often have I heard
and seen, and boiled at the cowardly
aggression; and the victim, his hands
bound by law, has risen again from
deck, and crawled forward stupefied—l
know not what passion of revenge in his
wronged heart.
It seems strange I should have grown
to like this tyrant. It may even seem
strange that I should have stood by and

hardy quality, "this is no way to treat

used to be such things in the old days,
when thirty-five dollars were the wages
out of Boston; and then you could see
ships handled and run the way they want
to be. But that's all past and gone;
nowadays the only thing that dies in an
American ship is a belaying pin. You
don't know; you haven't a guess. How
would you like to go on deck for your
middle watch, fourteen months on end,
with all your duty to do and every one's
life depending on you, and expect to get
a knife ripped into you as you come out
of your state-room, or be sand-bagged
as you pass the boat, or get tripped into
the hold, if the hatches are off in fine
weather ? That kind of shakes the starch
out of the brotherly love and New Jerusalem business. You go through the
mill, and you'll have a bigger grudge
against every old shell-back that dirties
his plate in the tluee oceans, than the
Bank of California could settle up. No;
it has an ugly look to it, hut the only
way to run a ship is to make yourself a
tenor."
"Come, Captain," said I, "there are
degrees in eveiy thing. You know
American ships have a bad name; you
know perfectly well if it wasn't for the
high wage and good food, there's not a
man would ship in one if he could help;
and even as it is, some prefer a British
ship, beastly food and all."
"Oh, the time-juicers?" said he.
"There's plenty booting in lime-juicers.
I guess, though I don't deny but what
some of them are soft. * * It was in
1874 I shipped mate in the British ship,
Maria, from Frisco for Melbourne.
She was the queerest craft in some
ways that I ever was aboard of. The
food was a caution; there was nothing
fit to put your lips to—but the limejuice, which was from the end-bin, no
doubt: it used to make me sick to see
the men's dinners, and sorry to see my
own. The old man was good enough,
I guess; Green was his name; a mild,
fatherly old galoot. But the hands were
the lowest gang I ever handled; and
whenever I tried to knock a little spirit
into them, the old man took their part !
It was Gilbert and Sullivan on the high
seas; but you bet I wouldn't let any
man dictate to me.
'You give me your
orders, Capt. Green,' I said, 'and you'll

.

find I'll carry them out; that's all you've
got to say. You'll find Ido my duty,'
I said; 'how I do it is my lookout; and
there's no man born that's going to give
me lessons.' Well, there was plenty
dirt on board that Maria first and last.
Of course the old man put my back up,
and of course, he put up the crew's; and
I had to regular fight my way through
every watch. The men got to hate me,
so's I would hear them grit their teeth
when I came up. At last, one day, I
saw a big hulking beast of a Dutchman
booting the ship's boy. I made one
shoot of it off the house and laid that
Dutchman out. Up he came, and I laid
him out again. 'Now, I said, 'if there's
a kick left in you, just mention it, and
I'll stamp your ribs in like a packingcase.' He thought better of it, and
he never let on; lay there as mild as a
deacon at a funeral; and they took him
below to reflect on his native Dutchland.
■* But you wait a bit, the cream's
*
coming. We made Melbourne right
enough, and the old man said, 'Mr.
Nares, you and me don't draw together.
You're a fust rate seaman, no mistake
of that: but you're the most disagreeable
man I ever sailed with; and your languageand your conduct to the crew I cannot stomach. I guess we'll separate.'
I didn't care about the berth, you may
be sure: but 1 felt kind of mean; and if
he made one kind of stink, I thought I
could make another. So I said I would
go ashore, and see how things stood;
went, found I was all light, and came
aboard again on the top rail. 'Are you
getting your traps together, Mr. Nares,'
says the old man.— 'No.' says I; 'I don't
know as we'll separate much before
'Frisco; at least,' I said, 'it's a point for
your consideration. I'm very willing to
say good-bv to the Maria, but I don't
know whether you'll care to start me
out with three months' wages. He got
his money-box right away. 'My son,'
said he, T think it cheap at the money.'
He had me there.''
It was a singular tale for the man to
tell of himself; above all, in the midst of
our discussion; but it was quite in
character with Nares. I never made
any good hit in our disputes, I never
justly resented any act or speech of his,
but what I found it long after carefully
posted in his day-book, and reckoned
(here was the man's oddity) to my
credit. It was the same with his father,
whom he had hated; he would give a
sketch of the old fellow, frank and credible, and yet so honestly touched that it
was charming. I have never met a
man so strangely constituted: to possess
a reason of the most equal justice, to
have his nerves quivering at the same
time with petty spite, and to act upon
the nerves and not the reason.
