But the result has shown that benevolence in her most daring and desperate efforts need not despair. Hardly can a Washingtonian in America yield to temptation and fall, before he is surrounded by his brethren, raised up again and watched over till sober, and hedged about by moral and social restraints that keep him in moat cases from Ailing again. Such is a rapid birds-eye view of the Washingtonian movement in the United States, lis sound has gone out through all the earth, its report unto the. ends ofthe world. The Hawaiian Islands are feeling its benign influence, and Washingtonians are gathering on ship and shore.

Nearly the entire distance from the spot where the raft was built, to the island, they were obliged on account of currents, to warp—by repeated swimming with a line, and making it fast to the bottom, then hauling up. Having reached the island, they were actively engaged in making necessary preparations for a residence, until some friendly vessel should take them off. They found some remains ofthe wrecked Gledstanes, which served for firewood and building materials. One solitary dog, was the only living representative of civilized life, which had been left by the crew of the Gledstanes. He had lost his domestic habits, and after some weeks was caught. Being in good condition, his flesh afforded some variety to a constant diet upon sea-fowl and seals. It was estimated that they killed rising of 7,000 sea-fowls, and about 60 seals. From the old wreck of the Parker they obtained some pieces of copper which were manufactured into cooking utensils. They sent oft" 120 sea-fowls, with tallied pieces of wood attached to them, hoping some one might be caught, which would in hicroglypic language relate the situation of the crew of the. Parker. Thus month after month passed away.
