3lmicHlade the Island. At nine, A.M., a boat came
off with' ten young men; dressed in white shirts and trowers
after the European, style. They spoke English very well. Some
of them had very regular English features, while others bore
strong marks of their partly Otaheitan origin. 'Their com-
plexion, which is naturally of an olive cast, seems heightened
by the effect of the sun. They brought with them a few pre--
sents, such as bananas, cocoa-nuts, water melons, &c. After
the usual compliments had passed on the occasion, they were
asked down into the cabin ; some' bread and butter was placed
on the table, and they were invited to eat, which they declined
doing, alleging that it !was Friday and a fast day, and which
they dedicated solely to' their 'Maker. However,. after some
persuasion, and after some consultation among themselves, and
asking the Captains whether they thought it would-be proper,
arid being answered in the 'affirmatiVe, they raised their hands
to Heaven, and said grace with the most unaffected sim-
plicity ; they ate but little, and that more out of polite-
ness than a wish to do it. A small quantity of rum, very
much diluted with: water, was then offered; they hesitated,
but at length one two were , pressed to drink, which they
did, wishing every one good health. After the things were
removed, they sung a hymn, craved a blessing, and sat down.
They appeared, intelligent, and shewed an inquiring disposition:
they could read a little, and seemed anxiogs to learn Their
boat, which was very leaky, was in the meantime hoisted on
deck, and repaired. It was an old whale-boat, and they said this
was he second time that the Americans had repaired it for them.
In the,afternoon one of our boats went ashore ; we landed near
the Mountains, through some surf, rocks, &c. ; and by the dex-
terity of the islanders, arrived safe without getting wet. The
boat washauled up on a small beach; where we were met by
two or three good-looking children; having crosses about their
necks. Wr ascended a mountain at least 400 feet in height,
covered with plaintain, cocoi-nut trees, tea-root, and grass; a
path wound up along the side of it, and was very difficult
travelling, being wet„muddy, and extremely narrow.
When we got to the top we descended into a valley of cocoa-
, nut trees, planted in rows, the work of the Islanders. At
length, .after travelling a mile or two, we again descended into
another valley like the former, planted with cocoa-nuts add the
' tea plant ; having ascended it, we found ourselves almost be-
fore the doors of the houses, and in the midst of the commu-
nity. Old and young came out to meet us. The women were
clothed in mantles made of paper-mulberry, and flung loosely
over their shoulders ; they were nearly white, and comely in
their appearance—all of their speaking English.' Some time
after John Adams, whom he had met half way to the landing
place, arrived at the huts with our Captain and two or three
women. Five of their houses are built in an open area cut
out of the surrounding woods ; they are constructed of strong
and durable wood of the colour of mahogany, and are two
stories high—the parts joined together with a great degree of
nicety and strength. The sides were so contrived that they could
in a few minutes give it the appearance of a skeleton of one,
thehdanks, sliding out,; the wind can circulate freely through
every part whenever necessity or convenience require it. They
were built by the young men, who are-exceedingly well skilled
in the use of tools. Most of their implements of husbandry
were saved from the Bounty,' hut are now almost useless
from continual wear. There were two other hduses situat-
ed at some little distance from• these first, and hidden by
the trees, one of them belongs to John Adams. , There were
six of the native Otaheitan women living, one of them,
the wife of Adams, was nearly blind, the others were strong,
and bore their age well. There are seven families, consisting of
fifty-three souls in all. This little community live together in
the utmost harmony ; no animosity or petty quarrels were ob-.
served among them ; on the contrary. a mutual and cheerful
wish to contribute to each others happinZss appeared to actuate
every one. Theirs is a state which reminds one strongly of the
description of our first parents,before they sinned. No man de-
serves higher esteem than John Adams. Providence, by the
instrumentality of this man, has reared a new people strong in
Vie paths of virtue. Every thing which they thought would add
to our convenience was offered ; hogs, fowls, plantains, every
production of the island, were presented •to us with 'cheerful
hearts. We left these virtuous Islanders with regret, carrying
with us opinicons the most favourable' of their virtue and
hospitality.
