He gives evidence OLA good mind, and is
remarkably fond Of study. In conduct

occasionally inirusted, liz has discover
cd much intelligence, and uprig Illness OF
conduct. And amid all the temptations
with which he has been surrounded while
common sailor in the Navy, has nor, as
far is can he asccrtained, been addicted
toany vice.
He can already read and write well
speaks English better than any of his
companions; but has almost entirely for
gotten his native language. He is, howev
or. ina situation to regain il, :is some of
his companions speak il readily.
The following facts are worthy of a
place in this acco,nt-A gentleman Of
Boston, who was y. The Sandwich Islands
about two Years, informs, that in CONVEX
satien with ramorec, King of Atooi, he
took occasion 10 speak 10 him of the
Christian religion, and recommended it

treated, and bring him back will, an cd

attempt ~ convince me of the excellence
of vourrclision !"
The following notice is taken from the
Ecs'oa Heccrder, of Nov. 1916:
Capt. Edes, who arrived at this port
on Thursday last, from HE Facifc Ocrap,
was at Aiooi, and saw King Tamoree.-
lie cnguircd particularly after his son,
but Capt. Edes could give him no iifov-
NATION. Capt. +. relates the following
anecdot-
Capt. Ebbets. in the ship Enterprise.
Of \. York, was at Atooi, in February
last: and during violent gale. lost all his
anchors but oisc. Jhe ship was saved by
height of the gale, with alarge anchor on
board, and thus enabled him to ride ii

An American ship and the lives Of Sc
vcral American seamcn, lavc thus been
preserved by the humane exertions of
King Tamoree.
Let every American remember, that
Tamoree has a son in this country
for several years past, he has been endu-
ring all the harCsllips attendant upon the
life of Il common sailor on board our fii-
gatcs-that he fought i'm several of our
battles during the late war, and was badly
wounded-and although some thousand
dollars were scntwith him, when he came
10 our country, by his Father, for The pur-
pose of enabling him 10 receive an educa-
ton, he is at the present time poor, and
dependent OIL the charity of liberal indi-
viduals for his support.
1t may be interesting to the public 10
state, that Tamorec, the father of George
Prince, and King OF two Islands, is the on
~ brother of Tamahamaah, King of the
other nine Islands belonging o the Sand
witch Islands.
Tamoree has one son besides George,
but his reason is destroyed by fits. la
mahamaah had but one son, who some
some years since went off in vessel, and
has not been heard Of since. This
young Prince, tier, is al present the heir
apparent 10 the dominion OF all the Sand
wicii Islands.
TIC this il may &c added, that five or
six other natives ofthe Sandwich Islands
arc pursuing their studies viii, the Young
Prince. They are all entirely dependent
on charity for their support. Hitherto
the expense attending their Instruction
has been betrayed by the contributions
OF charitable societies. and donations OF
individuals in the different states. En-.
couraged by success, the board Of agent.
