2. The application of logarithms would
be materially facilitated, and would be-
come universal, as also that of the sliding
rule.
2. The number of good commercial

4. All decimal tables as those of COM

5. Uniformity of weights, measures,

of confusion, Inconvenience, and error.

Those who consent to face this difficulty

venience too much to pay for real and

THE POLYNENIAN.
Honolulu, Saturday, December IL, 1871.

The POlynesian which it was supposed had
departed this life last Saturday, and was reg
ularly delunct, has been recuscitated through
the exertions of some of its friends, and is
now cOnvaescent, although there is still
danger of a relapse which would be fatal
This number, the first of a new series, is
issued as an experiment, and its continuance
will depend upon the reception which it
meets from its former patrons and the public.
We feel our inability to devote to the paper
either the time or the talents of its late able
editor, simply because we have neither; we
have undertaken the work at the request of
the friends Of the "Polynesan, solely from
the desire which we feel and which we be-
lieve is felt here generally, to have some
public organ of communication, through
which information, principally mercantile,
can be collected and disseminated. We
believe that newspaper, conducted on
good principles, is of material benefit to this
community, both in its local effects, and in
the advantages derived from bringing the
Islands into notice abroad, and we also be-
lieve that there are enough liberal and intel
ligent persons in this community to support
one.
The Polynesian will be conducted on the
same general principles as heretofore as the
following remarks which we quote from its
first prospectus, will show: =.
"This paper is the organ of no sect or
party; strictly combining its objects to its le-
gtimate purpOscs-it will not finch from or
fail to act upon the principles upon which it
is establshed-"Pro bono pubiico, !" is the
motto of its banner, and its objects are the
dissemination of knowledge, advancement of
education and civilization, promotion of good
morals, and the commercial and agricultural
interests of the Sandwich Island community
Those immutable principles of Justice and
religion, which are or should be firmly plant
ed in every mans understanding, will be its
guide; and though it adopts the tenets of no
peculiar sect, it will defend the sacred rights
of all-freedom of the press and conscience.
Though deprecating useless controversy, its
columns will be open to subjects of moment
The Polynesian., 1841-12-11

on which various opinions may arise, and I'll
discussion Of which would elicit argument ~
of merit, and usefulness. But thew must nj
Of an elevated character, avoiding scurrltvt h
personalities or any thing tending to exciil
without improving the community" IA
eve appeal to the residents, to miss;onaIhc
ries Of all denominations, travellers, and ally
those who feel an interest in the growth amid
prosperity of their adopted countries, ill.,
which we feel second to none, to aid us il;
rendering this paper to realize the most san ;"
gnine wishes Of its friends"
We shall avoid all unnecessary and usdr
less controversy upon the many excitinl q
topics which agtate this community, but 18th
columns of this paper will always be ope e
to subjects of moment, on which variout
opinions may arise, and the discussion a.
which would elicit arguments of merit DO
usefulness. e
five arc mistaken in the opinions of tl,sr
body of Foreign Residents, regarding t,s.
expediency of continuing to support ners =
paper at this place, or in the indulgence W.,
which they would look upon our own DEM, ,
its and want of ability, we shall most wilna Az
ly'resign our editorship with this numbesr
as we do not expect it will prove sinecurs
But If we do conduct it, we shall not allow
to be made the organ of any faction or part; l.,
neither shall j; be hampcred and its useful
ness restrained, by the fear of any such fad,
ton or party. The Liberty Of the Press WI
are determined to maintain, unmoved bl
fears of loss of patronage, or threats of perl
sonal violence.
With this brief exposition of our viewd
we send forth once more the Polynesian Of
its experimental Grand If it is continued
we shall make the best use of our abilities il
rendering it useful and entertaining paperI
and whatever our success in attempting II,
maintain an organ of communication, hereI
we trust that our motives will be appreciate
by the intelligent and unprcjudiced of thu

DISASTER TO THE SHIP CALIFORNIA
On Friday the Sd inst, as the ship CaIifor
mia was entering the harbor, the wind whic
had been fair, suddenly shifted, and CAM
down in severe squalI from the N. E. tax :
ing her all aback; before the anchors coul@
be let 60, she struck on the middle ground
and remained fast by her stern The wealth
err was very squaly, the wind blowing !
gale, and all attempts to get her off wthou
tightening her, proved unavailng. Thj
Governor, the Captains of the vessels il
port, and most of the residents assemble |
with commendable alacrity, to devise soma
means of rescuing her from her perlous sit1
uaton, and it was at last decided to send thd
brig Joseph Peabody out to her, and Tighten
the ship by discharging a part of her cargq
into her. Capt. Dominis Immediately wen
on board the brig, and she was got in read !
ness with remarkable promptitude, AM
was taken out and anchored at convenien,
distance from the ship, which was now lying
over considerably, as she went ashore
high tide. AT about sunset they began to
discharge into the brig, and continued WORK
ing all night with untirng industry. At
about o'clock an anchor was carried out
from the ship and she was hove up to it, but
still remained aground by the stern; warp
was then taken to the brig, by means Of
which she was rescued from her dangerous
situation, and rode in deep water. 1t was
very narrow escape, as the only hope of her
safety was that the wind should continue TO
blow gale, which it did through the night
thus preventing the surf or the sea from r's'
ing The ship was safely towed into the
harbor the next morning, and moored. III
will be necessary to heave her down, in or
der to ascertain the damage, though she
does not appear to be much injured Muc"
praise is due to all who assisted her tor TIC
