THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
AUGUST %

- 4 49,
1t has ALWAYS been presumed that the Hawai-
ian Government took a great interest in It's COM
mercial marine, and necessarily in Hawaiian
seanen, as it exacts 4 bond from any master who
engages one of them for a voyage, or term Of
service, by which the master binds himself TO
return the seaman at the expiration of the term,
said bond to have sat least one sufficient Sc
c%urity.' This is certainly q wise provision,
and has been followed by the happiest results /;
but why not be consistent, and instruct the
consuls to have an interest in such as may by
some unforeseen accident, as shipwreck, or cap
ture by pirates, be left abroad?
We are led 10 make these remarks after Pc
rusing a letter from 4 merchant in San Fran
cisco to another in this city, by whose per-
mission we make the following extract "The
Hawaiian seamen are constantly sitting about
the undergrad, waiting for assistance, and.
as your humble servant knows many of them,
and speaks their language, they very naturally
look TO him. Yes, 1 have occupied five whole
days trying 70 help ~them-trying to get them
chances to work, TO earn money to go home
with, but the hardest of all was to get them
out Of the horrid dens in the sailors boarding
houses. The landlords were shipping them off
to different parts Of the world-to any place
but the right one. Poor fellows, they are
more helpless than any other race of people,
away from home"
We also conversed with a person from San
Francisco, who informed Us that the Hawaiians,
numbering some three hundred, were wander
ing about the city, destitute of everything, even
advice, although they had been referred to their
consul, who they said told them he could do
nothing for them. In their helpless condition
they become an easy prey to the runners OF
: sailor clearinghouse and shipping-masters, and
and arc shipped to go on foreign voyages, by
which their chances of ever reaching Hawaii
nei are greatly decreased.
The condition Of the Hawaiians captured on
board the whaleships, and sent to San Fran
cisco, is hard, indeed. Landed on foreign
shores. without means to procure board and
and lodging, and without Il consul to confer
with, with the least hope of having their con-
dition ameliorated, they are certainly objects
of pity.
The American seamen landed here, have, 1t
is true, very limited means for calling for them
selves, but their Government has It's consul
here, whose duty it is to see that they are
comfortably clothed, lodged and fed.
Is it a fact that the instructions from the
Foreign Office to its eonsuls abroad merely
cover the ground relating to the attaching %
certificates to invoices, and receiving the fee o
from one to five dollars, as the case may be
If so, lucky consul-poor, unfortunate Hawai-
! ian sailor.
