The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1865-11-25

On our first page will be found an interesting
statement Of the doings OF the pirate Shenandoah,
in April last, at Ascension Island, and the
sutierings OF the victims Of her cruelty. Though
somewhat cut Of date we venture to give it
entire, as a part OF the history OF the most
wicked and cruel rebellion that ever cursed this
earth. The destruction of the Rdtcaliqn whaler
Harresf, which had been under1our flag tor
three years, and was differed and manned by
Hawaiians, was q piece of the most malicious
deviltry, exhibiting, perhaps, more than in the
destruction of the American vessels, the aban-
dOned character OF the pirates.
From the principal ports in this ocean, advices
have been received to the early part of Septem-
Der but rs no report of her comes to hand yet,
it is more than likely that she put into some
out-of-the-way harbor for temporary reftting
and recruiting, thence to proceed to an English
port to be sold provided any one can be found
to take the risk of purchase. Our own belief
is she will turn up in some Australian port
perhaps one in which there may be no American
Consul stationed. Waddell found 50 many adj
miring friends there, that the inducements to
return would be greater than 10 90 anywhere
else. And no doubt he will be feted and feasted
there as the only hero of the war who has
survived without the modification Of a surrender
or . pardon. Such is modern neutrality.
The bark Kdmehameha Y was dispatched to
the rescue of the seamen of the burned ships, by
Messrs. D Foster Il Co., of this city, under an
agreement Nth the Hawaiian Government that
they would be paid $50 per head for all Hawai-
ian seamen RETURNED in her. The American
Consul at this port, dwell, also made a
similar engagement fol mer,ca~ amen,
50 far as he had authority , do so,--e whole
matter to be referred for approval to Washiag-
ton. Messrs. Foster and Co. certainly deserve
thanks for assuming the risk OK the whole enter
prise as they did, and which has been very sue
c~essfully carried out without an accident "
death On board.
