Then a. the King went into the house al the

his revolver. but seing that lie did not fall. lie
went 70 him and pushed him over CT his face.

Q! bis neck and shoulders, till be VS. satisfied he
had killed him and chen leir Ayoanger brother
Of the King butchered the third hawaiian on his
wav u the boat, I think.
Meanwhile. the brother Of the King who had
stood By and b=friended the missionaries from
their first arrival, had attended, their meetings
and schools, and lad become quite 4 proficient in
their books, told the missionaries 70 fee into the
bush for their lives for he did not know what
his brother might DO. He accompanied them 70
where he thought rhey would be secure, and
told them u remain there while he went % see
his brother. And if he thought II prudent for
them ID return 70 their houses be would let them
know. But the missionaries did not think II
well 70 Do So, AMI pushed on with their little
ones some ten miks through sun and sand, bush
and what not. til they came within reach Of
Captain Randau's 7esseI. where this same friendly
chief who had accompanied them, got q canoe
and put than on bard.
Il seems the mate got back 10 the PfsH, and
Capt. L., fearing or the safety Of the mission
aries, took a boat and went ashore 10 get them.
On going toward he house, calling "kauoa,"
.skanoa.'' he wal adlnoni=hed BY balls flying
past bis head that his own safety required his
speedy return TO his vessel.
Having set his .,I7rs az half mast, the two
other vessels in tte lagoon soon came down 70
him. Captain Ran1all's wife. being 4 near rela-
tive Of the King, hesent her ashore to see whether
it would be safe foI him to land. She soon re-
turned and told hin to 20 ashore.
1 need not 90 more into details Of the story,
except to say that after some negotiation, the
way seemed clear fr the missionaries to return.
But the thoughts 0; their bloody house and the
horrid butchery Of their countrynen - deferred
the women that they could not be persuaded TO
prudent for them 20 back jus, then. 81 Capt.
4. kindly told them that he would give them 4
passage or take them 70 whatever place they
might wish to 60. They concluded al once to
come 70 Ebon.
Maka and wife viii remain with US on Ebon
while Kanoa and family viii % u Kusaie until
q way Is opened for hem u return 10 Butaritari.
They left everything in ;heir houses, except the
clothes they stood If when they hed-,heir mail,
letters. papers aud dl-all unread upon their Ia
bles-not thinking it prudent to return to their
houses Cor the least ming.
Until Capt. Fury came | had no doubt that
the whole affair was , drunken. passionate resent
ment of the King for the friendly manner in
which his brother and many of the people had
been treating the missionaries and received their
Instructions, agains his wishes and against his
word. For l hay, but little doubt that that
friendly brother Of the King has several times
during the past yer stood between that Kings
knife and those missionaries.
But Capt. Eurys mate, Mr.. Robin. who has
been about those isRnds ever since We were there
in the Caroline in kj2. heard from Capt. Ran
dall's wife, that III. whole affair arose from the
Kings having heaid through that Joseph, that
Capt. Zeisenhirt hod a very peculiar double-bar-
relied gun, and the King was exceedingly anxious
to get it. Without seeing Captain l.. he had
rolled down a casI Of oil on the beach for the
gun. But Capt. T., either having heard or
thinking the oil belonged To Capt. Randall, de-
clined trading the gun for it. Mr.. Robin told
me that Capt. Zigenhirt's saying Tor having
been reported as s;yins) that - the talk about
the oil belonged to capt. Randall and not to the
King 20 offended his Majesty that he peTpe-
trated those barba'ities simply and solely to re-
sent the insult to hs dignity Botl Capt. Fury
and his mate have no doubt but this is the true
statement and the facts in the case. For not
withstanding the bDod split and other a%trocious
barbarities upon tie bodies Of the slain Cas seen
by Capt. Z. from rs mast head the King would
not be satisfied until Capt. Randall had pur-
chased the gun for MIN, and purchased and made
him other much coveted presents.
