fn0Itn AL toio, We are sdAciy caSn'ieN
in this beautiful spot on these busy and
fertile islands in mid ocean.
As you will remember we sailed from
Seattle Oh the 10Th of hay, On the Dako-
ia. We reached Victoria, b. C. at q.
m. the 2Oth, and ct sail fos San Fran
cisco the same day At 8 p. m. We passed
Tatoosh Light at 9p. M. on . smooth
SEA, and during the sutira trip It aesmed
like an inland sss, 70 smooth and placid
were the waters. Capt. Morse, a. Is us
ual with him, was genial and pleasant,
looking after the comfort Of those oom-
united to his csre. The sficsrs and en-
ployees on board the steamship, all
We'd with eaoa other in showing atteu-
ton to the passengers, and hence the
tins swiftly passed by, and on Tuesday,
at 124 pm. we landed safely at the
company's wharf in San Francisco. This
was Captain Morss's one hundrsdth trip
to the Sound. and We congratulated him
on the good luck that has attended him
for the past years, during which time his
visits have been frequent. and in no In
stance mlrred by accident TO life or
limb, aud only one accident of any i'm
portapcs-whsn the shaft of the steamer
was broken year or 50 since, when 36
or 4s hours out from San Francisco, and
shs lay rolling at the mercy Of the
waves for several days, and WAS finally
picked up by the steamship Victoria and
towcd back to San Francisco, nush to
the relief of passengers, friends and
owners. Captain Morse's qualities as a
seaman never shone more brightly than
on this occasion. when bat pres
enco of mind and perfect command OF
the position, gave the fullest confidence
in this Imminent danger to passengers
and crew.
Landed in Saa Francisco. We headed
TO the Russ House, to meet the welcome
Of mine host, Mr. Seymour. the goniai
proprietor, whose popularity Is almost
worldwide aud whose success in looking
10 the wants Of the public merit their
highest esteem. Here We met Old friends
aud soaie of oar recent noighbo:s and
aoqusintanoes. Among othsr5 Captain
ID. Robinson and family of the barken-
tine kitsap, and Captain Keller OF tho
bark James Chestoti, and IN the cour 70
of the few days following with numer-
Gus other friends, as well rs some newly
made ones.
Hero We made arrangements to pro-
coed on oar voyage to THESE islands, by
sail vessel instead of steamer as former
ly proposed, and we were fortunate
enough to find in port the bark Lady
LampsOn, commanded by Capt. Mars
ton, formerly OF the bark Lunaiiilo.
The Captain has for some years been
sailing between san Francisco and Hon
oiulu. and his superior accommodations
on this boat induced us to become COM
pinlons Gil voyage with him.
OE the first day of June We (inyself
and family( found ourselves safely on
board the good ship Lady Lampson, in
company with Miss Mamie Brown, of
Oakland (going to visit her sister at
Honoiniu), and Captain Swain, retir-
ed whaling master, also of Oakland,
bound for the same port with ourselves
to visit his daughter and TO attend to
business there, and, after bidding a tear
full adleu 10 kind trends and relatives
We SGT sail, on a sea that for Is days was
10 be and WAS our home. Gains and
light winds with head winds delayed us.
or otherwise we would undoubtedly made
lAaSt TX N 1k hara RIIt
tue pleasant companionships of the past
sengers above mentioned and the socia-
biiity of the Captain, together with the
kindness of the officers, Mr.. ClossOn
and Ir. Morrison, and the mannerly
crew served 10 cause this time tina,
otherwise might have land heavily on
our hands to pass quickly.
On the lSti HIST, AT b1a p. H., We ar
rived safely at Honolulu, and were met
by the son of p. {. Jones, of tho firm of
Brewer d Co, who with Carriage drove
Us to the family residence, where we
were so cordially welcomed by MIR. aud
Mira. Jones M tV make Us feel perfectly
at home. Hospitallty-how much IL i'm
piled IN the word, and how far it goes
toward rounding and smoothing the
rough corners and edges of travelling
experience. The people of Honolulu
and the neighboring islands are very
hospitable. aud their welcome il most
cordial and real. We met at the house
of Mr. Jones, the Rev. MIR. Hallenbeck,
whom the people Of Seattle will remem-
Der with gratitude. Many We trust in
the home above will have reason to thank
God for his short visit made to the
northwest coast ia 1881. He is the same
earnest, ardent ChristiaD worker, wiz
ming hosts Of friends and raising many
wandering ones from vice to virtue, from
sin to holiness. Also the kev. Mr.. Cru
IAN, formerly pastor Of the Congrega.
tlonal Church Of Portland, Oregon, now
pastor Of the Fort Street Church in
Honolulu. MIR. Cruzan is man of rare
and varied gifts and has won his way To
the hearts vi the people Of Honolulu As
few ministers have had the 90 ii fortune
TO do Ia any locality. Not only among
those in the church. but also those out
side ut the church, az his endeavOrs
fully testify.
On the Wednesday evening after our
arrival at Honolulu We spoke TO the peo-
pie 1t the Fort Street Church. and were
surprised at the large and intelligent
audience that gathered, which would
have Q impaired fav0rAbly and intellec u
ally With any audience In tho large ci-
ties in the United States. On Thursday,

or Iwelaui and set sail for this place,
distant from Honolulu s. miles, which
We reached at Z Am. the I'D, and were
most cordially welcomed by the people,
who were expecting US amt had proyld-
ed for our comfort.
And now, fearing lest weary Won by
long stories. will close here, and in my
next will continue tire narrative, giving
YOU an impression of the people, Of the
place, the island, tho magniticence of the
scenery, Of MIR. Claus. Sprsckies and his
mammoth operations in sugar produc-
ton, his thousands of acres Of land, ar
