went to Ponape, where Capt.

can schooner Ariel, was taken on
board. CThe Ariel was formerly the

After two days, proceeded to
Kusaie, and took on board the mis-

family, the Rev. Mr.. Leleo and
children and Mrs. Rev. Haina and

days, and heard there of the loss of
the schooner Kaluna on the Gilberts,
and also that of the Olo Singa.
They here took on board the crew of
the Morning Star.
Leaving Jaluit for Honolulu, bound

VOYAGE or THE JENNIE WALKER.

Capt. Holland, of the schooner
Jennie Walker, said when he was
leaving for the Carolines in July,
that he expected TO be back for his
Christmas dinner. Sure enough he
was, but few hours later and his
turkey would have been pretty cold.
His vessel was just coming through
the reef when the first part of the
band concert was being played yes
terday afternoon. Before the con-
cert was over he presented his genial
countenance in Emma Square, and
was warmly greeted there by many
of his friends. Below we give
record of the Jennie Walkers voy-
age.
Left Honolulu on July 23rd,
bound for Jaluit. Arrived there
after a very stormy passage of 22
days. Remained there two days,
landing stores for the Gilbert Is
lands mission, to be forwarded by
the schooner Kaluna. Thence pro-
ceeded to Kusaie, west, arriving
there after passage Of three days,
and found all well there. Landed
Miss Palmer, missionary, and stores
for the Rev. DR.. Peas and Miss
Cathcart. Remained three days,
taking on board Mrs. Rand, who had
been left behind after the wreck of
the Morning Star. Thence departed
for Ponape, arriving there in seven
days, and lying off four days before
effecting an entrance into the har-
Dor. Found all well there, and re-
mainedethree days, landing mission
stores. Proceeded thence to the
Mortlock Islands, reaching them in
seven days. Had experienced Il
westward gale for 16 hours, sup
posed to be the same one that proved
fatal to the American schooner
"Ariel" and the German schooner
solo Singa" at Ponape. Arriving at
the Mortlocks on Sept. 25th, re-
mained there four days, finding all
we'll at the mission and leaving sup
plies. Thence proceeded to Ruk,
making the passage in five days.
Anchored off the Island of Toloas
in 26 fathoms of water. Took the
Rev. Mr.. Logan in whaleboat tC
Ruk, to find Moses the teacher, but
not succeeding cruised about il
search of a suitable site for a mis-
sion station.
At Fefarn Island all the owners O
land were willing to grant the neces
sary ground, but owing to the alb
sence of a woman proprietor nothing
could be effected. Therefore, an in
vitation to VIOLA Island was accepted
where a plot of 80 acres of eXcellen
land was taken over on behalf O
the American Board Of f. Missions

charge cargo, everything was landed
in fine condition. Captain and crew

ST. ANDREWS CATHEDRAL.


this church were of an unusually
interesting character. The interior
of the building was most profuscly
decorated with ferns, palm leaves,
chrysanthemums, geraniums, roses,
etc. The altar, which was in charge
of Mrs. Willis and the sisters of st.
Andrews Priory, was covered with
most beautiful bouquets of flowers,
and text, "Good will towards
men," The rood screen, which
never looked better, was decorated by
II. NJ. Queen Emma. Mrs. Wodc-
house had charge of the pulpit, and
the Misses Bertha Won Holt and
Mist made the font II perfect bed of
evergreens and flowers. The services
commenced at $50 O'Clock by q
choral celebration of Holy Commu-
Mon in Hawaiian, the Rev. Alex.
Macintosh being the celebrant.
This was followed at 7.30 O'Clock
with choral celebration in English.
The Bishop celebrating. At $50
O'Clock came morning prayer in
Hawaiian with an appropriate Xmas
sermon, by the Rev. Alex. Mackin-
tosh. The special hymns were
heartily sung. At IL O'Clock oc-
Cured full choral service in English,
which was attended by congrega-
ton that filled the church to over
flowing. The music was specially
selected and was sung in very fine
manner by the large choir, particu-
larly the lie Deum and the Anthem,
In the beginning" The proper
psalms for the day were sung to
single chants, and the old familiar
Christmas hymns were rendered
with fine effect.
His Lordship Bishop Willis took
his text from Isaiah, " For unto us a
child is born,' and said the birth
of the Redeemer was the central
figure in the worlds history. AS
we'll imagine the solar system with
out the sun as the condition the
world would be in were it not for
the event celebrated on this anniver-
sary. What would the position of
mankind be if the history of the
gospel proved to be as legendary as
that of the birth of Romulus and
Remus! Instead of walking in the
light of immortality they should be
cropping in darkness. Not only had
mans nature been assumed by God,
but his representative had been
exalted to the right hand of God,
and that was the well-spring OF
salvation to us. The preacher re-
piled to the objections raised by
some, that this prophecy was full
filed in the times of Isaiah, ant
therefore could not have referred t.
the Saviour. He said many pro
pheeics were referrable to contem
porary events, which yet had thei
chief fulfllment in the distant future
AS long as the world lasted ther
would be deceivers, however, an,
he urged his hearers to cling NOR
firmly than ever TO the central trutl
they celebrated that day. "Res
not satisfied" he added, "that yol
have been to Bethlehem, but sprea'
the good news around"

Toxic Streets.

The streets of Toxic, Japan, are 80
narrow and crowded that it is an an
noyance to ride through them. Every
driver carries a horn in order to warn
people to get out of the way, yet such
is the crush of stages, ears and ginreks-
has that the blockades are frequent
and sometimes disastrous. A cores
pendent OF the San Francisco Bulletin
narrates his experience in . Toxic
horse-car, as follows:
The other day I was riding in from
Asakusa on one of the cars, when sud-
denly we came to a halt.
Looking out of the car, what should
prove to be the cause of the Interrupt
ton but a monster pine tree, of the
dwarf species SO common in Japan,
which was being transported on a
wagon. evidently constructed for that
purpose. from n part of the city to
another.
At the base the trunk must have been
six feet in circumference, but it was only
about fifteen fee: high, terminating in a
flat, broad canopy Of branches.
The blockade lasted several hours,
during which time street-cars ceased
running and everybody took the whole
thing as a matter of course.
The motive power in transporting the
tree was a long string of oxen and
scores of street coolies, who put their
shoulders to the huge canvas-wrapped
wheels and chorused the usual Gus
tomary grunt Of Japanese coolies.
