some advice to the Hawaiian members

MEMORIES OF
OLD ISLAND DAYS

The following letter from Hon Cor
s. Il. Bishop, ID. d., will be read with
interest here where Mr.. Gilman is so
well remembered.
Edgartown, Mass, Aug. Q, 1902
Rev. DR.. Bishop:
My Very Dear Friend-Here we (wife
and ID are, in this old whaling town,
that once was thriving nj the oil bust
ness.
Like many others the light OF other
days here has faded and the streets and
homes of the captains we knew so well
in old days at Lahaina have passed
away-the last but one, Capt. Jared
Fisher, died short time since.
There Is a Captain Mellen here in
business, who used to be at Lahaina. /
find Mrs. Holly here who was at one
time in Lahaina, waiting for her hus-
band.
1t is "A singular fact here as noticed
at Honolulu. at our last visit that
there are more widows of the captains
living here now than captains, and in
Honolulu there were more missionaries
wives than there We're men.
The old town Is changing In It's char
acter as a residence 1t is becoming
more, year by year, a summer resort.
There Is II beautiful, safe harbor, ar
fording good boating and bathing, and
il proves to be attractive to people as
far off as pexas. There IL much to re-
mind me Of the place of former years.
In some Of the old residences, in which
hang the pictures OF the captains and
many things brought from round the
Horn"-tea- trays, china work-boxes,
crepe shawls, ct, etc.-cherished arti-
Giles of the calling at the islands.
The new element has introduced
modern buildings, improved grounds,
cultivation OF flowers, and the place is
the better for 1t.
We used to say-or the captains used
to say-thc islands We're first cousin
to Marthas Vineyard, on account OF
80 many Vineyard people who touched
there; and although the last whale
ship that sailed from mere has long
since been broken up, the memory Of
what the Hawaiian Islands were as a
priced place of resort to fathers and
brothers from the frozen north, / find.
rs held in lasting remembrance. AS
Honolulu and Lahaina have changed
so have New Bedford, Edgartown and
Nantucket. New people, new enter
prises. Ring out the old, ring in the
new"
II this is worth the Advertisers no.
tee, let them have IL as what used to
be in old whaling times, when we had
a hundred whale ships anchored at one
time in the Lahaina roadstead, and the
captains contributed to the then wealth
Of our little second city in the king
dom"
