MISSIONARY pF HAWAII.
Eakela Was the Recipient Of Watch
ard Chain fran Abraham
Linoln.

There died recently in Honolulu prob
ably the most famois Of the native mis-
sionar1es of those Stands, or in fact Of
the entire Pacific isands. lie was known
to Abraham Lincon and had been the
recipient of a zpresnt Of a watch and
chain from the maHyred president.
Rev. James K. IeIela was his name.
and he was naive Hawaiian and 50
years eff age at De time OF his death.
He was. one of the Irst converts to Chris
tianity by the Missionaries in the Ea-
waiian Islands, a1l after being ordained
a minister he welt to the Marquesas is
lands in answer % a request from enc
Of the chiefs to Dund a Christian mis-
sion.
After great diieulty the mission was
established, butWhen in 1863 a pirate
5lack-birding sip came to the island
and abducted a lumber OF the natives,
including the chEf's son, the chief swofe
to return to caIhibalism as soon as he
got. the chaneeto set his teeth into a
piece of whitehesh. His opportunity
came the following year, when an Amer
lean vessel cage to the island and the
mate was madeaptive.
Kekela ransaned the mate, however,
by presenting lie chief with a fine whale
boat. LincoII was then president and
ae sent to KeEla gold watch inscribed
with thanks pr the service rendered by
the native m fsionary and extending, in
an autograpIIetter. an invitation to the
|told man to sit America. Many other
presents wss also sent to the mission

in the Mardesas Islands for so years
and then rellrned to Honolulu.

day. The shipWrecked sailors then es-
tablished a camp near the shore and for
nearly a week were not disturbed. when
they were again attacked by their first
captors. but with the assistance of some
of the members Of the other tribe man
aged to beat them off.
Then followed another period Of two
weeks of comparative rest and quiet,
when another fierce fight took place, and
their friends were defeated and routed.
Fought with Poisoned Arrows.
Ellis, in relating their experiences.
says the savages fought with lanees
made Of a very hard wood, and with ar
rows, thrown out Of the hand BY a neat
trick that he had never seen before.
The warriors took the arrows with the
point forward and, resting them be-
tween the two first fingers, with the
thumbs down, and the little finger up
made a sort Of spring out of their
fingers and shot the darts with amazing
speed and accuracy. The tips were ali
fetal wound was necessary to cause
death. These darts were notvery heavy,
nor long.
They later learned the welcome news
that they We're to be eaten. and that
they were safe from that form Of death,
as the sayages will not eat any body who
has been killed by the deadly poison.
The natives, however, held the single
rifle, the only means Of protection of the
white men, in great awe, and while they
remained in possession Of it their lives
were comparatively safe.
Their peace. however, was short-lived,
for before long they were again captured
by their original foes
Tortured by the savages.
One of the men, Niessen, received an
| unmereiful beating for letting a pole fail
On the head Of one Of the chiefs. The
| accident was entirely unintentiona1, and
while he lay insensib1e on the ground
the savage hurled a heavy rock down
| upon him and crushed three of his toes.
The rest of the prisoners were all Sc
| eurely bound and could render their
partner no assistance. but finally one OF
the men managed to release himself and
cut OF the poor fellows toes before he
regained consciousness. This act I'M
| doubtedIy saved Niessen's life.

inland and was searching for the band
that had befriended them.
The rest were taken some ten miles
from the place of their landing to the
permanent camp Of the tribe. Here they
learned from the logs Of other vessels
that had been wrecked on the lnfriend-
1y coast that they need expect no mercy
at the hands of the savages.
More than one poor soul had evident;
the cannibal chief. They were some
distance inland, and there were no hopes
Of signaling any passing vessel.
Here they were given rude huts to live
in and left to themselves. The canni-
balls, however, kept rigid watch over
their captives and they were given to
understand that they would be well
treated if they made no attempt to es-
cape.
Fattened for O Feast.
Food was regularly brought to them,
and the men at that time had no knowi-
edge Of what was in store for them.
Their only hope was that Capt. Reed

rescue, or that another wreck would
bring some men with weapons and boats
to the island.
With nothing to occupy their time,
they passed much Of their time sleep
ing, which seemed to greatly please the
natives. One big, ugly-looking native,
evidently the chief, kept close watch on

truth dawned upon them that they were
being fattened for feast of the canni-
balls, but they were helpless and alone

ard with no seeming hope for escape
from the terrible fate.
There was not weapon of any kind
among them, not even q knife, with
which they might have killed them
selves, had they SO desired.
But life was dear to them and they
proposed to make the sayages pay dear
" for their feast. They also hoped
against hope that Reed might come to
their rescue.
1t was a trying experience for the
shipWreeked men. and it is remarkable
that they lived to tell the tale.

very similar; their situation and daily
life was much the same. But all the
time their ultimate doom was approach

satisfaction Of the cannibals.
Nothing was heard Of Reed, and It
was feared that he had also met an IN
