The sixteenth annual report of the
Hawaiian Historical Society, which
has lust been issued from the Gazette
presses contains, among it's many in
teresting documents, the text of the
following letter of Vancouver, writ
ten from these Islands in 1894:
Having visited the Island of Owhy
hee in the years 1892 1873. and 1894;
but aprticularly in the latter year,
when we remained in Karakakooa Bay
from the 18th of January to the 26th Of
February; I beg leave to inform all
commanders of Vessels, &c. &C.; that
we have been treated with the great
est friendship, attention and hospital
ity, by the whole of the inhabitants
of this Island: but particularly by Ta-
maah Maah, it's King; to whose par
ficuiar care I would recommend all
visitors to entrust themselves, not
withstanding we have been treated
with the greatest attention and civil
ity by every other chief-they are.
however, to be trusted with proper
caution, Kahow Modoo, in one in
stance, having not altogether acted
equal to the character I have given
of him, in writing, on my former
visit.
Tamaah Maah's conduct has been of
the most princely nature: supplying us
with every refreshment the Island af-
fords, and other necessary articles,
without the unpleasant task of bar
tering for such things; and for his
friendly and good behavior L caused a
large boat to be built and given him,
called the Britannia: her size &cer-&c
being mentioned on a plate of copper,
nailed to the stern of that vessel.
T also beg leave TO inform all visit
ors that on the 18th. of February, in
a grand council of the principal Chiefs
of this Island, assembled on board His
Britannia Magesty's Vessel under my
command Tamaah Maah made the
most solemn cession, possible, of the
Island of owhyhee to His Britannia
Majesty, his heirs, &c. and himself
with the attending chiefs unanimously
acknowledged themselves subject to
the British crown I therefore in the
name Of the King my master, recon-
mend him to be treated with all the
kindness he so justly win be found to
merit: as also the other Chiefs and
inhabitants of the Island, in such
manner as their conduct hereafter may
entitle them to deserve. And I like
wise beg leave TO recommend Messrs
John Young and Isaac Davis to whose
services not only the persons &c. under
my command have been highly indebt-
ed for their good Offices. but I am
convinced that through the uniformity
of their conduct and unrenitting good
advice to Tamaah Maah and the diff
ferent chiefs, that they have been ma
teriaily instrumental in causing the
honest, civil, and attentive behavior

Last evening at the Christian church
the Peace Day discourse was given by
Hon. John G. Woolley from the text
j" And Pursue It, = Ps. 34-I4. Mr.. Wool
ley said:
Speaking broadly, the message of the
Old Testament is political, while that
of the New Testament is individual;
and now, in working out the higher
problems of democracy, we are publish
ing the resultant of the two--the social,
or working, testament.
Jesus prophesied that Christian men
could do and would do greater works
than he himself could compass in the
brief time and under the difficult con
ditions of his ministry, and in the pres
ent functioning of ambitious, trained,
and triumphant individualism into a
system of competitive socialism which
ex-President Roosevelt called "a fair
deal all round, that astonishing pre-
diction is already fulfilled in the crown

rocks and smothering vapor, upward to

is the only report that can be made,
concerning things or men; and when
the dip of the creation is upward, that
is progress.
I would as well declare right now,
that I am in temperament, in philoso-

VANCOUVER THOUGHT WELL
OF EARLY HAWAIIAN CHIEFS

lately experienced by all visitors from
the inhabitants of this Island; so con-
trary to the reports that have been
published in England to their great
disgrace and the inhuman conduct OF
these islanders. prior TO. the residing
of the said persons among them. There
are other Europeans &c. remaining on
the Island: but / am unaequainted
with their intentions whether directed

Saturday. he learned that whenever
Waipahu or Aiea strikers come to the

meetings are resumed This seems to
indicate a lack of cohesion in the
