Mr.. ROBINSON ATTAINED
EMlNENCE IN BUSINESS
LIFE; A GOOD CITIZEN

Mark P. Robinson was among the
citizens of part-Hawaiian blood who
attained eminence in business life. He
was born in Honolulu in 1852, making
him about SO years of age at death.
His father was an Englishman and
his mother was the daughter of Hawai-
ian and American parents. A sketch
of his career printed in Hawaiian
edition of a San Francisco CONNER
cial paper % years ago contained the
following record Of his parentage:
THE circumstances attending the
arrival OF the elder Mr.. Robinson in
these islands reads like one OF Capt
Marryatt's novels. He left England
as one of the crew of two whalers,
the Pearl and the Hermes, bound for
the whaling grounds of the South
Seas. While OF Cape Horn they
passed and spoke an American ship,
on which were the first missionaries
ever sent to the Hawaiian Islands.
Subsequently both vessels were cast
ashore during storm on coral reefs,
which to this day are known as Pearl
and Hermes from this incident, and
are so designated upon the charts.
These reefs lie about a thousand miles
west of the Hawaiian group. From
the wrecks of the two vessels the sail
ors constructed a schooner Of some
20 tons burden, which they appropri-
ately christened the Deliveranee. On
her they set sail and, after enduring
terrible privations of hunger and
thirst, they reached Honolulu, where
Mr.. Robinson settled down for the re-
mainder of his life, never again leaV-
ing the islands. He landed IN 1922
and lived until 1876, or "a years, dur.
ing which time he married Hawaiian
lady of noble blood and by industry
and enterprise accumulated a large
fortune On his death he left hand
some estate to Mark and another SON
since deceased, and six daughters. The
estate being entailed, the family now
receive a large income from its rev
enues."
In Many Enterprises.
Having received the best education
in the kingdom of Hawaii,
Mark Robinson spent his entire life
on these islands, with the exception
Of occasional trips abroad. His name
is preserved in the corporation o.
Allen & Robinson, Ltd, but he sold
his interest in the former partnership
with the late S. c. Allen in the year
1882. Other business enterprises Ii
which he was engaged were banana
raising and construction work. He
owned large banana plantations ii
the Eva district and was an active
of the fruit shipping firm o.
Campbell, Marshall & Co. Also he
was one of the principal stockholders
in the Hawaiian Construction Co.
which more than two decades ago per
formed large contract in the recla
nation of harbor lands in Honolulu.
1t was partly due to his desire &c
have better transportation of the fruit
from his plantations than the old
fashioned methods OF pack animals
and latterly a stern-whee1 steam
barge. this by the way having been
wrecked off Kalihi in a kona storm.

relieved, the children are educated and
