kauai IN EARLY
MISSION DAYS
By j. NJ. Lydgate

By u. NJ. Lydgate
The near-at-hand Hawaiian Mis-
sions Centennial suggests the fit
ness of looking into our own back
history, of a hundred years ago,
that we may understand and ap-
preciate the part that Kauai play
ed in those great formative events.
Prince Sent Abroad for Education
About 1906, Kaumu-alii, King
of Kauai, had sent his son George,
when a lad of nine years, to Amer
lea to be educated. He entrusted
him to the hands of one of the sea
captains who frequently visited
Kauai, and gave him the necessary
funds for the proper care and edu-
cation of the lad on his arrival in
New England.
Unfortunately the captain died
shortly after his arrival at home,
and these funds were swallowed
ND in the wreck of his estate.
The boy George, thrown on his
own resources, and the charity of
chance friends, wandered about
from place to place, and finally en-
listed in the American navy. On
his discharge at the close of the
war of 1912, he was discovered at
the navy yard at Charlestown,
Mass, identified as the son of Ka-
umualii, and removed to Cornwall
for education, in company with a
few other Hawaiian youth, who
had been brought back by traders
from their Pacific voyages.
The PrOdigaPs Return
On the embarkation of the first
missionary party for the Islands,
this George accompanied them as
an Independent passenger, and
when the missionaries arrived at
the Islands it was a first duty, as
we'll as a promising privilege, to
restore George to his royal father.
Accordingly, with as little delay
as possible, Messrs. Whitney and
Ruggles, of the missionary party,
accompanied by George Kaumu-
ALI, or George Mume-hume, as he
was more familiarly known, set
sail for Kauai with Captain Blan-
chard, of the Thaddeus.
Kaumu-aii Kills the Fatted Calf
Arriving at Waimea they were
received by Kaumu-alii with every
evidence of satisfaction and graft
tude, sentiments which found ex-
preston in a most cordial RECEIPT
ion of the missionaries, and a
bOuntiful largess of supplies for
the vessel, consisting of fifty large
hogs, and a generous supply of
yams, sweet potatoes, sugar cane,
cOcOanuts, etc. In addition he i'm
posed on Captain Blanchard, by
way of passage money, a gift of
sandalwOOd to the value of $1,000.
To his long lost son, whom he
had not seen for fifteen years, he
gave the Waimea Valley as an
estate, and conferred on him rank
second only to his own.
Wants To Keep the Missionaries
He was so anxious to retain the
missionaries that he offered to give
them lands, and build houses,
schools and churches for them. He
promised to have the people learn
to keep the Sabbath, and pray, and
do whatever the missionaries
wanted. So anxious were the
King and Queen to have the mis-
siOnaries remain, and so fearful
that they might not, that they
could not sleep, we are told; and
SO anxious were they to learn to
read, or perhaps to seem to, that,
while they could not surrender
their favOrite recreation of surfing
and swimming, they might be seen
standing in the river up to their
