THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MARCH 19, 18GG. V HAWAII ANDCAPTAIN COOK. . ft ib joh sotawa, n. a. r There It vivid contrast between the condition if tho fcatidwicb. Islands at the time of itieir dis covery, iu 17G8, and the jear (18(UJ) in uicn the widowed yuttn set loot, lor tlio first time, in Europe. The wild and almoet uaited Pol.vtie aiau tiibe that oa Captalu Cook'i tint Yisii wor shipped arid then blew him, are now clothed and in a better mind: though no doubt muuh re in turn to be done to til and rendar fruitful tha plants tf civilization and religion whick seized the toll to rapidly. Alraady they yield u as their blossom a lady, who, without having ever before quitted her native thores, comes anions ut with all tat prices of cultivated taste and Intellect adJ4 to the beauty Ot her natural apposition. Affable, yet truly dignitied, Queen Emma charint all those h ho appronrh her, and Is the welcome guest ol' the noblest and most educated members ot Knglisk society. The queen dowager it still young, uuder toim; and her lady-m-waltinc?, whotie commandMiff height and figure make her look older than e'je is, is two or three years the queen's luniur. Her only child died about three years since, and khe has been a widow about a year and a halt. It wits on the 18th January, 1778, that a por tion of the Arcbipulago, then naintd the Baud wich Islands, was tint discovered by CapUltis Cook, Clerke, and Gore, when traversing the South Pacific Uccon in II. M. ships JUsolution and Discovery. Out of the twelve Islands throe only appear on that occasion to have ln visited, and the ac count Riven by Cook of the Orst land approached, which he terms Atooi, conveys a favorable im pression of the inhabitants. They crowded to the nhores, and with mingled curiosity and astonishment greeted tha strangers; ultimately putting off tor the ships in canoes, and ready to commence an active tratlic willingly exchang ing pigs, fish, fowls, and sweet potatoes for nails Hud bits of iron articlet which they ap peared to value more than any others that were oilercd for their acceptance. Iudoed, it was evident that these people were not wholly unfamiliar with the metal they so highly prized, and they were aware it was a substance far better adapted to the purpose of cutting and boring tana, any tholr own country produced, and they eagerly asked for it by the names too (adze) and hamaite (knitc). JJeads and other ornaments tbey returned as oselesi, and appeared equally indifferent to a lookmg tilass which was presented to them. But they gladly accepted, though they did not know to what purpose they were to be applied, articled in earthenware, such as plates, cups, and saucers, etc., and with these they returned to the shore in order that they might examine them at their leisure. Although they at first mnmfpktod a thivish deposition, possibly under the impression that they had a light to everything they fancied, they abandoned this evil prjywnsity when made aware that their conduct was disapproved and could not be persevered in. with impunity; and it was afterwards observed with great satisfac tion that in their commercial transactions, either alongsido the ships or on shoro, the nativts never attempted to cheat, but ren dered faithlully to the dealers the articles agreed upon tor exchange. Animal food appears to have been abundant, and the value attached to iron something extraordinary, for it would appear that several small pigt were given for a eupenny nail. The strangers were received with the greatest deference, and when Captain Cook, who landed from armed boats, reached the shoro, the con gregated body of natives teil prostrate before him (thus offering a similar tribute of respect to that which they rendered to their own chiefs), and from this humble position they could only be induced to rise bv the most expressive and enecuraeinsr signs. The captain was then pre sented with a number of small pigs, and with plantain trees, much the same ceremonies being observed as he had witnessed on like occasions in other islands of the Pacific. When the offer ing was made, a long praver was recited by one individual, the rmt of the company Joining in the responses. Cook readily accepted these gifts, aad made such return as was in his power, having brought with him Irom the vessel various articles which he judged would be acceptable to the uututored inlanders. The friendliest relations being thaa established, and any timidity which might have existed on the part of the aborigines having vanished as they threw away the stones with which they had originally anned themselves they conducted Cook to an ample supply of ex cellent water, and willingly took part In snch service as was required by him, by assisting the Bailors in rolling the water casks to and fro. They were a people of a nut-brown com plexion robust and well mvla in figure; tho expression of their countenances was pleasing and open rather than s'rictly handsome, though for the niobt part they were possessed or good eyes, and tall, and had long, straight black hair. Though not remarkable for grace of form or expressiveness of feature, they seemed to be blest with kindly, frank, and cheertnl dis positions, and they manifested an innate good treedinp, which raised them in (he opinion of the navigators above the inhabitants of the neighboring islands. The dress of the women differed but little from that of the men, and consisted of a piece of cloth wrapped about the body and reaching half way down the thighs; the children were alto gether unclothed. The ornaments they wore w ere of stones, shells, bone, and polished wood. Both sexes appeared to be expert swimmers, leaving their canoes and diving beneath them .on the most trifling occasions, or joining thoir friends, though at a considerable distance. It was very common to see women with Infants at the breast jump overboard when the tart ran so high that they could not land from the canoes, and without endangering the lives of the little ones, swim sately to shore. The women managed their infants with groat affection, and the men lent their ready assistance in these tender offices the happiness resulting from these domestic ties, and many other cir cunistances, indicating a race far removed from the ordinary savage. From the obtervntiont he was enabled to make during inland journeys, and while procoeamg along the coast ot Atooi, Captain Cook calcu lated that as many as sixty villages existed In that liland, and that the population, though In sufficient to cultivate the whole of the land, was tolsrably numerous exceeding probably thirty thousand souls. The country on the northeast tide was found to rise gradually from the sea towards the loot of the mountains which occupy the ceatra of the island. Except about the villages, wood appeared to be confined to the interiar. Near the houses also were observed groves of plan tain, eagar canes, and ground cultivated for toot orops. The taro appeared to be exten sively grown in the valleya, potatoes and canes occupying the higher levels; they were planted regularly in some determinate figure, generally square or -oblong, but destitute ot enolosnres. The great quantity and superior quality ot these crops may probably be attributed quite as much to the care bestowed on agricultural parsults as to the natural fertility of the soil, which teemed to be unadapted to the bread fruit and cocoa-nut, tue few trees that were noticed not belnj in a thriving eoudlllou. - Yet. notwithstanding the skill eviueed in tillage, the Jieneral appearance ot the oountry indicated that t was capable of much more extorsive improve ment, and that, thoroughly cultivated, it would be canable of maintaining at leant three timet the number of inhabitHntsjjit then contained large tracts equally fertile apparently with tli3se occupied lying entirely mnow. Great neatness was displayed in the con stuction of their dwellings, which, though deficient in ventilation, were internally clean Mats laid upon dried grass covered the floors, and afiordod comfortable sleeping accommoda tion;' and a bench, oecupiug one eud of the apartment, contained the few vessels used for domestic purposes, which were formed from hollowed gourds. These articles were fre quently stained and polished with good effect, and wooden bowls and dishes were fouud among them as nicely wrought as it executed by the turner's lathe. Indeed, the whole of the native . niauufactiiree disulated couMdur ' iiblc tubto and ingenuity; their cloth, uoaie from the momt pavyrijtra, though in texture rather Interior to thai found in tome of the other islands ot the Pacific, was colored, or dyed, by the inhabitants of Atooi in a superior manner. Among tne articles orougnt lor ex change were tjbort cloaks and caps ehaped like helmets, made of feathera fastened Ut a groundwork of act, the designt executed in red and yellow with an effect which led Cap tain Cook to describe these articles as such as 'mirht he considered eletrant. even in oun trice where dress is more particularly at tended to." The mantles were those of ceremony, and the scarlet leathers were, furnished by. the oiuuicce 01 a Dira lonna in consiuerauie num bers in the country, and supposed to be a species ol merops, of which the tklas, dried, tut not otherwise prepared, were freely offered for sale. With these adornments the owners were at first very reluctant to part unless in exchanre for rnu-stccts, but some mantles were eventually purchased lor very large nails. Wtite mats, enino ol considerable size, and orna mented with colored atrlpea and flgnree, were made there theso probably formed occasion ally a portion of the dress as they were thrown over tho ahouldcra when offered for sale, and these were of a superior texture to those need for household purposes, which were coareo and strong. Atnjng their articles or handicraft mieht also be mentioned small fant of wicker-work, wttn handles tapering, frarn them of the same material, or of wood; these were nicely wrought with cords of hair and fibres of the cocoa-nut intermixed. The great variety ot fishing hookt were also very care fully executnd; they were met with in bone, in wood pointed with bone, and tn pearl-shell. One was procured nine Inches long, constructed out of aeincrle rii ce of bone from a lare fish. The elegance of form and beauty of finish of this Implement could hardly have been ex ceeded by the productions of a skilled European workman. Thev cooked their vegetables by baking In ovens formed of heated stones; and from the large provision prepared at the same time it was supposed that a whole village messed ogetner. Animal rooa scemea to do aressea in the same way. as the few utensils seen could hardly have been tnrncd to the purposes of stewing or boiling. Their repasU were eaten off wooden trenches tho women, who were not permitted to rhare with tha men, partaking of their tooa at we same time in a contiguous spot. Many games And amusements were popular, bnt (for the most part they displayed the skill rather than tne strength of the people. The dances were usually accompanied by the sounds of rudo nautical instruments, to which were added the vocal performances of the women, which produced a tender and pleasing effect. Yet, notwithstanding the state of semi civilization which he tound, Caplain Cook very soon suspected that the levoltlng practices of cannibalism and of bnman sacrifices were not uncommon in the Arehipelago. In this opinion he wae confirmed by various circumstances which oecarred on board as well ns by his ob servations in the villages. In the interior, and evidently connected with their worship, he found spots where human oolations bad been offered to the memory of certain chiefs. and in these pieces the taboo prevailed as in other localities ot the Pacific. What appeared to be a piece of human tlesh was on one occv sion obberved in tne nanus 01 a native wno went on board. He showed some reluctance to exhibit the contents of his parcel; but being pressed on the subject, admitted his willingness to devonr it. A still more atartling remark waa afterwards made by another individual, who, on being reqursted to desist from an lutruiive act, asked whether the punishment of disobedience would be the forfeiture of life, and that his flesh should be eaten ? A companion at the same time intimated that such would certainly be the fate of the Europeans.- should any unhappy circum- ataoce lead to an interruption of amicable rela tions, and place the two parties in the position of enemies. The favorable situation of the Hawaiian Arehi pelago as a refreshing plaee for ships waa not unnoticed by Cook, who observes that, naa these islands been known to previous navl gator?, vessels which formerly traversed the . ocean with supplies of provisions and water barely sufficient to preserve life, might here nave been secure ot procuring auon necessaries as tbey talent require, and that, too, without rnnniug the least risk of losing the voyage, the ports lying within the range ot the easterly trade winds. Bach is the account, but much abbreviated, given in Cook's voyages of the condition of tho Hawaiian Islands, and of the reception which he and his companions received from the inhabitants. We will now turn to a "History of the Archi pelago," written by native students of the school ot Lahainalula, and received by them from the lips ot sonio ot the oldest aborigines, rroin these original writings some Idea may be gleaned of the state of the country and of the Impression made on the native mind by the unexpected appearance ot the strangers. We quote from the "Mooolelo Hawaii," which has been ably translated into French by M. Jules Kemy, who resided many yean in the Islands, and enjoyed during that time many opportu nities ot acquiring the language and studying the habits ol the people. An opinion appears to prevail among tho natives that the Archipelago occupies a space where lormerly no land existed ; and tnis theory derives confirmation even from tho fabulous taleB of unenlightened ages, which ascribe their parentage to Vakea and Bapa, and tbelr rising above tho waters as the re sult of a natural birth. The physical aspect of the people Is described by themselves as similar to that of the population of the neigh boring groups: and they are ot opinion that they eprimr irom the same common stock at the natives or Xuhiti, jNuumva, ana otner islands. On this subject also there la a tradi tion, "In the period of profound ignorance the Hawaiian said: 'Men eame in the first instance to plant themselves here from the midst of the air.' iow, the laisny 01 mis assertion is known.'1 Captain Cock jecms to hnve come to an erro neous conclusion in supposing tnal his ships were the fiist that had ever visited theso shore;.: "the elders relate that in former times several vessels foundered in this Archipelago, and that otne-rs were seen in tne distance m ne opea sea which did not come to anchorage." Although their historical narratives were tra ditionally preserved, there can be little doubt that the leading circumstances ot the following recital are true: . "During the reign of Kealilokaloa, Chief of Hawaii, a vessel arrived, janaitiona was ner name, and Kukanaloa the name of the stranger who commanded it. liis sister was on board with him. "At thev steered towards the land, the ship struck at Pale de Keel, and was torn, in pieces by the breakers. The stranger and his sister reached the shcre by swimming, and were saved. . It is not well known, but it Is probable, tout the greater part of the crew perished. "The land gained, the pair prostrated them selves on tho shore, either because, they expe rienced some hesitation when they remembered their forlorn condition; that they fouud them selves in the presence of men of a different race; or that ihey were overcome by fear. Very long their prostration lasted, and on account of it the name of Kulou, a word which Dignities the act of probtration, waa given to that part of the coast. "When evenine came, the people offered them the hospitality of their hearth", and spread provisions Derore tnem, atnug mem whether thev were acnuainted with that sort ot food. They u us we red, 'We know lw-theplaut buds and produces leave'.' " 1 According to the Hawaiian history, the strnneer become the father of children by a native woman, and the ancestor of chiefs and other members of the community. The insular accounts aiso reier to a Hpannin gaueon, 'tne Hueatra fenora de (Jabadonga, on board which was found, when cantured bv Ansom. a map of a group ot ielmds which had been eeen during the vovnre, and named by the Spaniards "The ilouks," but which from the correspond ence or their geographical position, probably rcpreteutcd tho iiuwalian Archipelago. The native ik count ot the arrival of Lono fC'uPta n Cook) is us follows "it was at Yi.iiuin, in Kauai, of which Eaueo- neo and Reave were the chiefs, that Lono't shl fargtenttred the roadstead, tn the month ol January , in the year of our Lord 1778. He an chored at night, and when the day came the Inhabitants, in the presence of this wonder, meniiested their astonishment by uttering loud cries. ' ' They snid to one atnofhef. 'What la this great branched thing?' Some of them said, 'It is a forest which has slipped into the sea,' and tb excitement waa very great. 4,Then the' chiefs ordered some men to go in canoe", that tbey might properly examine this unknown visitor. They went and rescued the side of the vessel there they saw the iron which covered the exterior, and trey were in ecstaciet at the siibtof such an abundance of iron. "In tact, they wri-re previously acquainted with iron, though they had met with it bat in small quantities: here there was much more. Ihey then went on boaid, and there they saw men with white foreheads, blight eyes, and horned heads, and heard an incomprehensible language. "They thought that these men were women, on account of the resemblance In the mode of dress ing the hair at that period. They observed also that there waa a great deal of . iron on board, and they were overpowered with wonder, and t hey returned and related to the chiefs what they had seen, and spoke of the abundance of iron. On hearing this, one of the soldiers of the chief said. 'I will so and take possession of this booty, since pillage is the fi.eld of nourishment to me.' "The chiefs having consented; the soldier weat on board the vessel and carried off iron. When he did so they fired upon hian, and this man, named Kapupun, was killed. Upon this, those in the- canoes made off and returned to shore, where tbey related that Kapupuu had been killed by a gunehot. "AX, night the cannon were fired, and the'flre rote In the air; the people supposed it was a god, to whom they gave the name of Lonomakua; end they thought it well to submit. "A princess, named Kamakahelel, the mother of Eaumualii, cried out, 'Let ut not make war upon our rod it will be better to conciliate the cod, that lie may be propitiout to us.' Then Kaniakahelei gave her daughter to Lono (Cap tain Cook), as a wife. The woman's name was Lelemahnalani; she wa the elder sister of lianasnanl. .Lono cohabited with this woman, and the other strangera alto with the women if Kaaai. who prostituted themselves for iron. After that the women were seized with disease, and this dreadful evil became very common in our Hawaii. Behold the devouring gulf of this Archipelago ! Kin and death this Is what they first introduced into Hawaii. Bhaine be to those who Lrought such a curse upon us. Xono quitted Kauai for the northwest coait of America, end sorre months passed before he returned and cast anchor on the north side of Maul Hikina. He arrived within the eame year that ho bad anchored at Vamea, in Kauai, . I ... 111 . . 1. A V V. 1 -1 1 uuiurij, vu 1110 duiu ui .liuvcui vcr, it to "At the time that Lono arrived at Maui. Kalaniopuu had come from Hawaii to Maui to make war against Kahekili, and after a battle had returned to settle his forces at Vailuaiki in Koolau. 1 "They rested at night, and when thev arose at early dawn, they perceived that Lono had an chored quite near to the shore. "They obterved the form of the vessel the masts and their appurtenances and the open ings in her sides. The inhabitants were greatly astonished, and said to one another, 'This is the bearer ol the cannon, of which we have heard. They are noisy things. ' "iney nad, in iict. already learnt that the cannon was a noisy thing, for the people from Kauai had viiitcdbahu, and had related to the people of Oahu all that they knew respecting Lono. The Hawailans had Inquired what was the appearance ot the ship; he dcsciibed the masts, the sails, the flags. "Tbey then asxed what tas men were like; he replied, 'the man are white men; they have loose skint and angular heads; they are gods; they are volcanoes, for fire issues out of their mouths; their sides contain baga of treasures, bags that go down deep into their bodies. From these recesses, when they thrust in their hands, they draw forth awls, knives, iron, neck laces, nans; in snort, an Kinds 01 tntngs.' "The uawanani also asked, 'What is theis language?' Here the man stood bolt upright, put his malo by his side, a fragment of a gourd, ! l-i . . .L. I ... . 1 1 imiMiuug iub uinuucr vi iu sirangers, men drawing the broken calabash from his side, said. 'This is the way they speak; A hikapaWe, hika. jtalale, heoluat, oaiahi, v&lavalal:i, vaika,poha, aionaitahu-i, aiona naenae aiona ha oaluiit. aloha Jet keiki aloha ka hale.' "This man had described the strangers before the arrival of Lono at Maui. When they saw the vessel and its equipments tbey found that it answered exactly to the description that he had given them. "Then Kamehamcha went on board the ship. When the evening cauie, the vessel hoisted sail and disappeared, and Kamehameha passed the night on board. The inhabitants thought that the strangers had carried Kamehameha off to a strange country. They regretted him, and be wailed his loss in concert with Kalaniopuu. "iiut wnen tne morning ciimo the vessel brought Kamehameha back, and he leant on shore. Then they went away again, and on this occasion saueu towards 11a wan. "Having quilted Maui, Lona made for the coast of Kohala in the island ot Hawaii; it was on the 2d of December that he arrived there, and the mountains were covered with snow. The spot where he cast anchor was near to Kukuipahu. The natives hastened to look at the vc&k'Oi, and they observed that the foreigners were at their meals. Then they cr:ed out: Truly, these are gods I Behold, they are eating human flesh, and fire burns in their mouth.' At this place Lono purchased pigs a pig bclug flven In exchange for an iron hoop, which would e nseful to convert into hatchets and fish-hooks. "Lono sailed thxnce, and on the 17th January, 1779, reached the roadstead of Kalakeakua.. The chief or the island of Hawaii at the time of the arrival of Lono was Kalaniopuu. He was, however, constantly at Maui to make war uron KahekiU. ine arrival of Lono occurred at the time when the tailing of the canoes was not permitted, on account of the annual lapu (taboo). "Bnt he being present, the people thought it proper to put the crutt to sea, as the god Lono had arrived in his ship. The idea was widely spread among them that he (Leno) waa the true Ciod, nd that hia vessel was a temple. "And the people saw the caulkers putting tow into the sides of the vessel; aud named these strangers the race ot Mokuhalii, or the con structive gods of canoes Aud seeing them with fire in their mouths they gave them tha name of Lenope (Lono volcano); and looking upon them as gods, the people hastened in crowds to adore Lono. "The women went on board in great numbers to prostitute themselves with the strangers, who gave them iron and looking-glasses; and as they examined the mirrors, the women perceived thuir owa likenesses in them, and were aston ished at their grandeur. But ttioy washed off, the qnicksilver, and the reflected images were gone, and they then much regretted being unable longer to see themselves. 1 "The Inhabitants looked upon Lono as a coa", and accordingly rendered him a large trtbute. of adoration and praite. They brought bun offer ings of pigs, of food, 01 the stufls of the coun try, of other things, and without putting a price ur,oa anything, they presented them as they would to the gods. The priests approached him with prostrations, and then, withdrawing, they gave nirti pigs aud other matters, pronouncing at the same time long hjtr&ugues. These dis courses, which were the regular form of prayer, were uttered with extreme volubility. When Lono landed, the greater part of the natives fled, seized with terror, and those who remained prostrated ' them sehes before him in reverence: and ,h was conducted Into the house of the gods as well as into a temple, where they worshipped htm. Like Herod, Lono accepted this adoration. Any one might think that for this ain, and also for having introduced amonarst us the adulterous diseuse. Cod struck him dead. ; "Oiutbe 24th of Juuuary, Kalaniopuu returned from Maui; to prevont the women going on the water he proclaimed the kcjrn; and the strangers then landed in crowds, to give themselves up to profligacy. .'Kalaniopuu displayed generosity and kind ness towards Lono; he gave .him plumes and feather mantles. In fact, Kalaniopuu rendered him adoration. "On the 4th of February Lono departed, but when he arrived opposite Kavaihae, he obsorved that one of the masts waa split, and he returned to Kalakeakna to repair it. On the rctarn of the vessel to the anchorage, the nativea con tinned relations with him relations, however, which were leea lraquent aud intimate than before. "The Intrlgnea of the forelgnere with the wo men had lasted a long time, and some ot them weie much taken with the visitors; in conse quence of which the islanders were very augry. "Winn the inhabitants began to manifest opposition, the strangers were not backward in using their guns; besides which, they took pessession of the canoe ot a chief named Palta; who, in consequence ot hit resistance to this act, fell atruck by a blow from an oar. Upon this bia men fought with lenewed strength, and commenced throw ing stones. At length Palca aroso, and, afraid of being killed by Lono, caused the struggle to erase. "gome little time after Falea stole a boat from the vessel. To this act of robbery he was probably instigated by revenge; but hit greeainess for iron might have led him into wrongdoing. This, however, waa the immedi ate cause 01 contention. "Lono commanded the chief to seek for the boat, and to restore it to the vessel; this, how ever, it was Impossible to do, as It had been broken up tor the sake of the iron. "Lono and bl men, armed with guns, landed, that they might take possession of tho chief, with the idea of taking him on board to remain until the boat was recovered. "At the time Lono landed to take Kalanlopnn, Kekuhaupio was bustcning from Kui to Kaava loa, and another chict arrived at the same time in a canoe. 'Those who were left on board fired, and the chief named Kalimu was killed on the spot, and Kekuhaupio, who had witnessed his death, hurried to land, aud it was he who pre vented Kalaniopuu from going on board. "When the people found that a chief had been killed, they raised the war-crv; a man at that moment approached Lono, with a wooden knife in his hand. Lono was afraid, and fired, and Irom that moment tho combat began. "Lono then draw hie sword aad struck a chief, who vigorously laid bold ot him m re turn, bnt with the view rather of impeding his action than of killing him. "Indeed, he shared the popular opinion that Lono, being a god, could net die. But when he nttered a cry of anguish in' falling, Kalaimano kahoovaha discovered that he was but mortal. From the moment that he ceased to believe in the diviuity of Lono, he did nut hesitate abont striking him; and he uied immediately irom the effect of a blew tteall by the chief. "Upen this the strangers who remained in the vessel discharged their artillery, and many met their death In consequence. The natives had not the same weapons, and they vainly sought to protect themselves from them. The cannon on board redoubled their fire, and many people Were slaughtered. "After that Kalaniopuu, with the people and the chiefs, fled inland, carrying off with them the bodiea of Lono and of "four other strangers who lay dead at his side; and they reached the summit of the precipice of Kaavaloa. "There Kalaninpuu offend up Lono as a sacri fice; and when the rites were concluded, the flesh waa stripped from the bonca; and the bones, the palms of the hands, and the entrails, were preserved. , "And the flesh waa consumed with fire. The entrails of Lono were eaten by some children, who took them by mistake for those of a dog, and thus it came about that they ate them. A portion of the bones were car ried back on board the vessel and the remainder were kept by the priestt and worshipped. "On the I3d of February the vessel left Kaavaloa, and on the 29th of the same month reached Kauai; from Kauai the sailed for Kilhan, and on the 15th of March disappeared altogether." .
