The Cormorant was probably the pattern for the vessel called H.M.S. Tempest in Stevenson's novel The Wrecker. 15. The Cleghorn estate, situated across Kalakaua Avenue from Waikiki Beach and inland from the present Princess Kaiulani Hotel, has vanished under modern construction in Waikiki. At Cleghorn's death in 1910, his will left the grounds, to be used as a park, to the Territory of Hawaii with certain restrictions. The legislature did not accept the offer. The land was bought in 1917 and subdivided. The history of the banyan tree, planted by Cleg- horn himself, is given in Sister Martha Mary McGaw, Stevenson in Hawaii (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1950), pp. 146-147 (hereinafter given as McGaw). The tree was cut down in 1949; the bronze plaque is now treasured by the Kaiulani School on North King Street in Honolulu. Cleghorn Street and Kaiulani Street are found in Waikiki, near Tusitala Street—named for the Samoan sobriquet of R.L.S., "teller of tales." The grass shack called the Stevenson Hut on the grounds of Waioli Tea Room in Manoa Valley was purchased by a resident from the 'Ainahau Estate and given to the Salvation Army; it is a popular shrine, although Stevenson may never have stepped inside it. 16.

"The captain of the rescuing vessel first ascertained exactly what amount of money had been saved from the wreck," recalled Mrs. Stevenson; "it was just this sum, several thousand dollars—comprising all the sailors' wages as well as the entire means of the captain—that the stranger demanded as his price for carrying the miserable creatures to the nearest civilized port, where they were dumped, penniless, on the wharf. My husband and my son had been continually recurring, in their talk, to the mysterv of the Wandering Minstrel; it now struck them that they might collaborate on a novel, founded on the episode of the wreck. One fine moonlight night, the fresh trade wind blowing in their faces, the two men sat late on deck, inventing the plot of The Wrecker."

  • An Emersonian in the Sandwich Islands: the Career of Giles Waldo
    An Emersonian in the Sandwich Islands: The Career of Giles Waldo Martin K. Doudna In the spring of 1845, two young friends of Ralph Waldo Emerson embarked independently on two very different experiments that were designed to answer some of the problems they faced. One of these experiments, Henry David Thoreau's sojourn of a little over two years at Walden Pond, is well known. The other experiment, Giles Waldo's sojourn of nearly three years in the Hawaiian Islands, deserves to be better known, not only because it provides an interest- ing contrast to Thoreau's experiment but also because it sheds light on the role of consuls and merchants in the Islands in the busy 1840s.1 Giles Waldo (1815 -1849), the eighth of nine children of a farmer in Scotland, Connecticut, came from an established New England family. Like Emerson, he was a descendant of Cornelius Waldo, who had settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1654,2 and his family home—a sturdy two-story New England farmhouse built about 1715—is owned today by the Scotland Historical Society. Emerson met him in January 1843 in Washington, D. C, while there on a lecture tour and described that meeting in a letter to Caroline Sturgis, who was later to marry Waldo's close friend, William Tappan: In the Rotunda of the Capitol, in the organic heart, that is, of our fair continent, my companion brought to me a youth of kindest & gentlest manners and of a fine person, who told me he had wished to see me more than any other person in the country, & only yesterday had expressed that wish.

  • The Voyage of the Parthian: Life and Religion Aboard a 19Th-Century Ship Bound for Hawai'i
    CHARLES WILLIAM MILLER The Voyage of the Parthian: Life and Religion Aboard a 19th-century Ship Bound for Hawai'i What wonder that we so long for release from this little prison-house! —Laura Fish Judd (1828) THE CRIES OF "Land O, Land O" echoed throughout the small ship. Many passengers, both men and women, scrambled on deck, ran to the ship railings, and strained their eyes to behold, for the first time, their new home emerging from the cloudy horizon. Below deck, the excitement became too much for one passenger as her emotions got the best of her. Her screams alarmed some of those who remained in their berths, including one passenger whose recent miscarriage had kept her in bed for over a week. It was not land, however, but only "Cape-fly-away" and, as the passengers watched, their new home dis- solved before their eyes. They returned below deck sorely disap- pointed. The cry went up again that evening, "Land O, Land O," but once again, it was nothing but clouds. The following morning, all eyes searched the western horizon, with each person questioning the other, "Have you seen land yet? Have you seen land yet?" The answer always came back, "No." Land birds were sighted, but not the land. Sailors cursed, passengers prayed, and Charles William Miller teaches in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at the Uni- versity of North Dakota. He is a biblical scholar whose primary research interests focus on the importance of social location in the interpretation of biblical texts. His current project is an examination of the biblical hermeneutics of 19th century missionaries to Hawai'i.

  • Mission Stations
    Mission Stations The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), based in Boston, was founded in 1810, the first organized missionary society in the US. One hundred years later, the Board was responsible for 102-mission stations and a missionary staff of 600 in India, Ceylon, West Central Africa (Angola), South Africa and Rhodesia, Turkey, China, Japan, Micronesia, Hawaiʻi, the Philippines, North American native American tribes, and the "Papal lands" of Mexico, Spain and Austria. On October 23, 1819, the Pioneer Company of ABCFM missionaries set sail on the Thaddeus to establish the Sandwich Islands Mission (now known as Hawai‘i). Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820- 1863 - the “Missionary Period”), about 180-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawaiʻi to carry out the mission of the ABCFM in the Hawaiian Islands. One of the earliest efforts of the missionaries, who arrived in 1820, was the identification and selection of important communities (generally near ports and aliʻi residences) as “Stations” for the regional church and school centers across the Hawaiian Islands. As an example, in June 1823, William Ellis joined American Missionaries Asa Thurston, Artemas Bishop and Joseph Goodrich on a tour of the island of Hawaiʻi to investigate suitable sites for mission stations. On O‘ahu, locations at Honolulu (Kawaiahaʻo), Kāne’ohe, Waialua, Waiʻanae and ‘Ewa served as the bases for outreach work on the island. By 1850, eighteen mission stations had been established; six on Hawaiʻi, four on Maui, four on Oʻahu, three on Kauai and one on Molokai. Meeting houses were constructed at the stations, as well as throughout the district.

In the islands, tourists were drawn to Waikiki for the which led to barriers that limited the traditional practice. Although hula significantly declined, King Kalākaua David Kalākaua became king in 1874 and at his coronation on February 12, 1883 he invited several hālau (hula performances, including the famed Kodak Hula Show in 1937. broke cultural barriers by promoting public performances again.

Kalākaua’s endorsement of hula broke the barrier by revitalizing traditional practices. its significance remains deeply embedded within modern Hawaiian society. “The orientation of the territorial economy was shifting from agribusiness to new crops of tourists...Hawaiian culture- particularly Hawaiian music and hula-became valued commodities… highly politicized, for whoever brokered the presentation of Hawaiian culture would determine the development of tourism in Hawaii.” “His Coronation in 1883 and jubilee “The coronation ceremony took place at the newly Imada, Adria.

P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.
