Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes in Hawaii, or Life in the Sandwich Islands As I have been induced by kind friends to give publicity in this form to my notes and observations while on my journey to Hawaii and stay there, I must ask them and others who may care to read them, to be lenient in criticism, and to remem ber my only wish is to interest by telling them a little of this small Kingdom in the Pacific, generally known only as the most encouraging exemplification of the noble efforts of missionaries to civilize and christianize a savage and voluptuous race. Alas, for this, the finest example of self-sacrificing men and women, for the boast is, sad to say only a boast; and alas, as the group of Islands which Captain Cook discoveredtin 1776 - and on one of which, Hawaii - he was murdered on his second visit in 1778, at Kealakekua Bay.

Captain Clark, who succeeded Cook in command, landed a body of mariners, slew many natives and burned their huts to the ground. Hostilities ceased on the condition that Cook's remains be returned, which being done, they were buried in the placid waters of Kalakakua Bay, February 21, 1779.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kohala of Hawaii: A Story of the Sandwich Islands Revolution No Alien land in all the world has so strong an attraction, so profound a charm for the American who has trod its emerald shores, as beautiful "Hawaii" - the native, and hence the proper, name for what Captain Cook, their discoverer, called the "Sandwich Islands." Sleeping or waking, how lovingly its beauties haunt me as I, fresh from its ever-blooming gardens and ever-burning volcanoes, sit down to write, from a heart that is full of it, the story of the last great drama enacted in that fair land, for whose possession the maritime nations of the world are intriguing to-day. Chapter I. The Paradise Of The Pacific. Two Miles back from the capital city of Honolulu there rises an extinct volcano, known far and near as the "Punch Bowl," and accessible from the town by a fine road.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in the Sandwich Islands: Or the Heart of the Pacific, as It Was and Is We call this book The Heart of the Pacific, for two reasons: first, because the Sandwich or Hawaiian Islands, which form its subject-matter, hold about the same relation to other parts of the Pacific as the heart does to the rest of the human body. Second, because these Islands bid fair to become the religious Protestant Heart of the great Ocean, whose pulsations at different times we have herein marked and interpreted. Although independent and whole of itself, it has a connection which will be seen with The Island-World of the Pacific. The writer believes it may fulfil a useful part, in directing the general interest now felt in the young Island-Kingdom of Hawaii. The perpetuity of the pure Hawaiian race there is daily becoming more and more doubtful. But, as it has been remarked of New Zealand, the natives, though melting away, are not lost. They are emerging into another and a. better class. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paradise of the Pacific: Sketches of Hawaiian Scenery and Life I should like to tell you how I got into bed beneath the mosquito curtain, an immense bridal-veil sort of thing which effectually screens you, if (and there is much virtue in an if') you can get in without admitting the blood suckers. Unhappily, mosquitoes are like Sunday School children, very skilful at getting in to treats without a ticket, so in the darksomeness of the night, when the light is out and you are in, you may often hear the shrill blare which proclaims your enemy watchful at your pillow, and then - get him out if you can! Oh, sleep! Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep, ' in such dire case we may woo thee well and yet in vain. But there is always some drawback everywhere, and after all, mosquitoes, I am told, rarely trouble you for more than a month, after which you become in their eyes a squeezed lemon, or a well drawn dry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sandwich Island: Notes It is with feelings of much diffidence I submit the following pages to a perusal by the public, hut it is with the hope that the object at which they aim will be speedily accomplished. Several pamphlets and volumes have already been issued from the press, concerning that most important of all the groups that stud the vast Pacific-the Sandwich Islands. But these facts have not deterred me from making my own observations, and employing my own language. If the present condition of affairs at the Hawaiian Islands augur any thing, there can not but be a good prospect that they will soon form an integral portion of the United States. They are absolutely essential to the protection and advancement of American commerce, and whoever owns them will be master of the Pacific. I have endeavored to portray the condition of things as they appeared to me in 1853, and my only aim has been impartiality, independent of all party consideration. I have taken especial pains to develop the past and present condition of the people, in their various relations, and have endeavored to specify a few reasons for the "annexation" of that important group of islands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sandwich Island as They Are, Not as They Should Be My only excuse for giving these hasty sketches to the public must be, the thousand questions I am daily asked regarding the Sandwich Islands, since my return from them, and the general desire manifested by the community, just at this time, to know something definite of their past and present history. I have been stimulated also by a sense of duty to society, to expose the monstrous deception which has so long imposed upon the world, and especially upon those whose truthfulness and purity would prevent a suspicion of duplicity in others. At least, I trust an investigation may be the result of these developments, which ought long since to have been made by a bolder and more skilful hand than my own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Summer in Hawaii Being told they were the Sandwich, or Hawaiian Islands as they are now called, in the mid-pacific Ocean, more than two thousand one hundred miles distant, I was startled at the flippant suggestion of the Occidentals to whom time and space seemed as nothing. To cross the Atlant1c had always seemed to me to be a grave undertak ing, but here I was seriously advised to pack my satchel and run down two thousand miles into the Pacific, as if for a day's outing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Log of the Brig. Hope, Called the Hope's Track: Among the Sandwich Islands, May 20-Oct; 12, 1791 Joseph Ingraham was made second mate of the Cc lumbia under Captain Kendrick, and first visited Ha waii, in the' Columbia, in 1789. He kept a journal of the voyage, which unfortunately has been lost. It contained a very complete description of Hawaii and its inhabitants and would throw much light on the his tory of the islands at that period. In July, 17 89, Kendrick and Gray changed ships at Nootka, and on July 30 the Columbia sailed from Van couver Island for China, by way of Hawaii. A stop was made at Hawaii for provisions, where Atto, the son of a chief, boarded the Columbia for a visit to Amer ica. On the return to Boston, Ingraham left the ship, deciding to embark on ventures of his own in the Pa cific. Soon after this he was made commander of the brig Hope. Ingraham had a brother who was also trading in the Pacific at this time, but we have no information regarding him.
