H H It DT 11 M WHITNEY. i THE PACIFIC Commercial Advertiser. X Day Anion? Cannibals : Or Adventure of n Whaleman at the Marquesas. n. American whalcship Congress, Capt. gtraaburg, sailed from New Bedford in June, 1503, on a cruise fur' the North Pacific. After touching at Sydney, she called at Ilivaoa, or Dominique, one of the Marquesas Islands, to attain water and fresh provisions. Arriving be fore the harbor ol Puamau, Jaquarjr 13, two boat were fitted out with articles of trade, such ,s kniven, flints, hatchets and muskets, to ex- jrfiangi for what thej might wish to obtain. ; When the boats had anchored in the harbor, Lnother boat, manned with a chief and crew of fiative islanders, came off, who apr-eared erj 'riendlv and anxious to trade with the strangers, ;Uting that thej had hogs and potatoes in abun dance. Mr. Whalon, first officer of the whale bip, who had charge of the ship's boats, then raaferred his trade into the natives boat, got j and went ahoTe with them, leaving his own motored off in the harbor. . Upon landing and proceeding up the valley, the natives commenced chasing pigs, caught one and tied it- While they were chasing the ani mals through the valley, the chief and Mr. Wha lon tood together, and the natives were ehout . ing, evidently for the purpose of calling the people, for they came rushing from all parts of the valley, armed with hatchets and ' knives, which at least looked suspicious. Mr. W. fearing that they meant no good, proposed t) the chief to return to the boat ; upon which iLe latter stepped up to him', suddenly seized his hat and placed it upon his own head. This he thinks was a.well-known signal among them, for he was instantly seized by a score of natives, thrown down and stripped caked, his hands and feet bound with ropes, which the chief had in hu hands, but which he supposed were intended to tie the pigs. The natives then proceeded. . to tear up his clothes into small pieces, and cut the buttons off, making a distribution among the crowd. After thia they paid their attentions to their prisoner by pinching him severely, bending his fingers sod thumbs over the back of his hands, wrench iig his nose and torturing him in every imagina Ih way. They would strike at Ins head and limbs with their hatchets, always mining him t v a hair's breadth. For about three hours they continued to amuse themselves and torment him ia this manner. He supposes thi3 was the custom preparatory to being killed, as it doubtless is. iowt of the natives tried to entice the ship's two boats to come to the ehorei and Mr. W'b. boat steorer was on the point of landing to find him, rhen tlny were warned off by a young Marque aui girl, belonging to the family of the Hawaii an missionary Kekela. This girl shouted pull away," it being all she could Fay in English, leckoning at the same time to leave the shore. The loats returned to the ship without their offi C t. Had they gone on shore, it is not unlikely tiiit there would have been a coinbat, and all 1en massacred, as they were not prepared for i.ny attack. This same girl had tried to warn Xr. W. not to go inland with the chief, but he riiJ not understand her, and when he was seized !e used her utmost endeavors for him among the natives, weeping all the while that they were tormenting him. A Hawaiian missionary, whose name he did not learn, having heard of the trouble, now ap-' proached him, but was unable to converse with hioi. S)on after a German carpenter arrived, and being unable to release him, told him he would remain by and do what be could to save him. At night the natives piacea meir prisonsr in the house of a chiefess who had tried unceasingly to secure his release from the chief, and no doubt her efforts alone saved him from death during the day. The German remained by him through the night, which to the prisoner vm a long and dreary one, anticipating as he did every moment that the natives would break into the house, ana carry out their design of murdering him. He afterwards learned, that aceordinrr to the native customs, the house of a chief L sacred, and no native can enter it with out permission, under pril of death. Morning dawned, and the natives began to reassemble and bme noisy for their victim. All his hopes : of relief had now fled, and he began to look for j death as certain, as the chiefesa would soon be called on to release him. About thin time, which 1 as early in the morning, the German heard the : natives speaking of the arrival of the Hawaii r an missionaries, Mr. Kekela and wife, in the neighborhood. Upon hearing this, the German diatched the other Hawaiian for him, and the natives finding that Kekela had been sent for, hastily untied the hands and feet of their pri.oner. Kekela and his wife are Hawaiian mission aries, gent OUf from tne Sandwich Islands, and upported by the Hawaiians. They live in a neighboring valley, but at the time of the capture of Mr. Whalon, were on a visit to ; another island. Kekela soon arrived with the chief under whose protection he lives, and in : tantly commenced remonstrating with the natives for their inhuman treatment, and be - sought them to release" him. They demanded a ransom a3 the only terms for his release. After a council among themselves they decided release him for a ichaleboat and six oars, f npon which Kekela told them to take his r-ut. At this oSr. huwwer. Kekela's chief 110 demurred, as this would deprive their settlement of their only boat. The discussion now waxed warm between the two chiefs, during which Kekela declared that he was ready to give up anything and everything he possessed, if he could but save the foreigner's life an instance of di.-interefeted philanthropy, which the annals of missions can not equal. After some further parley, it was agreed to give a musket and some other trade in exchange lor Mr. Whalon, which was immediately done, and he was led beyond the boundary which separated the do main of the two chiefs, and across which to recapture a person would lead to open warfare between the two tribes. Mr. W. hesitated when they wished to lead him farther inland, as lie did not know what the new chief intended to do with him'; but upon being assured by Kekela that he was to go to his own house, where he would take care of him, he gladly went. Upon arriving there, Mr. Whalon was aston ished to find a pleasant airy cottage, furnished in a neat and tasty manner, much alter the style of a New England farm house, surrounded by a garden where flowers, trees and vegetables greV abundantly . The boats had returned to the ship on the previous afternoon, when warned off by the Marquesan girl. Thursday and Friday, Mr. Whalou remained with Mr. Kekela and wife, during which time he was a witness of thd daily. routine of a Hawffiiun missionary's house. Morning and evening a bell was rung for prayers, which were attended by about fifteen natives, male and female, who seemed quite orderly and attentive to the exercises. Meals were served at a table after the European style, and consisted of meats, sweet potatoes, and bread fruit. While here natives belonging in the same settlement brought fresh bread fruit daily for the foreigner. Mr. Kekela a.ured Mr. W. that- had the natives demanded all he had, he should have given it to release him. In conversation with Kekela regarding the progress which Christianity was making among the people, Kekela states it as his opinion that his efforts among the adults were almost useless, but that among the youth he had promise of great success, having now forty regular atten dants on divine worship on the Sabbath. Mr. Whalon bears testimony to the upright Christian character of Kekela and wife, and of the great influence which they have over the natives in their settlement. Kekela is a most industrioue man, thus setting a worthy example to the islanders. He has more land under cultivation than any other one man, and more sweet pota toes than the whole of the rest of the settlement together. They have one Marquesan girl (before mentioned) that lives with them, who fhows unmistakable evidence of improvement, being very domestic in her habits and an apt scholar. Saturday morning, Jan. 16, the ship appeared off the isdand, and Kekela and the chief made preparations to take Mr. Whalon off to her, in their own boat first sending a native ahead to see that nobody was in ambush for the purpose of shooting any of the party. Finding the coast clear, they embarked and soon reached the vessel, where they were welcomed on board by Capt. Stranburg. Mr. Whalon's emotions on reaching the ship can better be imagined than described. He had been rescued from the Bavnges and returned to rh the efforts of a native Hawai ian a stranger, who had ten prompted to act in his behalf by tho teachings of the Christian religion, of which he gave the most exemplary evidence. - During 23 years voyaging around the world, he says he has never passed through a more eventful cruise than this one, nor any where met with strangers who have won his gratitude and affection as these humble Ha waiian Missionaries, living on the Island of Ilivaoa, to whose efforts alone, he owes his life. Nothing that he could give to them could cancel the debt he owes, and he says that whenever Kekela stands in need, let him know and he shall share with him. Of course, both Capt. Stranburg and Mr. Whalon rewarded Kekela and his chief with such gifts as they had at their disposal, and they returned to the shore. Speaking of Mrs. Kekela, Mr. Whalon said he was surprised to find a native Polynesian, so courteous, kind and polite, and so well educated. Her manner and conduct at all times were lady like. It is the best commentary of the trans forming power of religion. Kekela and his wife could speak broken English, just enough to be understood, and supplied all his wants. After Mr. Whalon had been released, and escaped to Kekela's house, he inquired the cause of his seizure by the natives, and learned that it. was done out of revenge for the kidnapping of Marquesans by the Peruvians, who had stolen a cargo of men and women from this and the neighboring islands. Some of these kidnapped natives had been returned by the Peruvian Gov ernment, but many had died on the passage to or from Peru, while others had had various dis eases including the small-pox, which they brought back to the group, and was spreading over the islands. The Marquesans were so incensed with these outrages of the Peruvians, that they took vengeance on any foreigners that might fall into their power, regardless who they were. Had not Kekela been away, they would probably not have maltreated Mr. W. in the manner they did. Kekela does not live with the tribe, into whose hands he fell, and has but little influence with them. They are frequently at war with the other tribes on the island. Still he is known all over the island, and the day may come when through his teaching, wars there may be ended, and the tribes dwell together in peace, as they do on our ninre favored Hawaiian group.
