| Summary: | Published by the Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon from 1845 to 1885, The Friend focused on temperance and Christian mission to seamen. It began as a monthly newspaper that included news from both American and English newspapers, and gradually expanded to adding announcements of upcoming events, reprints of sermons, poetry, local news, editorials, ship arrivals and departures and a listing of marriages and deaths. From 1885 through 1887, it was co-edited by the Revs. Cruzan and Oggel. The editorship then passed to Rev. Sereno Bishop, who held the post until the publication of the paper fell under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in April of 1902 where it remained until June 1954. Since then, it has continued in a different format under the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ up to the present day, making it the oldest existing newspaper in the Pacific. Note that there are some irregularities in the numbering of individual issues, so that two issues may have the same volume and number, but different dates will distinguish them.

T H E .F R J E N D 1 : . Did Gaetano or Cook discover the Sanclwich Islands 1 This is becoming one of those vexed historical questions, which may prove as difficult to decide, as who killed Cock Robin? or was there ever a William Tell ? or did _P ocahontas save Capt. Smith's life? or did Caliph Omar burn the Alexandrian Library ? We had supposed those interested in the discussion of this question, had about come to settle down upon the opin on, that these islands were seen by Spanish Navigators, in the 16th century, and perhaps visited by them, but that to Capt. Cook belonged the honor of making them known to the workL We were led tp adopt this inference from. the fact that English writers upon questions of this nature had fairly admitted the fact. Read the opinion of W. H. Rosser, author· of North Pacific Pilot, published in London, 1876, and now copied in this issue of theFRlEND. Read also, the opinion of a certain, Spaniard, who copies certain documentsfrom the Archives at Madrid, and which we also publish. This latter document was procured through the Spanish authorities in the East Indies· at the solicitation of the Minister of Foreign Relations of the Hawaiian King. We have been led to publish these doc_uments, because we could not arrive at the opinion of Mr. Gibs.on, as published in the, Nulwu, of Sept. 23d, viz.: "the endeavor to· identify this ancient imperfect Spanish discovery near the American coast with the Hawaiian Islands is absurd. The assumption has not a particle of evidence to sustain it, nor a single available fact for a foundation." Although not agreeing ·with this writer, yet we are glad that he opened the discussion of this historical question, for reading upon such subjects. is far more profitable, than very much which is served up for the perusal of the reading public. It has l~ng appeared to us quite remarkable that no English historical writer of • S2 'I' ff E authority has given to tl11s subject a most thorough investigation. It is a subject whicl we should have supposed some EngEshman would have persued, even if it requh-ed a visit to Madrid and a thorough reading of the Journals of the ::;panish Navigators of 16th century. No one doubts Cook's ability as Navigator and Explorer. He was preeminently the greatest Explorer of unknown seas, who flourished <luring the 18th century. For his fair fame, however, be most unfortunately allowed himself to be 1reated and worshipped as a f!Od. We have thought that this must be the reason why among even his own countrymen here or in England, there never could be arou::sed sufficient enthusiasm to erect a suitable and becoming monument to his name, on the spot where he so unfortunately was killed. FRIEND, OCTOBER, llS'iS, ery of the Hawaiian Islands by Spa1;1ish navigato:r:s, The author most e~plieit in regard to these surmises , enclosed, said notifications translated into the E.nghsh and French languages, obtained from t)ie archives of Spain, by order of Her Catholic ~1:aJesty. Th~se documents will satisfy you that this lo~g contes~ed discovery took place in the year _1555. These no!1fications reached me at the same time as your let~e1. I am much gratified to comply with your desire on this suhject, and I should be hap.Py to h~ve some other occasions to be agreeable to His Hawauan _Majesty and to strengthen the ties of our good relations.

To His Excellency the Mm1ster of Foreign Atlh1rs of His Hawaiian Majesty. first volume -says : " By takmg from Captain Cook the barren 'honor of the first discovery of the Sandwich Islands, I do not endea.vo1· to dimi_nish the glory he has so justly merited : '' and he continues, on page 423 : "Lieutenant Roberts, who C?nstruct~d the chart of the third voyage of the English navigator, in which are traced bis three voyages around the world and towards both poles, has preserved the Mesa group of the Chart of the Spanish Galleon, and h~s placed it with its centre 1!) 0 east of Owhyhee, and m the parallel-of the latter island. He doubtless th?ught that by preserving the group found by the Spaniards, none woulq dare dispute with the English the ~rst discovery of the Sandwich Islands. But Arrowsmith, in his General Chart, of 1790, and in bis Plan!sphere of 1794, sacrificing hill amour propre to th~ evidence, only lays down one of the two g~o~ps. Smc~ 1786, La Parouse, desirous of ascertammg 1f s?ch 1sland11 really existed to the eastward of Sandwich, passed over in the same parallel, 300 leagues from east to west, and in the whole of thi~ expanse he fou~d neither group, island, nor any sign of Ian? ~nd d~d not doubt that the island of Owhyhee, with its a1·1d mountain in the form of a table, was 'La Mesa, of the Spaniards ;" and he adds, *t page 125 : " fo the charts, at the foot of this Archipelag?, might be, written : ' Sandwich Islands, surveyed m 1778, by Captain Cook, who named them, anciently ~iscovered by the Spanish navigators.' " _Perfectly m a~cord with this opinion, and strengthenmg 1t by an evident proof, is the log of the corvettes Descubierta _anLl .Jltrevida, on their voyage from A~apul~o to :Mamlla, which manuscript is preserved m. this o~ce,. and apropos to this · case, states, at folio 25: W1th a. sea so heavy from N.

We ~hus see that the presumptive or c1rcu~stan~ial _ev1denc~ a~ to t~e true discoverer of the Sandwich Islands 1s mdub1table; having on its side the opinions of distinguished men, among whom figue countrymen of Cook himself, men who prefer justice and reason to a vain national pri~. The last obsenation to be consiclered is the difference in the dates given to the first discovery. Foreign authors say that it took place·in 1542, in the expedition commanded by General Rui Lopez de Villalobo while the Spanish Chronicles denote 1555. The latter date shoulcl be the more correct one, for Juan Gaytan wrote the narrative of the voyage of 1542 and mentions nothing respecting those Islands, whil: he gives an account of Roca Partida, (Split Rock), and Amblada, (Cloudy Island), an.d of all those he discovered on that expedition. To complete and terminate, therefore, these investigations, there is only wanting the narrative of Gaytan corresponding to the voyage in which he made that discovery thouo-h in my opinion it is not required to make clear the t;uth of this fact.
