| 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. )leiu ~cries, ~ol. 25, Jcr. fi I HONOLULU, ~JAY 9, 1876.

A TRIP T~ THE CENTENNIAL.- No. 1. Passage t'rom Honolulu to San Franelseo. We are now four days from Honolulu , having passed out of the region of the trade winds into a smooth sea, and are expecting soon to catch the westerly winds, which will, with the aid of steam, cany us rapidly · forward to San Francisco. Thus far we have glided along with but little to break the monotony of ordinary sea-life. Those afllicted with sea-sickness have been gradually making their appearance on deck and at the table, until now all the ship-company of passengers, numbering about two hundred , are scattered about reading, sewing, chatting, walking and therwise whiling away the hours of as mild and pleasant a morning as ever dawned upon the Pacific. The spa cious upper deck is protected by an awning, and a more cheerful company of sea-goers could not be found on the ocean. Coneet·t on the Sea. Last evening nearly all the passengers1adies, gentlemen and children were gather~ ed in the spacious dining saloon to listen to amateur performers, who sung H Sweet Home," "Nellie Grey," "1 have lost my child," anc:l. various other songs to the great entertainment of all the listeners. Everything passed off in a r~markably quiet and becoming style, and report says we are to be favored with another similar performance before ar~ riving at San Francisco. Olll' Captain. Much of the pleasure of our passage is due to the urbanity and kindness of Captain Caverly. He is uniformly pleasant and glides about among his passengers with a kind word to each and all, but especially to those who are afllicted with sea-sickness and need a little extra attendance. A more thoughtful and considerate commander I never sailed with. Perhaps I have special reasons for speaking well of him , for the first evening on board he gave direction to 'I' H F~ the head steward to see that my state-room was well served, 14 for the inmate twenty-seven years ago invited me to the Sabbath school at he Bethel in Honolulu!" It was pleasant to learn that during th i::; long period of more tha.n a quarter of a century, ,, a little deed of . kindnPss '' had not been forgotten by one ,Yhose home has been almo~t constantly upon the sea. Capt. Caverly inform~ me that he has ma<le SL voyages from San Francisco to Panama, or 162 passages; fif. teen trips from Sa.n Francisco to China, an<l doubled Cape Horn also fifteen ttmes, besides voyaging in other parts of the world.

To attain this important result has required years of trial, experiment and negotiation, but throughout these years of apparent failures and successes, there has been one man whose mind having planned the enterprise has controlled to a certain extent the whole undertaking. H. H. Hall, Esq., has been the man who has never given up the idea that the enterprise would prove a success. Whatever may come hereafter and whoever may carry forward the scheme and reap the golden harvest the name of Hall will be ever i assor.iated with the commencement and I early progress of this gigantic enterprise, Our Passengt'J'S, WP- have besides the forty coming on completing the circumnavigation of the globe Loard at Honolulu, over one hundred from by steamships via Australia.

Hall, for Cbina, wlH>.rP. they successfully inaugu0 rated the steamboat enterprise, hence our readers need not be surprised that Mr. H. should be found among the noted steamship constructors and builders on the Clydeplanning the Zealandia and Australia. " Excelsior " appears to be his motto, and he confidently hopes to see inaugurated and successfully carried out the cir-citlar line of Pac{fic steaniers,-starting from San Franeisco, touching at Yokohama, Hongkong, Manila, Sydney, New Zealand and Honolulu, and returning to San Francisco, while steamships starting from the same port, go~ ing the other way, return via Honolulu, New Zealand, Sydney, Manila, Hongkong and Yokohama. The man initiating such undertakings surely merits the esteem and respect of the passing age. " G1·anada lUinstrels," Thursday evening, April 6th, the sailors and waiters gave us an amusing entertain• ment after the style of '' Christy." There was no mistaking- that the "broad farce '' element predominated. Since the performance I observe on the ship's bulletin a notice to the effect that some of the passengers presented the amateur performers with a purse of £7 or $35 1 which they have donated to the "Sailors' Relief Fund " of San Francisco. Sabbath at Sea. On· Sabbath morning, April 9th, nearly all the passengers assembled in the dining saloon, where we held divine service. The ladies, includjng Mrs. Stone, Miss Stone, Mrs. Hall and others, furnished excellent singing. We arrived safely after a passage of eight and a hn If days. Of course our first inquiry was relating to the ·• treaty," and we were assured that the ll'IJeJt.ing Bu,llet-in would unquestionably announce the final passage of the same by a large majority. Judge then of our utter surprise to read the tele• graphic announcement that the treaty was postponed indefinitely by the minority taking advantage of the absence of the friends of the treaty from the hall. It fills my mind with sadness that the next mail will take this notice to Honolulu. 1 can only express the hope that the subject may again be taken up and meet with a more favorable issue. There is a. curiosity of literature in England called" 'l'he w·ordless Book," so called, because, after the title-page, it contains not a single word. It is a religious allegory, devised it is said by an evangelical enthu~ siast, and the thought is in the symbolical rolor of its leaves, of which two are black, two rose-red, two pure white, two gold. The black symbolizes the unregenerate heart of man; the red the blessed redemp~ tion the white the purity of the soul " washed in the blood of the Lamb;'' thegold the radiant joys of eterna! felicity. ,, 1'HE FRIEND, lUAf, l87fL 35 was followed by the large congregation life, this soul-life.

The interest with which we anticipated tbe coming of Mr. Lathrop's poems, 15timu: lated by many and favorable criticisms in American journals, has been fully equalled by the rare pleasure we have experienced of late in their perusal. Though the haze of distance and years of absence may have dimmed the poet's memories of his early borne, while the land of his adoption has become the land of his hope and love, yet there has been an added charm for us in the music of his verses, springing from tbe thought that his birth was among us, that here first he looked with the eager eyes of boyhood on the beauties and mysteries of that outer world of which he has become so graceful and sincere an interpreter and revealer. We feel a nearness to the singer in the song, a kinship of desire and longing by reason of our common birth-right of soil and air, of sun and sky. Thus early would \\e lay claim to the new bard, so that in coming days, if cities battle for the glory of calling him son, our plea may not be disregarded. Tennyson's verse·, '"The poet in a gold~clime wa.i horn," may then not inappropriately be said of one cradled on our shores of "deathless summer." It has ever been a favorite theory of ours that these sun lends of the Pacific had in them the seed of poetry and poets and we may be pardoned the fancy that this new climber "Upon the enchanted ladder of his rhymes" unconsciously drew with his . earliest breath the first inspiration of his poetic purpose from the silent influences at work about him. We trust at least that .Mr. Lathrop may be the:-: leader of a band, the key-note of whose songs shall be found in the murmur of out ocean waves and in the music of our winds. Believing that there are always those who can discern flaws in the choicest workmanship, we have allowed ourselves simply to enjoy to the full the sweet, pure, melodious utterances contained in tp.e little volume before us. With most admirable judgment and rare taste the writer has avoided many of those faults of style and sentiment, which so frequently are the stumbling-blocks of young p~ets and while vigorous and untramelled in imagination, yet presents often times his thoughts in a setting of exquisite delicacy In the very out set Mr. Lathrop appears to us to establish his poet's right to be heard in the verses entitled MUSIC OF GROWTH. "Muslc is in all growing things; And underneath the silken wings Of smallest insects there is stirred A pulse of air that must be heard, Earth's silence lives, and throbs, and sings. If poet from the vibrant strings Of his poor heart a measure flings, Laugh not, that he no trumvet blows; It may be that Heaven hears and knows His language of low listenings." "Contentment" will come to many with the peace of a benediction: "Glad hours have been when I have eeen Life's scope and eaoh dry day's intent United; so that I could stand In silence, covering with my hand Tbe circle of the universe, Balance the blessing and the curse And trust in deeds without chagrin, Free from to-morrow and yesterday-content." But it is in the songs of nature that we see the poet at his best. 'f here is a freshness in his treatment of old themes, a rare art of ' " Moods of Love," " The Srnging Wire," " The Bather," and in two sonnets, almost painful in their intensity "A face in the Street," and "0 Wholesome Death." The very genuine success which Mr. Lathrop has achieved and at so early an age, has in it the promise of a noble future. We trust that at nt> very distant day thoughts of these Pacific Islands may tempt the poet to seek new themes and inspiration in their valleys and mountains. He will find an unwrought field but one rich in poetic resources, which, shall swiflly open to the. subtle magic CJf his touch. May not Hawf.ii yet claim him as her Laureate? There is also a tenderneiss of expression and a sympathy of insight in much that he writes, that would lead you to fancy that the secret of joy which thrills in the notes of birds Through and Through the Tropics. and dances in the sunlight had been told him. .As some one has ·lately said in Through and through the Tropics.
