shipping in the roads of which there was something of a fleet.
Had it not been for this we might before morning have got up to
the anchorage. But the Captain being afraid of running foul of
the shipping thought it best to lie to. In about an hour after
leaving the Scbr. I was at Mr. Richards door, whose
(
fami~y
& him-
self I found at the breakfast table, to which I was immediately
welcomed. After breakfast & prayer & some time spent in conversation
I
w~nt
to Dr Chapins & looked at his house. I alio looked at Mr.
Spauldings house which is nearer Mr. Richard's the Reading Rooms.
I dined at Mr.
Richards & soon after dinner I started to
go
up
the hill but meeting Ivrr Andrews I returned with him in order to
have some conversation in company with Mr. R. on the subject of
·salaries. Soon after we had got to the house of Mr. R. we were
joined by Mr Clark from the hill.--We talked some time on the
subject of salaries--and by this time supper was brought on, to
which we all sat down--after this was over, Mr. Andrews, Clark
& myself set off for Lahainaluna & about dark reached the High
School establishment. Found the Sisters & all at the station well.
Spent the night at Mr Clark's--did not retire to rest till after
the clock had struck 12.---Friday Novr. 28th 1834. Took breakfast at Mr Claork f s-after breakfast went abroad to view the buildings, printing office,
school house, scite [sic] for the new bUildings, Mr Clarks houses
