There is either a defect in the laws of the
United States in regard lo foreign seamen
shipped on board whaleships, or there is a
wrong interpretation of those laws. In the
application and practical working of those
laws, upon a fair estimate, nearly, if not
more, than one half of those serving on
board American whalcships as. seamen, are
thrown outside of the pale of relief in case
they are sick and disabled. The laws as
now interpreted, do not allow relief to be
administered by the consul to foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports to be discharged
in foreign ports. Any one acquainted with
the character of the crews of whaleships,
will readily see that this ruling of the U. S.
Consul shuts out all Polynesians (or kanakas,) and a vast number of Portuguese seamen. These two classes, Polynesian and
Portuguese, will make up good one half of
the seamen on board the sixty or seventy
ships touching at Honolulu this fall.
We make the statement without fear of
contradiction, that the successful prosecution
of the American whale fishery in this ocean,
is absolutely dependent upon these men—
these foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports,
and to be discharged in ports foreign to the
United States. This whole matter of shipping and discharging seamen attached to
American whaleships, has undergone a revolution during the last few years. When
whaleships leave New Bedford and other

never stepped upon American soil and never
expect to go thither. These men are however toiling and spending their lives under
the American Flag, but without enjoying
the relief of American seamen, when sick
and disabled.
The result is that many seamen are turned
away from U. S. Consulate, and compelled
to seek relief from the community at large,
who should be in the U. S. Hospital. Persons of this description are now in Honolulu.
Mrs. Crabb, at the Sailors' Home, and the
Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society, of Honolulu, come in to assist the U. S. Government
to support sick and disabled seamen. Cases
are constantly occurring in Honolulu, wherein
the U. S. Government ought to furnish
relief, but we are told, according to instructions from Washington, relief cannot be
afforded. Now, we say, there is a screw
loose somewhere ; " in the mean time the U.
S. Government, with a revenue of $500,-000,000, is receiving charitable contributions
from the ladies of Honolulu, to keep in a
nourishing condition the Whale Fishery,
about which there is so much boasting. It
would not perhaps be modest on our part to
point out to U. S. officials their duty, but we
do think, for decency and humanity's sake,
they had better write to Washington for new

Perhaps the newly appointed
Consul—General Smith—will come with
proper instructions. The only justand proper method of disposing of this troublesome
and perplexing affair, is simply to protect
and relieve all seamen alike who sail under
our flag. Not only should the Flag protect
but relieve the American and foreigner alike.
They toil and endanger their lives together,
to enrich our countrymen and extend our

keep a good lookout, and carefully observe
your pilot's directions, you will, without fail,
make a prosperous voyage, and reach the
Port of Heaven in safety. It may not, however, be amiss to give you a few hints respecting the first part of your course.
If you examine your chart, you will, find
put down, not far from the latitude in which
you now are, a most dangerous Rock, called
the Rock of Intemperance, or Drunkard's
Rock. This rock, on which there is a high
beacon, is almost white with the bones of
poor sailors who have been cast away upon
it. You must be careful to give this rock a
good berth, for there is a very strong current
setting towards it. If you once get into that
current, you will find it very difficult getting
out again, and will be almost sure to strike
and go to pieces. You will often find a
parcel of wreckers round this rock, who will
try to persuade you that it is not dangerous,
arid that there is no current. But take care
how you believe them. Their only object
is plunder.
Not far from this terrible rock, you will
find marked a whirlpool, almost equally
dangerous, called the .Whirlpool of Bad
Company. Indeed, this whirlpool often
throws vessels upon the Drunkard's Rock,
as it hurries them round. It lies just outside
the Gulf of Perdition, and everything which
it swallows up is thrown into that Gulf. It
is surrounded by several little eddies, which
often draw mariners into it before they know
where they are. Keep a good look out,
then, for these eddies, and steer wide of this
whirlpool, for it has swallowed up more sailors than ever the sea did. In fact, it is a
complete Hell Gate.
Besides this whirlpool and rock, there are
several shoals laid down ; n your chart, which
I cannot now stay to describe. Indeed, these
seas are full of them, which makes sailing
here extremely dangerous. If you will be
sure to shun them all, and to keep clear of
the terrible gulf already mentioned, you
must immediately go about, make a signal
for a pilot, and steer for the Straits of Repentance, which you will then see right
ahead. These Straits, which are very narrow, form the only passage out of the dangerous seas you have been navigating into
the great Pacific Ocean, sometimes called
the Safe Sea, or Sea of Salvation, on the
further shore of which lies your port. It is
not very pleasant passing these Straits, and
therefore many navigators have tried hard
to find another passage. Indeed, some, who
pretend to be pilots, will tell you there is
another; but they are wrong, for the great
Master Pilot himself has declared that every
one who does not pass the Straits of Repentance will certainly be lost.
As you pass these Straits, the spacious
Bay of Faith will begin to open, on the right
hand side of which you will see a high hill,
called Mount Calvary. On the top of this
hill stands a Light House, in the form of a
cross, which by night is completely illuminated from top to bottom, and by day sends
up a pillar of smoke, like a white cloud. It
stands so high, that unless you deviate from
the course laid down in your chart, you will
never lose sight of it in any succeeding part
of your voyage. At the foo#t of this Light
House you will find the Pilot I have so often
mentioned, waiting for you. You must by

Probably this name was
chosen from viewing the broad table lands
of Hawaii. We learn these facts from a
communication recently published in the
Hawaiian Gazette, and written to His Majesty's Foreign Minister, by the Governor of
Guam, or by an officer of the Spanish Government at Madrid, Spain, who was ordered
by the Spanish Government to search the
archives of the Colonial department and ascertain all that could be found out upon the
subject. The name of the discoverer was
Juan Gaetano, or Gaytan. What however
appears most strange to us, is the fact that
during those two hundred and twenty-three
years, these islands should not have been
repeatedly visited by Spanish galleons,
freighted with treasure and passing from
Acapulco, in Mexico, to the East Indie?.

This year the number will not probably be

With due regard to His Majesty's native
subjects, we cannot see how his officers can
allow Hawaiian* thus to ship in American
vessels. According to the U. S. Laws, as
interpreted by U. S. Consuls at these islands,
these Hawaiian seamen are not entitled to

adverse currents, or hidden reefs, or low

THE V X I X N I». DECEMBER, 1866.
A Skkknadk. —< )n the evening of Nov. 3, the choir
of the Chapel of Kuwaiahao, consisting; of some
fifteen native Hawaiian young men, la three boats,
serenaded the officers and crew of the U. S. Ship
Vmulerliill. The music was vocal and instrumental, and said by those who heard it to be very fine.
The pieces sung were mostly familiar American
and English aire, but none were better perlormed
than the stirring songs of the late war. When informed that the setenaders were native Hawaiian, the officers could hardly believe that such
mimic and good English pronunciation were possible from them. One of the sailors belonging
to the ship has handed in the following, composed
after the serenade:
Our Sercundc.

List! oh list! my island friends,

To you my lays I'll tune,
Who sweetly sang to us last night,
Beneath the midnight moon.
In accents sweet and notes so mild,
That fell as soft as snow
t'pun Mm cool and fragrant air,
You sang, from boats below.
Our ears the tender strains did catch,
Our griefs were soon allayed
Forgot our duties and our cares,
With joy our brcusts were awayed.
The hammock too, soon lost its charms,
And sleep its balmy power,
Wh"n list'ning to those dubet tonea,
Those songs at night's still hour.
Merrily lollowed tune after tune,
Harmonious with the breakers' roar,
Full—measured and melodeous,
While lying on the oar.
Too soon the silvery hum-did cease,
Of music's gentle strain,
Come in the cool soft evening hours
And sing those songs again.

" THE

RESURRECTION."

Two thousand years ago a flower
Bloomed lightly in a lar-otfliinil ;
Two thousand years ago its reed
Was placed within a dead man's hand.
Before the Saviour came to earth,
That man bad lived ami loved and did.
And even in that far-olf time
The lower had spread its perfume wide.
Suns rose and set, years came and went,
The dead band kept its treasure well;
Nations were born and turned to ilnsl.
While life was bidden in that shell.
The shriveled hand is robbed at. last,
The reed is buried in the earth ;
When lo! the life—long hidden there—
Into a glorious flower burst forth.
Just such a plant as that which grew
Krom such a reed when buried low ;
Just such a flower in Egypt bloomed
And died two thousand psora ogol
And will not He who watched the reed
And kept the life within the shell.
When those He lovos are laid to rest.
Watch o'er their buried dust'as well?
And will He not from 'neath tin; sod
Cause something glorious to arise?
Aye, (bough it sleep too thousand years,
Yet all that buried dust shall arise.
Just such a face lis greets you now.
.liisl such a form as here we wear.
Only mure glorious far. will rise
To meet the Saviour In the air.
Then will I lay nte down in peace.
When called to leave this vale of tears.
Kor in mjf flesh shall I see God,"
Even though I sleep tvo Ototuand years.

It is a singular but noteworthy fact that laborer! are now going forth from China, to
cultivate the sugarcane in Havana, Mauritius, Sandwich Islands, and many other
parts of the tropics ; to load the guano vessels at the Chincha islands ; to dig in the
mines of California and Australia ; and to
labor as domestics in many other parts of
the world. They are a thrifty and industrious people, but intensely wedded to their
ancient customs. They are a people essentially idolatrous in their religious opinions
and by no means inclined to change their
views and opinions upon religious subjects.

shows that he is but partially posted up
in regard to one of the most remarkable
people on our globe. The book now before
us appears to be exactly the one which
ought to go into general circulation. It is
quite impossible to treat this people justly
and fairly unless their customs and habits
are duly considered and carefully pondered.
This is a book for the judge, the planter,
the Missionary and Editor, on the Sandwich Islands, to read. The Chinese are
already here and thousands more are destined to come hither. We doubt not many
hundreds of little children born in China,
and now picking tea-leaves or living on the
rivers of China, will find their graves on
Hawaiian shores. At a lute Monthly Concert at Fort Street Church, as well as on
other occasions, we have heard remarks indi-

cating that it was most discouraging to labor
for the enlightenment of the Chinese. Our
Missionaries in China have also found it no
easy matter to teach the Chinese the tenets
of the Christian's faith, but yet they are not
discouraged. We think our readers will be
interested in the following paragraphs :—

The first Protestant Mission at Fuhchau

was established by a missionary of the
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in January, 1847. The Mission has averaged three or four tamilies since
its commencement. In April, 1856, occurred
the first baptism of a Chinaman at this city

and has not averaged two families. Its

chapels, located on South and Back Streets,
two of the most important streets in the city.

Notice to Shipmasters, Officers and
Seamen.—Of late years you have contributed but a very few dollars to the support of the Bethel in Honolulu. The expense principally has fallen upon the residents of this city. Have you no interest in
this affair ? Very soon the Chaplain must
expend several hundred dollars for painting
and general repairs. Will you not, before
leaving port, contribute your share ? Five
or ten dollars from each Captain; two, three
or five dollars from each officer, and one, or
even a half dollar, from each sailor, will
help the Chaplain exceedingly at the present
time.

Dr. Hillebrand's Report, upon the
coolie trade, is worthy of an attentive perusal. It is published in the Gazette of to-day.
