The chiefs pushed the boat silently ashore , where they inurilored Iho sailor. They burned the boal to obtain the nails in it , which were nlmost invalu able to them for Ihe purpose of milking fishhooks. Capl. Mctcalf oll'creil a reward for the return of the sailor's body ami any part of tlio boat. This brought to the vessel many uanooloads of natives bearing re mains of the sailor and bringing produce for purposes of trade. Many came through curiosity. Capt. Meteult gathered nil the canoes on one side of Iho ve.-ssol , and then suddenly running out the guns , loaded with grape-shot , millets , and nails , fired upon the natives , killing and mang ling over one hundred ot them. The vos' .sol then sailed to Ivarukakooa bay , in tlio island of Owhylico. At this time a small schooner of twenty-six tons , a consort of the cleaner , commanded by Capt. Metcalf's son and a crow of six mpn , lay of tlio coast of Kauaihal trading with Iho natives. The crow know nothing of the massacre which had occurred , but the natives did , and Ihey determined to have revenge. A high chief , Kainceiinokio , wont aboard the consort with several men with apparently peaceable intentions. Watching their opportunity they seized young Metcalf and throw him overboard , where he was drowned. All the sailors but onCj named Tonry Daves , wore killed with clubs. Davis was earned ashore , badly wounded , to bo burned us a sacrifice. A day later the Eleanor sailed from Karakakooa bay , accidentally loavoing on shore John Young , the boatswain. Discovering this , Capl. Melealf slopped the vessel about Iwo miles from shore , where lie wailed for two days signal- i/.ing for Young , whom llio natives re strained. Young and Davis would have been killed had it not been that Kaoanncha , a high chiefess , fell in love \yitli Young , ami , by her intercession with the king , saved tlio lives of both sailors. Kavanlha was Iho most beautiful woman on tlio island of Owhvhco , anr was the admira tion of all the sailors who visited Khrknkooii hay. She was the only daughlher of Koliimaiki , llio favorite brother of the great king , Kiimoluimchu John Young and Kaoivnacha wcro soon married. King Kamolmmchu appreciated the superior talents of the while men , and made thorn high chiefs. They taught the natives nitiny things , and sewed tlio sued of Christianity among them. When the navigator Vancouver viMted the is land , in 17UI ! , lie was entertained by King Kamohamelia and John Young , who was then the chief counselor. Young built the first house on Iho is land of Hawaii. Its ruins are still to bo seen. It is of stone. Young had no tools but a hatchet and a wooden Irowol. He made Iho door wilh the hatchet , hewing - ing it out of a kea tree slab. Ho white washed the house with lime made from white coral , lishod from the sea. Hero Young and Kuoanneha lived and died , and here their daughter , Fanny Young Kokelaokalini , was born. In 1791 each island of the group was a separate kingdom. About this tune Kam- chamchu made war on llie oilier islands , and eventually conquered till of them , becoming Iho lirst king of the Sandwich islands. In these wars ho was greatly aided by Young , by the firearms and the military instruction ho had received from Vancouver and by the vessel taken from Metcalf's son. King Kameliaineha was tlio grealcsl of his racjj. He was of immense stature and prodigious .strength , while his voice was like tlio roar of the sea. Ho was a most sklllul warrior. When his forces wcro engaged in baltlo ho would take a com manding position , where he could watch every movement. So long as his war riors repulsed llio foe or hold llioir ground , he was silent , but if ho saw any point of his lines weakening ho would rush into the thickest of the tight , dealing death with his terrible club , and by his awful voice cheering on his men and ter rifying tlio enemies. When ho had con nuercd all llio islands he niado John Young governor of Owhyheo , and presented him with a vast amount of land. King Kamchamchn died May 8 , 1819. in the presence of John Young and all his chiefs. Ho was succeeded by his brother. John Young died in 1835 , nt an advanced figo , leaving to his daughter tin immense fortune in hinds and cattle. The last descendant of Kamehanuihn , Queen Kmma Kiiloluonalani , died last April , leaving no issue. She was thn daughter of Fanny Younp ; Kekolaokalini , who was the daughter of Kovannolia and John Young , Queen Kmma was born in Honolulu in 18i. : ) ( She married Kamchamaha IV , , and on his death she became queen. From the other branch of John Young's family , thn living deeendonts come from I'nrniolia Crane , who was a daughter of John Young's Mstor. Mrs. Crane died November 0 , 188.1) , aged 02 yeun > . She was horn in Massachusetts. Her lirst husband was Charles Adams. She wan n warm personal friend of Cardinal Mo- Closkuy. Mrs. I'armolin Crane's daugh ter is Airs. Josephine Smith of Chicago , and her daughter is Mrs. Josephine Fi her of 208 Morgan street. Mrs , Fisher pro poses to prosccmo the claim of the family to any estate in the Hawaiian islands rightfully belonging to the heirs of John Young. THE NEW CARDINAL. Something About Ills Karly Jiifo i\ 31uu utGrcnt 1'iety nnd Kindliest * , A special dispatch from Ualtimoro sava ; During the late plenary council in Baltimore observers worn htruuk by the marked personal contract butwcon Archbibhop Gibbons and Iho other pre lates. Nearly all the Calliolio liislioua are above the average higlit ImiuUomo and commanding in nppcuvanco. Thu firsl of them , however , the president of the council and Iho primate of the church in America , and now BOOH to wear the robes of a cardinal , might have been taken for the humblest of attendant priests were it not for his urchieplscopal robes , At St. Charles' College , Md. , where ho received hi.s classical education , ho was conspicuous for huniblo piety nithor Ulan brilliant achievements in studies. Ho was in bad health during most of his college course. He. grudi.atcd near the b.ottom of his class and entered the seminar } ' without any marked rapulaljou for ability. After his ordlnnllon to the priesthood ho was assigned to n little church in Howard county , near Haiti- more , while his morn brilliant classmates filled city pulpits. To-day , while mot of his classmates are still In the city pulpits , ho Is the first prelate of the church In America. Ills rise is not duo to any worldly - ly achievements. Called by AvehbMi- op Spahling to the assistant rectorship of thn cathedral , ho gained ( ho allectioii of all by his piety and simple eloquence. When North Carolina was made a vtca- rlate nnoitolic ho was appointed vicar on the recommendation of the archbishop , who was much attached to the pioiH young priest. The bishopric of Richmond , Va. . Inu ing become vacant Miortlv after wards by tlie death of Uishop MeOlll , the vicar of North Carolina was given that see In connection with his vicarlatc. Archbishop Hayley , thu successor of Spalding , inherited the hitter's all'oction for the youthful bishop of Richmond and called him to Halthnoro as coadjutor "cum jure siicce sionls " The doatn of Areiibihop Bayley a few months after- waids left Bishop Gibbons occupant of llie see anil primate of tlio American Catholic church. While Archbishop Gibbons presided over the small country parish of Elk- ridge , near Haltimorc , small-pov broke put iu lliu village , and a general exodus immediately followed. An old negro tit thu point ot death was deserted by his family , who left him neither food or med icines. Father Gibbons hastened to thu bodsideaf the dying man nml remained with him till the last. Nor was this all. No one could be procured to carry the coipso to the grave. Fnthi'i-Gibbous ob tained a collin , placed the body therein , and , hiring a wagon , look tlio remains to the cemetery , and after performing the funeral riles buried Iho body. His career as vicar of North Carolina was filled with occurrences equally as note worthy , hut of a humorous rather than a patlietii ? nature , llo still talks with /est of his all day rides on horseback through the North Carolina pine loresLv , of nights spent in the flea-covered log- cabins of the negro , whose best accom modation' ! consisted of a corn-husk bed , meals spread out on the llooiymil gourds for drinkiug-cups ; of savory dinners of fat bacon and hoccakcs and of other ac- comi > auimculs of missionary life among Ihe southern negroes. Archbishop ( Jibbons is llio author of "The Faith of Our Fathers , " which has met with a larger sale than any Roman Catholic- book published in America. More than 100,000 conies have been sold since its publicalion in 1877. As a pulpit orator tlio primate has neither an im pressive presence nor a good voice , but lie Is at best in simple appeals , and to this fact is duo his great missionary suc cess.
