Text Appearing Before Image:
-neers back to their senses, and meditated settling on the island,when, greatly to the American missionaries relief, a barquecame in from Honolulu with the intelligence that a Britishman-o-war was coming up fast in search of that dreadfulsinner and reprobate, the aforesaid Hayes. Besides all thetropical trees of Polynesia and various kinds of palms, Lele iscovered with valuable timber trees from the shores to thesummits of the mountains. Some of this wood, of a speciesyet little known to Europeans, is of the best quality for ship-building purposes, being perfectly straight and of the mostconvenient size, as well as being of great lengths; added tothis its durability is remarkable, and it cannot be attacked bythe salt-water worm. For these reasons the contractors forthe building of a dry-dock and wharves in Shanghai and otherports of China have obtained hence and from the neighboringisland of Ponape cargoes of piles which gave satisfaction.* See A. T. Saunders account of Hayes, p. 347.
