FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. THE MORNING STAR'S REPORT TO HER STOCKHOLDERS. THE "Morning Star," after a trip of eight months in Micronesia, arrived at Honolulu, February 26. She brings her own story of herself and her trip, written in Micronesia in December last. The stockholders will welcome such a direct report. Accompanying the report, we give two pictures, one of a lagoon coral island, such as the "Star" has frequently seen on her trip, and one of the cocoa-nut palm, which grows luxuriantly on some of the Micronesian Islands, like Kusaie, a picture of which was given in the Herald for January last. 6 "To my numerous, respected, and happy owners, the Morning Star' sends greeting, health, peace, and joy to you all : "I am on my eighth trip in Old Micronesia' and my sixth in the 'New.' I am now doing my very best to get back to Ponape, having done up all my work at the Mortlocks. I came down flying, making the distance of 280 miles from Ponape to Lukanor, in less than four days. I am going back 'wallowing,' for this is the only way of getting along, according to my experience for the last two weeks. I am doing the very best I can, and am glad no one on board complains at my slow progress. The only approach to complaint from any one is the rather natural remark, which rather mortifies me, 'Now is the time for a steamer.' 'Oh for the power of steam!' Well, I am sorry, and would gladly do better; I am thinking of the dear ones waiting for my return, on Ponape and Ebon. I am much wanting to get up to Pingelap and Mokil, to give those good people in the East a chance to welcome me and their misssionary, as they have done in the West; but what's the use? The captain says he never had such experience before, head winds and baffling; 'north' and 'south.' Mr. Sturges wonders if the winds and I are on a dodging frolic,' and suggests to the captain that he 'tack ship' without saying anything. The Captain says, 'that's just what I COCOA-NUT PALM. have been doing, but the winds are too fast for me.' And so we have it 'up and down,' 'up and down.' All on board agree that it is from the Lord, so there is no complaining. Only I'm a little sorry to hear there is any thought of 'laying me up' to give place to a young steamer; I think they'll rue the day when they do it. I trust you will do all you can for me, and never agree to a compromise: I have served you well, and am good for many a trip yet. Besides, it would be so hard not to come back to see these sunny isles, and the dear missionaries and their people. I was the first to bring teachers to these lovely Mortlocks. They have always been glad to see me, and never more so than just now. Oh, how I do love to see them gathered on their white beach to sing me their pretty songs of welcome. I can't help wishing I were a big phonograph; how the Honolulu people would stare and throw up their hats to hear me repeat the sounds that have come to me from the shores of these sunny Mortlocks! I am so happy too that I got along to new islands and landed Ponape teachers there. I hope next year to bring from Ponape more new teachers, for I heard the missionary promise the people on Namolik to bring them teachers, and he has also requests for teachers on dark Ruk. I hope to go there next year, and should have gone on this trip had there been anything to take. "I am very happy to bring down supplies and letters and papers to these dear good missionaries, they all seem so happy in their work, and so blessed, and it is pleasant to take them around to see their children and |
