508 SEA CHARTS USED IN THE MARSHALL ISLANDS. 



2. About 1855, five canoes would pass from Ebon to Jaluit, but 

 they were wrecked on Kusaie; these came back. 



3. At the close of 1860, Chief Larjojak, with 35 canoes, set out 

 from Jaluit to Killi, designing to sail farther, from Killi to Namorik. 

 Nothing was again seen of this flotilla. Light winds were blowing 

 when they left Killi; after that it was stormy. 



4. In October, 1860, Chief Jurmella. brother of Lojak, endeavored 

 to go from Majuro to Jaluit with 'I'l canoes. Of these, one canoe 

 with Chief Lamedo on board was driven near Panope in the Carolines; 

 the rest were never heard from. 



5. In 1885, 10 canoes, with a war party of 150 men, under chiefs 

 Langeo and Leilik set out from Majuro to Aurh; nothing more was 

 ever seen of them. 



The loss of single boats has been more frequent. This has hap- 

 pened when a canoe in the night has strayed from the pilot boat and 

 afterward was betrayed and sold, or when single families would desert 

 their kindred and go off alone from the island. But there were never 

 any persons of importance in these canoes.
