Captain Boki.7 
At ten o’clock in the forenoon of the 9th, I took leave 
of my kind friends at Lahaina, and, in company with 
Messrs. Bingham and Richards, went on board the 
Tamahorolani, bound to Oahu. It was, however, 
four o’clock in the afternoon before the vessel hove 
up her anchor. We were becalmed till nine pv the 
evening, when a fresh breeze sprung up; we passed 
down the channel between Morokai and Ranai; and 
between nine and ten in the forenoon of the 10th, ar¬ 
rived off the harbour of Honoruru. 
On landing, I was grateful to meet my family in 
health and comfort, except Mrs. Ellis, who was con¬ 
fined by severe indisposition. I united with Messrs 
Thurston, Bishop, and Goodrich, who had previously 
arrived, in grateful acknowledgments to God for the 
unremitted care and distinguishing goodness which we 
had enjoyed in accomplishing the interesting tour, from 
which, under circumstances of no small mercy, we had 
now returned.
