GEESTAECKEK IN THE SOUTH SEAS . Narrative , of a Journey Sound the World . By F . Gerstaecker . ^ J ° ^ Blackett . [ SECOXD NOTICE . ] . ¦¦ We return to tlxese singularly interesting volumes altta ^ x ^ passages we should most desire to extract are too long for ^^' - ^{ Jlffec . cnarm in bis description of the South Sea Islands , wd ™ ™ fag ™ Q tkmate manners of their inhabitants which we have met w ^ m m book since the never-to-be-forgotten days . when cMdhaod thi ^ f ™* the narratives of Captain Cook . It makes the reader long to iiurry from these crowded haunts of civilization , and To take some savage woman , she shall rear my dusky race . It puts us out of humour with our east winds , hot ope * as ^ nd severe summers . The free adventurous spirit of the traveller , and his ™ Mfteeted stvle of writin- hold us spell-bound . Get the . volumes by all means . SwHerr ( Antoecker from California , andits ra P ;^» P ™ £ j £ Honolulu and its novel people-a people ^ f ^ ^ L ^^^ d the teristics owing to the dangerous neighbourhood of California , and tne " civilizing activity" of the missionaries : — " But if I liad been astonished on a first view at seeing the barren mountains of islands which I had thought covere d with luxuriant vegetation , I was more so when wandering through the streets of . the perfect little town , at signs of civihzatiou I had really not looked for in these latitudes . Coming to the Sandwich Islands , and expecting to find here a nearly wild South Sea Island to roam about throu-h thick groves of cocoa-palms , and other fruit-trees with the half-tamed inhabitants , beautiful and interesting in their natural and happy life—and what did I find on the very spot where I had fancied a luxurious tro Pi cal vegetation ? howlino-. allevs , billiard-tables livery stables , and tap-rooms , and as sober and dull faces ns I could Lave wished for in any larger town in Europe or America . ' * But no , the influence of the Catholic missionaries had not yet destroyed all the peculiar qualities of the race ; the natives still possessed tl * light brown skin the black , silky curled hair , the glowing datk eye , the quick lively motions and calculations my eye sought , and met even on the landing , and the most singular Sronhs . A great number of the natives had collected round the houses some of them squatting down—a posture they seem to admire very much-while others were standing and gesticulating , talking about the arriving or departing ships , and laughing and " chatting with the girls , who , in calico frocks of very lively colours , walked up and down along the « wharft , " or stopped to have a little talk with the young men , and laughed and dance d and shook their long dark tresses round their temples . ... » The ladies most certainly deserve our first attention ; they are , without exception , dressed in long loose gowns of gaudy colours , preferring , as it seems , yellow and red , some of them wearing a small girdle , or a gay shawl tied round their waist , which as it revealed their forms more fully , could only be an improvement ; for these wild island girls , with their dark co > plexion and glowing eyes , their slender and voluptuous forms , and quick and graceful motions—graceful because they are natural—are really most lovely beings . " Many of these girls wear over their calico dresses silken kcrehiefs or shawls , Inifc niOKt all of them flowers or another ornament , made of red and yellow wool , round their temples and upon their long beautiful tresses , intended as an imitation of the more costly feather adornment of the same colour * and shape . Nearly
„« of them go barefooted , and in fact with very little clothing , except fUi gowa , ^ : ± rr r : r sr ^ - - * . « - *; S ^ S ^ -sSttBa sTJ * " ¦' ferstaecta met with many disappommeata mIW » H which turned out to bo very different from what he had antic pated mMmmmmM S ^ K ^^^^ - S ^^ cabbages , bore a most unreasonable price . ^ What will our go-a-head economists say to this mode of doing busi-Tlf ^ QQ - iSa ^ iSM ^^^ auiteinS ent how long he may have to wait for another customer and sit there the next day fust as patiently with his dozen eggs as if his life depended upon he e few cents , ^ he natives , on the same principle , carry turkeys for instance over the pali or abyss that divides the island into two parts , a distance of at leaTt six or eight miles to Ho nolulu , and fix a certain price for the birds ; bat if you want to buy them in their own house , saving the men the trouble and labour of carrying the heavy birds such a long distance , mid employing in the most favourable case at least a whole day of their time , they would not yield a single cent of the sum once fixed upon as the price of the turkeys : time and travelling in foot , they do not count , and that price they must fetch . Captains of vessels , therefore , buy all the produce they need just as ^ cheaply in the market as they would do in the very homes of the market people . " If Honolulu did not come up to his idea of a South Sea Island . was more than compensated by his visit to Maiao , Emao , and Tahiti ; and we envy the reader his first perusal of these chapters .
