Political Prisoners.

This past Thursday, Independence Day [La Kuokoa] and also Day of Thanksgiving to God for the deceitful ones, some political prisoners were released, they being W. H. Rickard [W. H. Rikada], T. B. Walker [T. B. Waka], Toma Pule, Kauai, D. Damien [D. Damiena], R. Palau, and Apelahama. As for the haole, after the two of them were read their pardons,  they were given the thanks of President Dole and some Hawaiians as well.¹ Some other political prisoners were no released, but perhaps will be released some time in the future.

Hawaiian newspaper printed in London? 1872.

[Found under: “LOCAL NEWS: Oahu.”]

We have come into possession of a Hawaiian newspaper printed in the city of London, in which was the story of the Wasteful Child [Keiki Uhauha], along with an illustration of the Wayward Child [Keiki Auwana], in preparation for their meeting each other in person after a long separation. It is true that it is probably the Bishop that put it together.

[There is no indication whether this paper is in the Hawaiian-Language or whether it is in English. Might anyone know what this refers to? There seems to have been a chapbook or pamphlet that was available in the 1860s called “Ka hoi ana mai o ke Keiki Uhauha”.]
